Electron-doped and hole-doped superconducting cuprates exhibit a symmetric phase diagram as a function of doping. This symmetry is however only approximate. Indeed, electron-doped cuprates become superconductors only after a specific…
The understanding of the interplay between different orders in a solid is a key challenge in highly correlated electronic systems. In real systems this is even more difficult since disorder can have a strong influence on the subtle balance…
The distribution of holes in Sr$_{14-x}$Ca$_x$Cu$_{24}$O$_{41}$ (SCCO) is revisited with semi-emperical reanalysis of the x-ray absorption (XAS) data and exact-diagonalized cluster calculations. A new interpretation of the XAS data leads to…
High temperature superconductivity was achieved by introducing holes in a parent compound consisting of copper oxide layers separated by spacer layers. It is possible to dope some of the parent compounds with electrons, and their physical…

More than three decades after the discovery of superconductivity (SC) in the cuprates, the nature of the "normal" state and the mechanism of SC remain mysterious. One popular theoretical approach has been to treat the CuO$_2$ layer as…
A variational Monte Carlo calculation is used for studying the ground state of the two-dimensional Hubbard model, including hopping between both nearest and next-nearest neighbor sites. Superconductivity with d-wave symmetry is found to be…
Experimental results obtained by using x-ray absorption spectroscopy show that the configurations of Cu sites in the CuO2 plane of Bi 2:2:1:2 high Tc superconductors are not homogeneous. Different Cu sites are characterized by short 0.23 nm…
A simple model of cuprate superconductivity with an electron spectrum prepared by doping is developed. The pair-transfer interaction couples the itinerant band with two components ("hot'' and "cold'') of the defect subsystem. There are…

Superconductors are a striking example of a quantum phenomenon in which electrons move coherently over macroscopic distances without scattering. The high-temperature superconducting oxides(cuprates) are the most studied class of…
Chemical substitution, combined with strain, allows the charge-transfer energy in hole-doped cuprates to be broadly tuned. We theoretically characterize the structural and electronic properties of the family of compounds $R_2$CuO$_2$S$_2$,…
The currently established electronic phase diagram of cuprates is based on a study of single- and double-layered compounds. These CuO$_2$ planes, however, are directly contacted with dopant layers, thus inevitably disordered with an…
