Summary:

This thesis presents and discusses recent optical low-temperature experiments on disordered NbN, granular Al thin-films, and the heavy-fermion compound CeCoIn5, offering a unified picture of quantum-critical superconductivity. It provides a concise introduction to the respective theoretical models employed to interpret the experimental results, and guides readers through in-depth calculations supplemented with supportive figures in order to both retrace the interpretations and span the bridge between experiment and state-of-the art theory.

Contents:

Field-Theoretical Basics of Superconductivity

Experimental Studies of Disordered NBN

Thin films

Experimental Studies of Granular Al Thin Films

Experimental Studies of the Heavy

Fermion Metal CeCoIn5.
