Pairing Fluctuation Theory of Superconducting Properties in Underdoped   to Overdoped Cuprates
  We propose a theoretical description of the superconducting state of under- to overdoped cuprates, based on the short coherence length of these materials and the associated strong pairing fluctuations. The calculated $T_c$ and the zero temperature excitation gap $\Delta(0)$, as a function of hole concentration $x$, are in semi-quantitative agreement with experiment. Although the ratio $T_c/\Delta(0)$ has a strong $x$ dependence, different from the universal BCS value, and $\Delta(T)$ deviates significantly from the BCS prediction, we obtain, quite remarkably, quasi-universal behavior, for the normalized superfluid density $\rho_s(T)/\rho_s(0)$ and the Josephson critical current $I_c(T)/I_c(0)$, as a function of $T/T_c$. While experiments on $\rho_s(T)$ are consistent with these results, future measurements on $I_c(T)$ are needed to test this prediction.
