The nature of the underdoped pseudogap regime of the high-temperature superconductors has been a matter of long-term debate. On quite general grounds, one expects that due to their low superfluid densities and short correlation lengths,…

Temperature and doping dependent tunneling spectroscopy on $Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+\delta}$ single crystals has been investigated by using break-junction technique. The results provide direct evidence that the pseudogap persists into heavily…

In superconductors, electrons bound into Cooper pairs conduct a dissipationless current. The strength of the Cooper pairs scales with the value of the critical transition temperature (Tc). In cuprate high-Tc superconductors, however, the…

We report the observation of a pseudogap in the \emph{ab}-plane optical conductivity of underdoped Ba$_{1-x}$K$_{x}$Fe$_{2}$As$_{2}$ ($x = 0.2$ and 0.12) single crystals. Both samples show prominent gaps opened by a spin density wave (SDW)…

The optical properties of KCa$_{2}$Fe$_{4}$As$_{4}$F$_{2}$ (K12442, $T_c = 33.5$~K) and KCa$_{2}$(Fe$_{0.95}$Ni$_{0.05}$)$_{4}$As$_{4}$F$_{2}$ (Ni-K12442, $T_c = 29$~K) have been examined at a large number of temperatures. For both samples,…

In many unconventional superconductors, the presence of a pseudogap - a suppression in the electronic density of states extending above the critical temperature - has been a long-standing mystery. Here, we employ combined \textit{in situ}…

We present new Au/La_{2-x}Sr_{x}CuO_{4} (LSCO) point-contact conductance measures as a function of voltage and temperature in samples with 0.08 <= x <= 0.2. Andreev reflection features disappear at about the bulk Tc, giving no evidence of…

We have performed temperature dependent tunneling spectroscopy on an impurity-free surface area of a LiFeAs single crystal. Our data reveal a highly unusual temperature evolution of superconductivity: at $T_c^*=18$~K a partial…

We propose that, if the pseudogap state in the cuprate superconductors can be described in terms of the phase-incoherent preformed pairs, there should exist Andreev reflection from these pairs even above the superconducting transition…

Superconductivity is a quantum phenomenon caused by bound pairs of electrons. In diverse families of strongly correlated electron systems, the electron pairs are not bound together by phonon exchange but instead by some other kind of…

We present transport and tunneling measurements of Pb-Ag bilayers with thicknesses, $d_{Pb}$ and $d_{Ag}$, that are much less than the superconducting coherence length. The transition temperature, $T_c$, and energy gap, $\Delta$, in the…

We investigate the pseudogap onset temperature $T^*$, the superconducting transition temperature $T_c$ and the general nature of the pseudogap phase using a diagrammatic BCS-Bose Einstein crossover theory. This decoupling scheme is based on…

It is argued that the superconducting and pseudogaps represent different coexisting phenomena, and this observation speaks against the precursor-superconductivity scenario of the pseudogap; see, V.M. Krasnov et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 84,…

The superconducting transition temperature, Tc, of bilayers comprising underdoped La2-xSrxCuO4 films capped by a thin heavily overdoped metallic La1.65Sr0.35CuO4 layer, is found to increase with respect to Tc of the bare underdoped films.…

We utilize ultrafast optical measurement to study the quasiparticle relaxation in stoichiometric LiFeAs and nearly optimally doped (BaK)Fe2As2 crystals. According to our temperature-dependent studies of LiFeAs, we have observed…

Critical currents $I_c$ were measured in Superconducting - normal - superconducting SNS c-axis junctions, where S was optimally doped $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$ below $T_c$ (90 K) and N was $La_{2-x}Sr_xCuO_4$ above its $T_c$ ($<$25 K) but in…

We report the out-of-plane resistivity in the systematically oxygen-controlled single crystals Bi$_{1.74}$Pb$_{0.38}$Sr$_{1.88}$CuO$_{6+\delta}$ in magnetic fields parallel to the c-axis. Two characteristic temperatures $T^*$ and $T^{**}$…

It has been proposed that the superconducting transition temperature $T_{\mathrm{c}}$ of an unconventional superconductor with a large pairing scale but strong phase fluctuations can be enhanced by coupling it to a metal. However, the…

We report a study of magnetic susceptibility and electrical resistivity as a function of temperature and magnetic field in superconducting crystals of La$_{2-x}$Ca$_{1+x}$Cu$_{2}$O$_{6}$ with $x=0.10$ and 0.15 and transition temperature…

We report high-resolution photoemission spectroscopy of newly-discovered iron-based layered superconductor La(O$_{0.93}$F$_{0.07}$)FeAs (Tc = 24 K). We found that the superconducting gap shows a marked deviation from the isotropic s-wave…
