Cuprate high-temperature superconductors are known to have a normal-state pseudogap but, after many years of intense research, its relation to the superconductivity is still a mystery. Similarly, the in-plane Hall coefficient $R_{\rm H}$…
We compared four hole-scales that have been used to determine the hole-concentration in high-temperature cuprate superconductors. We show that the hole-scale, $P_{pl}$-scale, based on the thermoelectric power [T. Honma $et$ $al$., Phys.…
In the two-leg S=1/2 ladders of Sr_14Cu_24O_41 a modulation of the exchange coupling arises from the charge order within the other structural element, the CuO_2 chains. In general, breaking translational invariance by modulation causes gaps…
We report the measurements of the pseudodielectric function, far-infrared reflectivity and Raman scattering spectra in Sr_{14}Cu_{24}O_{41} single crystal. We study the lattice and the spin dynamics of the Cu$_2$O$_3$ spin ladders and…
We show that low temperature specific heat (C$_p$) of the incommensurate chain-ladder system Sr$_{14}$Cu$_{24}$O$_{41}$ is enriched by the presence of a rather large excess contribution of non-magnetic origin. Diluted Al doping at the Cu…
In the layered cuprate perovskites, the occurence of high-temperature superconductivity seems deeply related to the unusual nature of the hole excitations. The limiting case of a very small number of holes diffusing in the antiferromagnetic…
The phase diagram of the planar t--J model at small hole doping is investigated by finite size scaling of exact diagonalisation data of NXN clusters (up to 26). Hole-droplet binding energies, compressibility and static spin and charge…
The longitudinal resistivity $\rho_{xx}$ of two-dimensional electron gases formed in wells with two subbands displays ringlike structures when plotted in a density--magnetic-field diagram, due to the crossings of spin-split Landau levels…
Using 4-site plaquette or rung basis decomposition, the CORE method is applied to 2-leg and 4-leg t-J ladders and cylinders. Resulting range-2 effective hamiltonians are studied numerically on periodic rings taking full advantage of the…
Magnetization measurements of Sr{14-x}Ca_xCu_{24}O_{41} with 0 <= x <=12 in magnetic fields up to 16 T show that the low-temperature magnetic response of the CuO_2 spin chains changes strongly upon Ca doping. For x=0 quantum statistical…
Partial substitution of Fe by Ta in the hole-doped La0.5Sr0.5FeO3 decreases the electric conductivity by up to three orders of magnitude. This decrease is in immediate correlation with a decrease of the electron hole concentration and a…
In a complex scattering system with few open channels, say a quantum dot with leads, the correlation properties of the poles of the scattering matrix are most directly related to the internal dynamics of the system. We may ask how to…
Exact diagonalizations of two dimensional small t--J clusters reveal dominant hole-hole correlations at distance $\sqrt{2}$ (ie between holes on next nearest neighbor sites). A new form of singlet $d_{x^2-y^2}$ pair operator is proposed to…
We study the motion of holes in a mixed-dimensional setup of an antiferromagnetic ladder, featuring nearest neighbor hopping $t$ along the ladders and Ising-type spin interactions along, $J_\parallel$, and across, $J_\perp$, the ladder. We…
The effect of a weak random potential on two-leg Hubbard ladders is investigated. The random potential is shown to induce Anderson localization except for attractive enough interactions, supressing completely d-wave superconductivity. These…
The importance of charge reservoir layers for supplying holes to the CuO$_2$ planes of cuprate superconductors has long been recognized. Less attention has been paid to the screening of the charge transfer by the intervening ionic layers.…
