Temperature-dependent inter-plane resistivity, $\rho_c(T)$, was measured systematically as a function of transition metal substitution in the iron-arsenide superconductors Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$T$_x$)$_2$As$_2$, $T$= Ni, Pd, Rh. The data are…

Using the d-p model, we demonstrate that the pseudogap, which is induced by the superconducting fluctuation, plays key roles in the determination of the phase diagram observed in high-Tc superconducting materials. We take the pairing…
The cuprate superconductors distinguish themselves from the conventional superconductors in that a small variation in the carrier doping can significantly change the superconducting transition temperature (T_c), giving rise to a…
Charge density waves are a common occurrence in all families of high critical temperature superconducting cuprates. Although consistently observed in the underdoped region of the phase diagram and at relatively low temperatures, it is still…
