Abstract
Properties of superfluid states of two-dimensional electron
systems with critical antiferromagnetic fluctuations are
investigated.
These correlations are found to result in the emergence of
rapidly varying in the
momentum space terms in all components of the mass operator, including
the gap function Δ( p). It is shown that a domain, where
these terms reside, shrinks with the temperature, leading to
a significant difference between the temperature
Tc, at which superconductivity is terminated, and the
temperature T*, where the gap in the single-particle spectrum
vanishes.
