Magnetoresistance (MR) in the a-axis resistivity of untwinned YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{y} single crystals is measured for a wide range of doping (y = 6.45 - 7.0). The y-dependence of the in-plane coherence length xi_{ab} estimated from the fluctuation magnetoconductance indicates that the superconductivity is anomalously weakened in the 60-K phase; this gives evidence, together with the Hall coefficient and the a-axis thermopower data that suggest the hole doping to be 12% for y = 6.65, that the origin of the 60-K plateau is the 1/8 anomaly. At high temperatures, the normal-state MR data show signatures of the Zeeman effect on the pseudogap in underdoped samples.

We present the result of our accurate measurements of the a- and b-axis resistivity (rho_a and rho_b), magnetoconductivity (Deltasigma / sigma), Hall coefficient R_H, and the a-axis thermopower S_a in untwinned YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{y} single crystals in a wide range of doping (6.45 < y < 7.0). The systematics of our data reveals a number of novel 60-K-phase anomalies in the charge transport: (i) Temperature dependences of rho_a show anomalous overlap below ~130 K for 6.65 < y < 6.80, (ii) Hall mobility mu_H shows an enhancement near y ~ 6.65, which is reflected in an anomalous y dependence of sigma_{xy}, (iii) With decreasing temperature R_H shows a marked drop upon approaching T_c only in samples with 6.70 < y < 6.85, (iv) Superconducting fluctuation magnetoconductivity is anomalously enhanced near y ~ 6.7, and (v) H_{c2} is anomalously reduced near y ~ 6.70. We discuss that the fluctuating charge stripes might be responsible for these anomalies in the charge transport.
We use a mapping of the multiband Hubbard model for $CuO_{3}$ chains in $RBa_{2}Cu_{3}0_{6+x}$ (R=Y or a rare earth) onto a $t-J$ model and the description of the charge dynamics of the latter in terms pf s spinless model, to study the electronic structure of the chains. We briefly review results for the optical conductivity and we calculate the quantum phase diagram of quarter filled chains including Coulomb repulsion up to that between next-nearest-neighbor $Cu$ atoms $V_{2}$, using the resulting effective Hamiltonian, mapped onto an XXZ chain, and the method of crossing of excitation spectra. The method gives accurate results for the boundaries of the metallic phase in this case. The inclusion of $V_{2}$ greatly enhances the region of metallic behavior of the chains.
We performed a Laser angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) study on a wide doping range of Ba1-xKxFe2As2 (BaK) and precisely determined the doping evolution of the superconducting (SC) gaps in this compound. The gap size of the outer hole Fermi surface (FS) sheet around the Brillioun zone (BZ) center shows an abrupt drop with overdoping (for x > 0.6) while the inner and middle FS gaps roughly scale with Tc. This is accompanied by the simultaneous disappearance of the electron FS sheet with similar orbital character at the BZ corner. These results browse the different contributions of X2-Y2 and XZ/YZ orbitals to superconductivity in BaK and can be hardly completely reproduced by the available theories on iron-based superconductors.
SQUID magnetization measurements in oriented powders of Y$_{1-x}$Ca$_{x}$Ba$% _{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{y}$, with $x$ ranging from 0 to 0.2, for $yapprox 6.1$ and $yapprox 6.97$, have been performed in order to study the doping dependence of the fluctuating diamagnetism above the superconducting transition temperature $T_{c}$. While for optimally doped compounds the diamagnetic susceptibility and the magnetization curves $-M_{fl}(T=const$) vs. $H$ are rather well justified on the basis of an anisotropic Ginzburg-Landau (GL) functional, in underdoped and overdoped regimes an anomalous diamagnetism is observed, with a large enhancement with respect to the GL scenario. Furthermore the shape of magnetization curves differs strongly from the one derived in that scheme. The anomalies are discussed in terms of phase fluctuations of the order parameter in a layered system of vortices and in the assumption of charge inhomogeneities inducing local, non percolating, superconducting regions with $T_{c}^{(loc)}$ higher than the resistive transition temperature $T_{c}$. The susceptibility displays activated temperature behavior, a mark characteristic of the vortex-antivortex description, while history dependent magnetization, with relaxation after zero-field cooling, is consistent with the hypothesis of superconducting droplets in the normal state. Thus the theoretical picture consistently accounts for most experimental findings.
Using high energy resolution angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we have resolved the bilayer splitting effect in a wide range of dopings of the bilayer cuprate $Bi_{2}Sr_{2}CaCu_{2}O_{8+delta}$. This bilayer splitting is due to a nonvanishing intracell coupling $t_{perp}$, and contrary to expectations, it is not reduced in the underdoped materials. This has implications for understanding the increased c-axis confinement in underdoped materials.
