I discuss the mean-field theory of superconductivity in a strongly disordered system of fermions with short-range attraction. It is argued that in this limit the effective theory at low energies is equivalent to the disordered Bose–Hubbard model, and I consider both the infinite-range and the "nearest-neighbor" hopping of bosons between the localized states. In the infinite-range case the mean-field theory is exact, and the superconducting gap is uniform in space, while in the latter case, the gap becomes highly non-uniform in space, but, surprisingly, is finite everywhere at T < T MF . I find that the mean-field transition temperature T MF > 0 always, and argue that the superconductor–insulator transition at T = 0 in models with net attraction between fermions is in the universality class of "dirty-bosons".

We report on the analysis of low and high temperature series for the Ising model with nearest-neighbor antiferromagnetic and next-nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic interactions on the bcc lattice. The high temperature series are complete to β7, the low temperature series to u37. We determine the phase diagram, locate the tricritical point, and estimate the tricritical exponents. The tricritical exponents are only in fair agreement with the predictions of tricritical mean field theory.

A mean field theory is developed which is applicable to the orientational behavior of (J = 1) hydrogen molecules on the surface of Grafoil. The hydrogen molecules are assumed to form a triangular lattice in a weak, axially symmetric crystal field, Vc. perpendicular to the substrate and to interact via the electric quadrupole–quadrupole interaction with nearest-neighbor coupling constant Γ. Free energy calculations for the various possible ordered phases are presented, and a Landau expansion is used to investigate the phase boundary between the disordered and ordered phases. A computer calculation, based on the iterative method of James, is used to determine the lines of transition between ordered phases. For almost all values of Vc < 22.5Γ, the disordered to ordered state phase transition is continuous. Four distinct types of ordered phases are found — a four-sublattice phase, two two-sublattice phases, and a one-sublattice phase which resembles an X–Y model. Comparison is made to the recent nmr data of Kubik and Hardy for H2 and D2 on Grafoil.
