We show that in anisotropic superconductors, falling at finite temperature into the 3D-XY- and at zero temperature into the 2D-XY-QSI universality class, the isotope effects on transition temperature, specific heat and magnetic penetration…

It is shown that the translation-invariant bipolaron theory of superconductivity can explain the dependence of the isotope coefficient in high-temperature superconductors on the critical temperature of a superconducting transition: in the…

To provide an understanding of the universal thermodynamic properties of cuprate superconductors, emerging from the empirical correlations and phase diagrams, we analyze them in terms of the scaling theory of finite temperature and quantum…

Anisotropy, thermal and quantum fluctuations and their dependence on dopant concentration appear to be present in all cuprate superconductors, interwoven with the microscopic mechanisms responsible for superconductivity. Here we review…

It is shown that the empirical relations between transition temperature, normal state conductivity linearly extrapolated to the value at the transition temperature, zero temperature penetration depths, etc., as observed in a rich variety of…

The doping and temperature dependence of the thermodynamic properties in cuprate superconductors is studied based on the kinetic energy driven superconducting mechanism. By considering the interplay between the superconducting gap and…

We have studied the oxygen-isotope effect on the superconducting transition temperature $T_{c}$ in overdoped Y$_{1-x}$Ca$_{x}$Ba$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{7-\delta}$ with $x$ = 0.10, 0.20, and 0.25. We find the oxygen-isotope exponent $\alpha_{O}$…

To provide an understanding of the universal properties emerging from the empirical correlations and phase diagrams of cuprate superconductors, we invoke the scaling theory of finite temperature and quantum critical phenomena. The universal…

To elucidate a quantum phase transition (QPT) in Bi_2Sr_{2-x}La_xCuO_{6+\delta}, we measure charge and heat transport properties at very low temperatures and examine the following characteristics for a wide range of doping: normal-state…

We review the empirical scenario emerging from the measured doping dependence of the transition temperature and the anisotropy parameter $% \gamma $ $=\xi _{ab}/\xi_{c}$, defined as the ratio of the correlation lengths parallel and…

We show that various factors can lead to an isotopic dependence of the penetration depth $\delta$. Non-adiabaticity (Jahn-Teller crossing) leads to the isotope effect of the charge carrier concentration $n$ and, consequently, of $\delta$ in…

The weak-coupling quantum phase diagrams of the one-dimensional (1D) Holstein-Hubbard and Peierls-Hubbard models are computed near half-filling, using a multi-step renormalization group technique. If strong enough, the electron-phonon…

High-temperature superconductivity emerges in the CuO$_2$ plane upon doping a Mott insulator. To ascertain the influence of Mott physics plus short-range correlations, we solve a three-band copper-oxide model in the charge-transfer regime…

We report the influence on the superconducting critical temperature $T_c$ in doped SrTiO$_3$ of the substitution of the natural $^{16}$O atoms by the heavier isotope $^{18}$O. We observe that for a wide range of doping this substitution…

Although the isotope effect in superconducting materials is well-documented, changes in the magnetic properties of antiferromagnets due to isotopic substitution are seldom discussed and remain poorly understood. This is perhaps surprising…

We investigate the question whether the unusual doping dependence of the isotope exponent observed in underdoped high-Tc superconductors might be related to another unusual phenomenon observed in these systems: the pseudogap phenomenon.…

We perform a detailed study of temperature, bias and doping dependance of interlayer transport in the layered high temperature superconductor Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+\delta}$. We observe that the shape of interlayer characteristics in…

The impurity effects on the transition temperature Tc and the isotope effect are examined in multiband superconductors with magnetic and nonmagnetic impurities, where the effect of Coulomb repulsion is considered. It is shown that an…

We report on measurements of the low temperature dependence of the magnetic penetration depth lambda_ab in several single crystals of La_2-xSr_xCuO_4, Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_8 and YBa_2Cu_3O_6+x at various doping levels ranging from the under- to…

The superconductor to insulator or metal transition in two dimensions (2D) provides a valuable platform for studying continuous quantum phase transitions (QPTs) and critical phenomena. Distinct theoretical models, including both fermionic…
