We investigate the behavior of the superconducting transition temperature within a previously developed BCS-Bose Einstein crossover picture. This picture, based on a decoupling scheme of Kadanoff and Martin, further extended by Patton, can…
Key properties of the cuprates, such as the pseudogap observed above the critical temperature $T_c$, remain highly debated. Given their importance, we recently proposed a novel mechanism based on the Bose-like condensation of mutually…
The ability to induce a sizable gap in the excitation spectrum of a normal layer placed in contact with a conventional superconductor has become increasingly important in recent years in the context of engineering a topological…
Through an analysis and modeling of data from various experimental techniques, we present clear evidence for the presence of a hidden order pseudogap in \U in the temperature range between 25 K and 17.5 K. Considering fluctuations of the…
Pairing of electrons in conventional superconductors occurs at the superconducting transition temperature Tc, creating an energy gap D in the electronic density of states (DOS). In the high-Tc superconductors, a partial gap in the DOS…
We provide a new perspective on the pseudogap physics for attractive fermions as described by the three-dimensional Hubbard model. The pseudogap in the single-particle spectral function, which occurs for temperatures above the critical…
The interplay between unconventional Cooper pairing and quantum states associated with atomic scale defects is a frontier of research with many open questions. So far, only a few of the high-temperature superconductors allow this intricate…
We report first measurements on tunneling into the {\it interior} of a Ru microdomain embedded in bulk chiral p-wave superconductor Sr$_{2}$RuO$_{4}$. The junctions were prepared by pressing a pure In wire onto the ${\it{ab}}$ face of a…
The pseudogap effect of underdoped high-$T_c$ superconductors is studied in the U(1) gauge theory of the t-J model including the spinon pairing fluctuation. The gauge fluctuation breaks the long range correlation between the spinon pairs.…
We report a comprehensive TF-muSR study of TiSe_2Cu_2. The magnetic penetration depth was found to saturate at low temperature as expected in an s-wave SC. As x is increased we find that the superfluid density increases and the size of the…
The origin of the partial suppression of the electronic density states in the enigmatic pseudogap behavior, which is at the core of understanding high-$T_c$ superconductivity, has been hotly contested as either a hallmark of preformed…
The heating-compensated interlayer tunneling spectroscopy is performed on stacks of Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+x}$ intrinsic junctions. The high-accuracy spectra without the local heating, for varying temperatures and magnetic fields, reveal…
We show that superconducting interlayer coupling, which coexists with and is depressed by stripe order in La1.885Ba0.115CuO4, can be enhanced by excitation with near-infrared laser pulses. For temperatures lower than Tc = 13 K, we observe a…
Neutron crystal-field spectroscopy experiments in the Y- and La-type high-temperature superconductors HoBa2Cu3O6.56, HoBa2Cu4O8, and La1.81Sr0.15Ho0.04CuO4 are reviewed. By this bulk-sensitive technique, information on the gap function is…
We study Cooper-pair phase fluctuations in cuprate superconductors for a spin fluctuation pairing interaction. Using an electronic theory we calculate in particular for the underdoped cuprate superconductors the superfluid density $n_s(T)$,…
On the basis of an electronic model with separable attractive interaction, the precursors at high temperature and strong coupling of the d-wave superconducting state are investigated in the one-particle spectral function $A({\bf k},\omega)$…
We describe the spectral properties of underdoped cuprates as resulting from a momentum-dependent pseudogap in the normal state spectrum. Such a model accounts, within a BCS approach, for the doping dependence of the critical temperature…
We performed the local spectroscopy of a Normal-metal--Superconductor (N-S) junction with the help of a very low temperature (60 mK) Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM). The spatial dependence of the local density of states was probed…
Proximity effect is used to generate effective topological superconductor by placing strong spin orbit interacting metals with superconducting materials, aiming to produce Majorana zero modes useful for topologically protected quantum…
Resistive, magnetization, torque, specific heat and scanning tunneling microscopy measurements are carried out on the hole heavily doped CsFe$_2$As$_2$ single crystals. A characteristic temperature $T^*\sim13$ K, which is several times…
