We study the critical behavior driven by potential quantum critical points (QCPs) termed as $\tau_{0,x,y,z}$-Type QCPs in the $d$-wave cuprate superconductors. Within the framework of the renormalization group approach, we construct the…

The quasi-skutterudites (Ca$_{x}$Sr$_{1-x}$)$_{3}$(Rh, Ir)$_{4}$Sn$_{13}$ show a rare nonmagnetic quantum critical point associated with the second-order charge-density-wave (CDW) and structural distortion transition extended under the…

The remarkable robustness of high-temperature superconductors against disorder remains a controversial obstacle towards the elucidation of their pairing state. Indeed, experiments report a weak suppression rate of the transition temperature…

Close to a zero temperature transition between ordered and disordered electronic phases, quantum fluctuations can lead to a strong enhancement of the electron mass and to the emergence of competing phases such as superconductivity. A…

The enigmatic scaling behaviour of the normal state properties of the high Tc cuprates has been explained by assuming that a crossover from the two- dimensional Heisenberg (2D-H) to the one-dimensional spin ladder (1D-SL) regime takes place…

One type of order that has been observed to compete with superconductivity in cuprates involves alternating charge and antiferromagnetic stripes. Recent neutron scattering studies indicate that the magnetic excitation spectrum of a…

A critical examination of the spin dynamics in high-$T_C$ cuprates is made on the light of inelastic neutron scattering results obtained by different groups. Recent neutron data show that incommensurate magnetic peaks in YBCO belong to the…

We performed magnetic inelastic neutron-scattering experiments on La(1.93)Sr(0.07)CuO(4) over a wide range of E and T;2 < E < 44 meV and 1.5 < T < 300 K. The dynamic susceptibility X"(q,E) of this underdoped high-Tc superconductor (Tc = 17…

We, basing on the quantum critical point (QCP)($p = 0.19 $), propose a phenomenological description on high-$T_c$ superconductivity in the cuprate superconductors, and suggest it divides the whole doping region into two parts: the…

In superconductors with unconventional pairing mechanisms, the energy gap in the excitation spectrum often has nodes, which allow quasiparticle excitations at low energies. In many cases, e.g. $d$-wave cuprate superconductors, the position…

For both electron- and hole-doped cuprates, superconductivity appears in the vicinity of suppressed broken symmetry order, suggesting that quantum criticality plays a vital role in the physics of these systems. A confounding factor in…

We discuss fluctuating order in a quantum disordered phase proximate to a quantum critical point, with particular emphasis on fluctuating stripe order. Optimal strategies for extracting information concerning such local order from…

In this communication we consider the doping dependence of the strong antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations in the cuprate superconductors. We investigate the effect of an incommensurate magnetic response, as recently observed in inelastic…

In the high temperature cuprate superconductors, the pervasiveness of anomalous electronic transport properties suggests that violation of conventional Fermi liquid behavior is closely tied to superconductivity. In other classes of…

A summary is given of the main outcomes of the quantum-critical-point scenario for high-$T_c$ superconductors, developed in the last few years by the Rome group. Phase separation, which commonly occurs in strongly correlated electronic…

We consider an s-wave superconductor in the vicinity of a second-order ferromagnetic (FM) or spin-density-wave (SDW) quantum critical point (QCP), where the superconductivity and magnetism arise from separate mechanisms. The quantum…

We express the superconducting gap, $\Delta(T)$, in terms of thermodynamic functions in both $s$- and d-wave symmetries. Applying to Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+\delta}$ and Y$_{0.8}$Ca$_{0.2}$Ba$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-\delta}$ we find that for all…

We studied the temperature dependences of the optical spectra for optimally and underdoped Bi$_2$Sr$_2$Ca$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{10+z}$ single crystals. Similarly to the other cuprates' cases, a gap-like conductivity suppression was observed with…

In this work, we carry out a systematic investigation of the coherence peak in unconventional superconductors as they transition into the superconducting phase at $T_c$. Using $d$-wave cuprates as an example, we reveal the presence of a…

We present an experimental review of the nature of the pseudogap in the cuprate superconductors. Evidence from various experimental techniques points to a common phenomenology. The pseudogap is seen in all high temperature superconductors…
