We pursue the consequences of a theory in which the resonance peak observed in inelastic neutron scattering (INS) experiments on underdoped and optimally doped YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6+x}$ compounds arises from a spin-wave excitation. We find…
Hole doping into a correlated antiferromagnet leads to topological stripe correlations, involving charge stripes that separate antiferromagnetic spin stripes of opposite phase. Topological spin stripe order causes the spin degrees of…
Scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) studies reveal long-range spatial homogeneity and predominantly $d_{x^2-y^2}$-pairing spectral characteristics in under- and optimally doped $\rm YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$ superconductors, whereas STS on…
Non-zero spin orbit coupling has been reported in several unconventional superconductors due to the absence of inversion symmetry breaking. This contrasts with cuprate superconductors, where such interaction has been neglected for a long…
The doping and energy evolution of the magnetic excitations of the electron-doped cuprate superconductor Pr$_{0.88}$LaCe$_{0.12}$CuO$_{4-\delta}$ in the superconducting state is studied based on the kinetic energy driven superconducting…
Measurements of thermal conductivity versus temperature over a broad range of doping in YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6+x}$ and HgBa$_2$Ca$_{n-1}$Cu$_n$O$_{2n+2+\delta}$ ($n$=1,2,3) suggest that small domains of localized holes develop for hole…
We report electronic Raman scattering measurements on Bi$_2$Sr$_2$(Y$_{1-x}$Ca$_x$)Cu$_2$O$_{8+\delta}$ single crystals at different doping levels. The dependence of the spectra on doping and on incoming photon energy is analyzed for…
We have analyzed the $B_{1g}$ and $B_{2g}$ Raman spectra of electron-doped cuprate superconductors Nd$_{2-x}$Ce$_{x}$CuO$_4$ and Pr$_{2-x}$Ce$_{x}$CuO$_4$ using a weakly coupled two-band model. One of these two bands is centered around…
The distribution of electrons and holes in the CuO$_2$ plane of the high-temperature superconducting cuprates is determined with nuclear magnetic resonance through the quadrupole splittings of $^{17}$O and $^{63}$Cu. Based on new data for…
To understand the link between doping and electronic properties in high temperature superconductors, we report first-principles calculations on the oxygen doping effect for the single layer cuprate HgBa$_2$CuO$_{4+\delta}$. The doping…
The nature of the spin excitations in superconducting cuprates is a key question toward a unified understanding of the cuprate physics from long-range antiferromagnetism to superconductivity. The intense spin excitations up to the…
Recent photoemission experiments on the quasi-one-dimensional Ba-based cuprates suggest that doped holes experience an attractive potential not captured using the simple Hubbard model. This observation has garnered significant attention due…
An unresolved issue concerning cuprate superconductors is whether the distribution of carriers in the CuO(2) plane is uniform or inhomogeneous. Because the carriers comprise a small fraction of the total charge density and may be rapidly…
Superconductivity in copper oxides emerges on doping holes or electrons into their Mott insulating parent compounds. The spin excitations are thought to be the mediating glue for the pairing in superconductivity. Here the momentum and…
In the recent studies of the unconventional physics in cuprate superconductors, one of the central issues is the interplay between charge order and superconductivity. Here the mechanism of the charge-order formation in the electron-doped…
The spin dynamics of high temperature superconductors measured by inelastic neutron scattering is reviewed. The spin susceptibility evolves a lot with increasing doping from the undoped insulating state to the overdoped metallic state. In…
Measurements of thermal conductivity ($\kappa$) versus temperature and doping for several cuprate superconductors are discussed. Suppressed values of the normal-state $\kappa$ and the slope change in $\kappa$ at $T_c$, observed near 1/8…
Identifying quantum critical points (QCPs) and their associated fluctuations may hold the key to unraveling the unusual electronic phenomena observed in cuprate superconductors. Recently, signatures of quantum fluctuations associated with…
Using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, a systematic study is performed of the doping dependence of the chemical potential $\mu$ in two systems of (Bi,Pb)$_2$Sr$_2$Ca$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{10+\delta}$. The doping is varied by changing the O content…
For YBa_2Cu_3O_{6+\delta} and Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_8 superconductors, electronic Raman scattering from high- and low-energy excitations has been studied in relation to the hole doping level, temperature, and energy of the incident photons. For…
