Description

Scaling relations between the superconducting transition temperature $T_{\rm c}$, the superfluid stiffness $ρ_{\rm s}$ and the normal state conductivity $σ_0(T_{\rm c})$ are identified within the class of molecular superconductors. These new scaling properties hold as $T_{\rm c}$ varies over two orders of magnitude for materials with differing dimensionality and contrasting molecular structure, and are dramatically different from the equivalent scaling properties observed within the family of cuprate superconductors. These scaling relations place strong constraints on theories for molecular superconductivity.
