Using resonant X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy, we study charge correlations and lattice dynamics in two model cuprates, HgBa$_{2}$CuO$_{4+\delta}$ and HgBa$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{6+\delta}$. We observe a maximum of the characteristic…
Phononic and magnetic Raman scattering are studied in La$_{2-x-y}$Nd$_{y}$Sr$_{x}$CuO$_{4}$ with three doping concentrations: x ~ 1/8, y = 0; x ~ 1/8, y = 0.4; and x = 0.01, y = 0. We observe strong disorder in the tilt pattern of the…
We have investigated the doping dependencies of the basal areas in single-layer high-T_c cuprates La_{2-x}Sr_xCuO_4 and HgBa_2CuO_x, as well as in two-layer Y_{1-y}Ca_yBa_2Cu_3O_x and HgBa_2CaCu_2O_x. The basal areas not only tend to shrink…
Combined synchrotron angle-dispersive powder diffraction and micro-Raman spectroscopy are used to investigate the pressure-induced lattice instabilities that are accompanied by T$_{\rm c}$ anomalies in YBa$_{\rm 2}$Cu$_{\rm 4}$O$_{\rm 8}$,…
Magnetization and ac-susceptibility measurements are used to characterize the mixed phase of the high-temperature cuprate superconductor La$_{2-x}$Sr$_{x}$CuO$_{4}$ over a large range of doping (0.075 $\leq x\leq$ 0.20). The first order…
Complex oxides are well known to develop oxygen ordering patterns with well defined periodicities, but their interplay with electronic correlations remains largely unexplored. Here, we report resonant and non-resonant x-ray diffraction data…
We use resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) at the O $K$- and Cu $K$-edges to investigate the doping- and temperature dependence of low-energy plasmon excitations in La$_{2-x}$Sr$_{x}$CuO$_4$. We observe a monotonic increase of the…
The oxygen isotope ($^{16}$O/$^{18}$O) effect (OIE) on the pseudogap (charge-stripe ordering) temperature $T^{\ast}$ is investigated for the cuprate superconductor La$_{2-x}$Sr$_{x}$CuO$_{4}$ as a function of doping $x$ by means of x-ray…
We study the model high-temperature superconductor HgBa2CuO4+d with electronic Raman scattering and optical ellipsometry over a wide doping range. The resonant Raman condition which enhances the scattering cross section of "two-magnon"…
We present results of Raman scattering experiments on tetragonal ${\rm (Y_{1-y}Ca_{y})Ba_{2}Cu_{3}O_{6+x}}$ for doping levels $p(x,y)$ between 0 and 0.07 holes/CuO$_2$. Below the onset of superconductivity at $p_{\rm sc1} \approx 0.06$, we…
We use Raman scattering to study spin, charge, and lattice dynamics in various phases of Ca_{2-x}Sr_{x}RuO_{4}. With increasing substitution of Ca by Sr in the range 0 =< x < 0.2, we observe (1) evidence for an increase of the…
In high-temperature cuprate superconductors, stripe order refers broadly to a coupled spin and charge modulation with a commensuration of eight and four lattice units, respectively. How this stripe order evolves across optimal doping…
We report a comprehensive Cu $K$-edge RIXS investigation of $\rm La_{2-x}Sr_xCuO_4$ (LSCO) for 0$\leq$x$\leq$0.35, stripe-ordered $\rm La_{1.875}Ba_{0.125}CuO_4$ (LBCO), and $\rm La_{2}Cu_{0.96}Ni_{0.04}O_4$ (LCNO) crystals. The RIXS…
While the dominant magnetic interaction in La$_2$CuO$_4$ is superexchange between nearest-neighbor Cu moments, the pinning of the spin direction depends on weak anisotropic effects associated with spin-orbit coupling. The symmetry of the…
We report neutron scattering measurements of the structure and magnetism of stage-4 La_2CuO_{4+y} with T_c ~42 K. Our diffraction results on a single crystal sample demonstrate that the excess oxygen dopants form a three-dimensional ordered…
The doping dependence of the micro-Raman spectra of high quality La_{2-x}Sr_xCuO_4 microcrystals with x=0.0-0.45 has been investigated in the region 10-300 K. The phonon at ~100 cm^{-1} of the orthorhombic phase shows a classical soft mode…
We present Raman scattering experiments in ${\rm La_{2-x}Sr_xCuO_4}$ single crystals at various doping levels x and compare the results with theoretical predictions obtained assuming an interaction mediated by spin and charge fluctuations.…
The lattice properties at low temperatures of two samples of NdFeAsO1-xFx (x=0.05 and 0.25) have been examined in order to investigate possible structural phase transition that may occur in the optimally doped superconducting sample with…
The structural and electronic properties of La$_{2-x}$Ba$_x$CuO$_4$ were investigated as a function of Ba-concentration $0 \leq x \leq 1.2$, within the virtual crystal approximation (VCA) by means of first-principles total-energy…
We use small angle neutron scattering to study the superconducting vortex lattice in La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$ as a function of doping and magnetic field. We show that near optimally doping the vortex lattice coordination and the…
