Abstract

The electronic structures of the ground state for several different superconducting materials, such as cuprates, conventional 3-dimensional superconductors, doped semiconductors, and low-dimensional systems, are quite different and sometimes in contrast to what supposed to make a superconductor. Properties like the Femathrmi-surface (FS) topology, density of states (DOS), stripes, electron-phonon coupling (λ ep), and spin fluctuations (λ sf) are analyzed in order to find clues to what might be important for the mechanism of superconductivity. A high DOS at E F is important for standard estimates of λ ′ s, but it is suggested that superconductivity can survive a low DOS if the FS is simple enough. Superconducting fluctuations are plausible from coupling to long-wavelength modes in underdoped cuprates, where short coherence length is a probable obstacle for long-range superconductivity. Themathrmal disorder is recognized as a limiting factor for large T C independently of doping.
