We consider the problem of c-axis transport in double-layered cuprates, in particular with reference to Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{8+\delta}$ compounds. We exploit the effect of the two barriers on the thermal and tunnel transport. The…

The anomalous properties of High-$T_{{\rm c}}$ cuprates are investigated both in the normal state and in the superconducting state. In particular, we pay atte ntion to the pseudogap in the normal state and the phase transition from the pse…

The reflectance of high-quality, unpolished single crystals of YBa_2Cu_3O_{6+x}, for the doping range x=0.50 -> 0.95, has been measured with radiation polarized along the c axis from approx 50 cm^{-1} to 5000 cm^{-1} between 10 K and 300 K.…

Changes of the 400 cm^{-1} peak in the c-axis conductivity of underdoped YBa2Cu3O6.6 upon application of a parallel magnetic field reported by Kojima et al. are shown to be consistent with the model where the peak is due to the superfluid.…

In conventional superconductors the magnitude of the pairing fluctuation is primarily determined by Tc and the superconducting (SC) coherence length, {\xi}. In systems with strong structural and electronic anisotropies, the interlayer…

Within the t-J model, the charge dynamics of copper oxide materials in the underdoped regime is studied based on the fermion-spin theory. It is shown that both in-plane charge dynamics and c-axis charge dynamics are mainly governed by the…

The existence of a normal state spectral gap in underdoped cuprates raises important questions about the associated superconducting phase. For example, how does this pseudogap evolve into its below Tc counterpart? In this paper we…

I review some of the experimental evidence and theoretical arguments that suggest that pseudogap matter is a new form of matter that coexists with coherent electron matter in the normal state and with superconducting matter below the…

A pairing gap and coherence are the two hallmarks of superconductivity. In a classical BCS superconductor they are established simultaneously at Tc. In the cuprates, however, an energy gap (pseudogap) extends above Tc. The origin of this…

The far-infrared c-axis conductivity of flux-grown Y$_{1-x}$Pr$_{x}$Ba$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{7}$ single crystals with 0.2$\leq $x$\leq $0.5 has been studied by sepectral ellipsometry. We find that the c-axis response exhibits spectral features…

Over the past few years, several exciting experiments in the cuprates have seen evidence of a transient superconducting state upon optical excitation polarized along the c-axis [R. Mankowsky et al., Nature 516, 71 (2014)]. The competition…

To gain insight into the out-of-plane electrodynamics of high-$T_c$ superconduct ors we have measured the absolute values and temperature dependence of the c-a xis magnetic penetration depth $\lambda_c(T)$ for two typical single layer high…

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…

When holes move in the background of strong antiferromagnetic correlation, two effects with different spatial scale emerge, leading to a much reduced hopping integral with an additional phase factor. An effective Hamiltonian is then…

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)…

Scanning tunneling spectroscopy was performed on c-axis Y{1-x}Ca{x}Ba2Cu3O{7-delta} thin films for x= 0, 0.05, 0.15 and 0.20 at 4.2K. The measured spectra show main-gap, sub-gap and satellite features which scale similarly in energy versus…

A novel interplay between d-wave superconducting order parameter symmetry and the underlying Cu 3d orbital based electronic structure of Copper-Oxides leads to a striking anisotropy in the superfluid response of these systems. In clean…

A simple model of cuprate superconductivity with an electron spectrum prepared by doping is developed. The pair-transfer interaction couples the itinerant band with two components ("hot'' and "cold'') of the defect subsystem. There are…

We report on infrared studies of charge dynamics in a prototypical pnictide system: the BaFe2As2 family. Our experiments have identified hallmarks of the pseudogap state in the BaFe2As2 system that mirror the spectroscopic manifestations of…

Scanning tunneling spectroscopy applied to the high-$T_{c}$ cuprates has revealed significant spatial inhomogeneity on the nanoscale. Regions on the order of a coherence length in size show variations of the magnitude of the superconducting…
