We present a detailed analysis on the hopping between monolayer CuO$_2$ and bulk CuO$_2$ plane in the Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+\delta}$ substrate. With a two-band model, we demonstrate that the nodeless gap can only exist when the hole…
The electromagnetic response of a system with two planes per unit cell involves, in addition to the usual intraband contribution, an added interband term. These transitions affect the temperature dependence and the magnitude of the zero…
Hole-doped high-temperature cuprate superconductors below optimum doping have small electron-like Fermi surfaces occupying a small fraction of the Brillouin zone. There is strong evidence that this is linked to charge density wave (CDW)…
We propose to explain the contradictory experimental evidence about the symmetry of the order parameter in $YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7} $ by taking into account the coupling between planes and chains. This leads to an anticrossing of the plane and…
A self-consistent model is developed for the surface and bulk states of thin Y_{1-y}Ca_yBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta} (YCBCO) films. The dispersions of the chain and plane layers are modelled by tight-binding bands, and the electronic structure is…

The Ortho-II phase of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_6.5$ is characterized by a periodic alternation of empty Cu and filled Cu-O b-axis doubling the unit cell in the a direction. The extra oxygen in the full chains gives rise to an attractive potential…
We report measurements of the in-plane magnetic penetration depth $\lambda$ in single crystals of SmFeAsO$_{1-x}$F$_y$ ($x\simeq y \simeq 0.2$) with $T_c \simeq 45$ K. We find that at low temperature $\lambda$ has an exponential temperature…
