The Fermi surface is a central concept in the theory of metals. Even though the optimally doped high temperature superconductors exhibit an anomalous normal state, angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) has revealed a large Fermi…
We have analyzed various characteristic temperatures and energies of hole-doped high-Tc cuprates as a function of a dimensionless hole-doping concentration (pu). Entirely based on the experimental grounds we construct a unified electronic…
We study the electronic structure and superconductivity in CuO$_2$ monolayer grown recently on $d$-wave cuprate superconductor Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+\delta}$. Density functional theory calculations indicate significant charge transfer…
Identifying the key factors controlling the magnitude of $T_c$ is of critical importance in the pursuit of high-temperature superconductivity. In cuprates, $T_c$ reaches its maximal value in trilayer structure, leading to the belief that…
Many years of intense research on cuprate superconductors have led to several discoveries, such as the pseudogap and charge density waves (CDW), yet a complete theory is still lacking. By analyzing some experiments and performing…
Understanding the physical and chemical processes at the interface of metals and topological insulators is crucial for developing the next generation of topological quantum devices. Here we report the discovery of robust superconductivity…
Single-particle spectroscopic probes, such as scanning tunneling and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), have provided us with crucial insights into the complex electronic structure of the high-Tc cuprates, in particular for…
We compare the Tcs found in different families of optimally-doped High-Tc cuprates and find, contrary generally accepted lore, that pairing is not exclusively in the CuO2 layers. Evidence for additional pairing interactions, that take place…
Superconductivity in the cuprates, discovered in the late 1980s and occurring at unprecedentedly high temperatures (up to about 140K) in about thirty chemically distinct families, continues to be a major problem in physics. In this article,…
The cuprate superconductors display several characteristic temperatures which decrease as the material composition is doped, tracing lines across the temperature-doping phase diagram. Foremost among these is the pseudogap transition. At a…
The origin of the exceptionally strong superconductivity of cuprates remains a subject of debate after more than two decades of investigation. Here we follow a new lead: The onset temperature for superconductivity scales with the strength…
The electronic structure of the high-T_c superconductor Tl2Ba2CuO6+d is studied by ARPES. For a very overdoped Tc=30K sample, the Fermi surface consists of a single large hole pocket centered at (pi,pi) and is approaching a topological…
The segregation of oxygen in the high critical temperature cuprate superconductor $La_2CuO_{4+y}$ has been systematically studied along the years. In a recent set of experiments, Poccia et al related, for the first time, time ordering ($t$)…
The superconducting diode effect (SDE) is defined by the difference in the magnitude of critical currents applied in opposite directions. It has been observed in various superconducting systems and attracted high research interests.…
Angle resolved photoemission experiments by Kanigel, et al (cond-mat/0605499) [Nature Physics 2, 447 (2006)] have made a remarkable observation that low energy electronic excitations in the normal state of underdoped cuprate superconductors…
The actual physical origin of the gap at the antinodes, and a clear identification of the superconducting gap are fundamental open issues in the physics of high-$T_c$ superconductors. Here, we present a systematic electronic Raman…
A remarkable mystery of the copper oxide high-transition-temperature (Tc) superconductors is the dependence of Tc on the number of CuO2 layers, n, in the unit cell of a crystal. In a given family of these superconductors, Tc rises with the…
We investigate the effect of disorder at various lattice sites outside the CuO$_2$ plane on the superconducting critical temperature $T_c$ of the cuprate superconductor Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+\delta}$ (Bi2212). The most effective…
To show an optimization method of element substitution for cuprate superconductors, we investigate Fermi surface shape of TlR2A2Cu3O9 with R=La, Y, and A=Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs. We adopt the generalized gradient approximation in the…
Thermoelectric materials (TMs) can uniquely convert waste heat into electricity, which provides a potential solution for the global energy crisis that is increasingly severe. Bulk Cu2Se, with ionic conductivity of Cu ions, exhibits a…
