We study theoretically the chain and in-plane optical conductivities of detwinned YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{y}$. We elaborate that the chain is superconducting for $y>6.67$ while insulating for $y<6.67$ due to the competition between the plane-chain…

The effects of chain disorder on superconductivity in YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta} are discussed within the context of a proximity model. Chain disorder causes both pair-breaking and localization. The hybridization of chain and plane wavefunctions…

We report a comprehensive Cu L$_3$-edge resonant x-ray scattering study of two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) incommensurate charge correlations in single crystals of the underdoped high-temperature superconductor…

We propose that the NMR line shape on the chain Cu in the stoichiometric high-$T_c$ superconductor Ortho-II YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6.5}$ is determined by the magnetization induced on Cu near O vacancies, due to strong magnetic correlations in the…

YBa2Cu3Ox, the first superconductor discovered with Tc higher than 77 K, is among the most complex cuprates having both CuO chains and plains in the structure. YBa2Cu3O7 (YBCO) exhibits slightly overdoped behavior and further doping is…

We describe from advanced first principles calculations the energetics of oxygen doping and its relation to insulator-metal transitions in underdoped YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6+x}$. We find a strong tendency of doping oxygens to order into…

Recently, Matsukawa et al. have discovered a new superconductor Pr_2Ba_4Cu_7O_15-delta in which metallic CuO double chains are responsible for the superconductivity. To investigate the superconductivity, we employ the d-p double chain model…

The charge density wave in the high-temperature superconductor YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-x}$ (YBCO) is now known to have two different ordering tendencies differentiated by their $c$-axis correlations. These correspond to ferro- (F-CDW) and…

The optical properties of single crystals of YBa_2Cu_3O_{6+x} have been examined along the c axis above and below the critical temperature (T_c) for a wide range of oxygen dopings. The temperature dependence of the optically-determined…

The interplay between the quasi 1-dimensional CuO-chains and the 2-dimensional CuO2 planes of YBa2Cu3O6+x (YBCO) has been in focus for a long time. Although the CuO-chains are known to be important as charge reservoirs that enable…

We report on infrared studies of the c-axis electrodynamics of Tl-Ba-Cu-O (Tl-2201) crystals. A sum rule analysis reveals spectral weight shifts that can be interpreted as a kinetic energy change at the superconducting transistion. In…

In underdoped cuprate high $T_{\mathrm{c}}$ superconductors, various local orders and symmetry breaking states, in addition to superconductivity, reside in the CuO$_2$ planes. The confinement of the CuO$_2$ planes can therefore play a…

An intact CuO$_2$ plane is widely believed to be a prerequisite for the high-$T_c$ superconductivity in cuprate superconductors. However, an exception may exist in the superconducting Ba$_2$CuO$_{3+\delta}$ materials where CuO chains play a…

Pulsed NQR at the frequencies of 28-33 MHz has been used to study copper NQR spectra in YBa{2}Cu{3}O{7}, TmBa{2}Cu{3}O{7} and Y{0.9}Pr{0.1}Ba{2}Cu{3}O{7} compounds at temperatures of 4.2-200K. Quantitative analysis of the spectra has shown…

Signatures of strong coupling effects in cuprate high-$T_{c}$ superconductors have been authenticated through a variety of spectroscopic probes. However, the microscopic nature of relevant excitations has not been agreed upon. Here we…

Using high-energy diffraction we show that a 4-unit-cell superstructure, q0=(1/4,0,0), along the shorter Cu-Cu bonds coexists with superconductivity in optimally doped YBCO. A complex set of anisotropic atomic displacements on neighboring…

A precursor of superconductivity has been searched in the in-plane optical spectra of underdoped YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_y$, in which the previous $c$-axis optical spectra showed the presence of superconducting carriers at a temperature far above…

We report measurements of the far infrared transmission of superconducting YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-\delta }$ thin films from 5 cm$^{-1}$ to 200 cm$^{-1}$ in fields up to 14$T$. A Kramers-Kronig analysis of the magneto-transmission spectrum…

Experimental results obtained by using x-ray absorption spectroscopy show that the configurations of Cu sites in the CuO2 plane of Bi 2:2:1:2 high Tc superconductors are not homogeneous. Different Cu sites are characterized by short 0.23 nm…

We argue that the results of recent scanning tunneling microscopy, angle-resolved photoemission and infrared spectroscopy experiments on the CuO chains of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6+x}$ are consistently explained within a proximity model by the…
