We report microwave surface impedances of FeSe$_{0.4}$Te$_{0.6}$ single crystals measured at 12, 19, and 44 GHz. The penetration depth exhibits a power law behavior, $delta lambda_L=lambda_L (T)-lambda_L (0) propto CT^n$ with an exponent $nsimeq 2$, which is considered to result from impurity scattering. This behavior is consistent with $spm$-wave pairing symmetry. The temperature dependence of the superfluid density largely deviates from the behavior expected in the BCS theory. We believe that this deviation is caused by the crossover from the dirty regime near $T_c$ to the clean regime at low temperatures, which is supported by the rapid increase of the quasiparticle scattering time obtained from the microwave conductivity. We also believe that the previously published data of the superfluid density can be interpreted in this scenario.

We have studied the upper critical field, Bc2, in poly-crystalline MgB2 samples in which disorder was varied in a controlled way to carry selectively p and s bands from clean to dirty limit. We have found that the clean regime survives when p bands are dirty and s bands are midway between clean and dirty. In this framework we can explain the anomalous behaviour of Al doped samples, in which Bc2 decreases as doping increases.
FeSe$_{x}$Te$_{1-x}$ compounds present a complex phase diagram, ranging from the nematicity of FeSe to the $(pi, pi)$ magnetism of FeTe. We focus on FeSe$_{0.4}$Te$_{0.6}$, where the nematic ordering is absent at equilibrium. We use a time-resolved approach based on femtosecond light pulses to study the dynamics following photoexcitation in this system. The use of polarization-dependent time- and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy allows us to reveal a photoinduced nematic metastable state, whose stabilization cannot be interpreted in terms of an effective photodoping. We argue that the 1.55 eV photon-energy-pump-pulse perturbs the $C_4$ symmetry of the system triggering the realization of the nematic state. The possibility to induce nematicity using an ultra-short pulse sheds a new light on the driving force behind the nematic symmetry breaking in iron-based superconductors. Our results weaken the idea that a low-energy coupling with fluctuations is a necessary condition to stabilize the nematic order and ascribe the origin of the nematic order in iron-based superconductors to a clear tendency of those systems towards orbital differentiation due to strong electronic correlations induced by the Hunds coupling.
There is a hot debate on the anomalous behavior of superfluid density $rho_s$ in overdoped La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$ films in recent years. Its linear temperature dependence $rho_s(0)-rho_s(T)propto T$ infers the superconductors are clean, but the zero temperature value $rho_s(0)propto T_c$ is a hallmark of the dirty limit in the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) framework (Bozovic et al., 2016). In this work, we show that the apical oxygen vacancies can lead to an anisotropic scattering rate $Gamma_dcos^2(2theta)$, which can explain the above two linear scalings simultaneously, and thus provides a plausible solution to this clean-dirty paradox. Furthermore, by analyzing the optical conductivity, it may also explain the ``missing Drude weight upon doping as reported in the THz experiment (Mahmood et al., 2019). Therefore, we conclude that the superconducting states of the overdoped cuprates are consistent with the disordered BCS theory.
We measured the microwave surface impedance of FeSe$_{0.4}$Te$_{0.6}$ single crystals with- and without external magnetic fields. The superfluid density exhibited a quadratic temperature dependence, indicating a strong pair-breaking effect. The flux-flow resistivity behaved as $rho_f(Bll B_{rm c2})/rho_n=alpha B/B_{rm c2}$. The observed $alpha$ value of $approx0.66$ was considerably smaller than that of other Fe-based materials ($alphageq1$) and was attributed to a back-flow of superfluids remarkable in disordered superconductors. This is the first-time observation of the back-flow phenomenon caused by an origin other than the vortex pinning in multiple-band systems.
For a noncentrosymmetric superconductor such as CePt3Si, we consider a Cooper pairing model with a two-component order parameter composed of spin-singlet and spin-triplet pairing components. We calculate the superfluid density tensor in the clean limit on the basis of the quasiclassical theory of superconductivity. We demonstrate that such a pairing model accounts for an experimentally observed feature of the temperature dependence of the London penetration depth in CePt3Si, i.e., line-node-gap behavior at low temperatures.
