Measurements of the $c$-axis penetration depth $\lambda_c$ in the cuprates reveal a low-temperature $T$ dependence which is inconsistent with simple models of coupling between the CuO$_2$ layers. In this paper, we examine whether a model…

Applying the recently developed spin-charge gauge theory for the pseudogap phase in cuprates, we propose a self-consistent explanation of several peculiar features of the far-infrared in-plane AC conductivity, including a broad peak as a…

We measure and analyze the resistivity of $Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+\delta}$ crystals for different doping $\delta$. We obtain the fraction of carrier $\eta(T,\delta) = n_g/n_{TOT}$ that do not participate to the c-axis conductivity. All the…

To elucidate how the temperature dependence of the resistivity anisotropy of the cuprate superconductors changes with hole doping, both the in-plane and the out-of-plane resistivities (\rho_{ab} and \rho_{c}) are measured in a series of…

From analysis of the in-plane resistivity $\rho_{ab}(T)$ of La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$, we show that normal state transport in overdoped cuprates can be delineated into two regimes in which the electrical resistivity varies approximately…

The in-plane optical conductivity has been successfully employed to obtain information about the coupling of the charge carriers to the spin degrees of freedom in the high T_c oxides. We investigate how this inelastic scattering affects the…

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…

There is growing evidence that the unconventional spatial inhomogeneities in the doped high-Tc superconductors are accompanied by the pairing of electrons, subsequent quantum phase transitions (QPTs), and condensation in coherent states. We…

Both the in-plane and the out-of-plane resistivities (\rho_{ab} and \rho_{c}) are measured in high-quality La_{2-x}Sr_{x}CuO_{4} (LSCO) single crystals in the lightly- to moderately-doped region, x = 0.01 to 0.10, and the resistivity…

The anisotropy in the temperature dependence of the in-plane and c-axis conductivities of high-T_c cuprates in the superconducting state is shown to be consistent with a strong in-plane momentum dependence of both the quasiparticle…

Nematicity has emerged as a key feature of cuprate superconductors, but its link to other fundamental properties such as superconductivity, charge order and the pseudogap remains unclear. Here we use measurements of transport anisotropy in…

We report magnetoconductivity measurements on YBa_2Cu_3O_x (x=6.25 and 6.36) single crystals. Our main result is that both the in-plane Delta_sigma_ab and out-of-plane Delta_sigma_c magnetoconductivities exhibit the field dependence…

We establish that the cuprate pseudogap plays a crucial role in the $ab$-plane optical conductivity $\sigma(\omega,T)$ for temperatures $T \le T_c$. The pseudogap signatures in $\sigma(\omega,T)$ associated with competing proposals of a…

Coexistence of the "metallic-like" in-plane and the "semiconducting-like" out-of-plane (caxis) dc conductivities ({\sigma}c), generating a huge anisotropy in the underdoped hightemperature cuprate superconductors (HTCS), defies our current…

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…

The anisotropic properties of an optimally doped Nd_{1.85}Ce_{0.15}CuO_{4-\delta} single crystal have been studied both below and above the critical temperature Tc via the resistivity measurement in magnetic field H up to 12 T. By scaling…

In-plane transport properties of nonsuperconducting YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{y} (y = 6.35) are measured using high-quality untwinned single crystals. We find that both the a- and b-axis resistivities show log(1/T) divergence down to 80 mK, and…

The electron-doped cuprates Pr_{2-x}Ce_xCuO_4 and Nd_{2-x}Ce_xCuO_4 have been studied by electronic Raman spectroscopy across the entire region of the superconducting (SC) phase diagram. The SC pairing strength is found to be consistent…

The metallic state of high temperature cuprate superconductors is markedly different from that of textbook metals. The origin of this unconventional state, characterized by unusual and distinct temperature dependences in the transport…

We propose a model and derive analytical expressions for conductivity in heterogeneous fully anisotropic conductors with ellipsoid superconducting inclusions. This model and calculations are useful to analyze the observed temperature…
