Bulk polycrystalline samples of nano- Mo doped MgB 2 were synthesized by Fe tube encapsulation at ambient pressure under argon annealing (850°C). Mo substitution takes place successfully at the Mg site in Mg 1-x Mo x B 2 only till x=0.2. For higher (x>0.2) Mo content the same did not enter the MgB 2 lattice but rather forms an isomorphic lattice in the host with decreased c but an increased a-parameter. The ρ(T) measurements showed superconducting transition temperature (T c ) of around 36 K for all the samples till x=0.3 and slightly decreased values of 35 and 34 K for x=0.4 and 0.5 samples, respectively. Resistivity under magnetic field [R(T)H] experiments showed distinct single peaks in dρ/dT for all applied fields up to 8 Tesla. The estimated upper critical field H c2 is 8 Tesla for pristine and x=0.2 samples at 15.6 and 19 K, respectively. Thus H c2 increases up to x=0.20 samples and decreases afterwards. Magnetic susceptibility measurements exhibited sharp transition to superconducting state with a sizeable diamagnetic signal at 38 K (T c ) in zero field-cooled measurements. Commendable current density (J c ) of up to 105 A/cm2 in 1–2 T (Tesla) fields at temperatures (T) of up to 10 K is seen from magnetization measurements invoking the Bean's critical state model for pristine samples. For higher fields above 2.5 Tesla the J c (H) characteristics of x=0.1 and 0.2 samples were found to be slightly superior to that for pristine samples with enhanced H irr (irreversibility field).

With particular reference to the role of the renormalization group (RG) approach and Ward identities (WI's), we start by recalling some old features of the one-dimensional Luttinger liquid as the prototype of non-Fermi-liquid behavior. Its dimensional crossover to the Landau normal Fermi liquid implies that a non-Fermi liquid, as, e.g., the normal phase of the cuprate high temperature superconductors, can be maintained in d>1 only in the presence of a sufficiently singular effective interaction among the charge carriers. This is the case when, nearby an instability, the interaction is mediated by critical fluctuations. We are then led to introduce the specific case of superconductivity in cuprates as an example of avoided quantum criticality. We will disentangle the fluctuations which act as mediators of singular electron–electron interaction, enlightening the possible order competing with superconductivity and a mechanism for the non-Fermi-liquid behavior of the metallic phase. This paper is not meant to be a comprehensive review. Many important contributions will not be considered. We will also avoid using extensive technicalities and making full calculations for which we refer to the original papers and to the many good available reviews. We will here only follow one line of reasoning which guided our research activity in this field.
