The cuprates seem to exhibit statistics, dimensionality and phase transitions in novel ways. The nature of excitations [i.e. quasiparticle or collective], spin-charge separation, stripes [static and dynamics], inhomogeneities, psuedogap, effect of impurity dopings [e.g. Zn, Ni] and any other phenomenon in these materials must be consistently understood. In this note we further discuss our original suggestion of using Single Electron Tunneling Transistor [SET] based experiments to understand the role of charge dynamics in these systems. Assuming that SET operates as an efficient charge detection system we can expect to understand the underlying physics of charge transport and charge fluctuations in these materials for a range of doping. Experiments such as these can be classed in a general sense as mesoscopic and nano characterization of cuprates and related materials. In principle such experiments can show if electron is fractionalized in cuprates as indicated by ARPES data. In contrast to flux trapping experiments SET based experiments are more direct in providing evidence about spin-charge separation. In addition a detailed picture of nano charge dynamics in cuprates may be obtained.

Previously we have indicated the relationship between quantum groups [Phys. Lett A272, (2000)] and strings via WZWN models in the context of applications to cuprates and related materials.The connection between quantum groups and strings is one way of seeing the validity of our previous conjecture [i.e. that a theory for cuprates may be constructed on the basis of quantum groups]. The cuprates seems to exhibit statistics, dimensionality and phase transitions in novel ways. The nature of excitations [i.e. quasiparticle or collective] must be understood. The Hubbard model captures some of the behaviour of the phase transitions in these materials. On the other hand the phases such as stripes in these materials bear relationship to quantum group or string-like solutions. One thus expects that the relevant solutions of Hubbard model may thus be written in terms of stringy solutions. In short this approach may lead to the non-perturbative formualtion of Hubbard and other condensed matter Hamiltonians. The question arises that how a 1-d based symmetry such as quantum groups can be relevant in describing a 3-d [spatial dimensions] system such as cuprates. The answer lies in the key observation that strings which are 1-d objects can be used to describe physics in $d$ dimensions. For example gravity [which is a 3-d [spatial] plus time] phenomenon can be understood in terms of 1-d strings. Thus we expect that 1-d quantum group object induces physics in 2-d and 3-d which may be relevant to the cuprates. We present support for our contention using [numerical] variational Monte-Carlo [MC] applied to 2d d-p model. We also briefly discuss others ways to formulate a string picture for cuprates, namely by exploiting connection between gauge theories and strings and tHooft picture of quark confinement.
Resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, neutron scattering and x-ray crystallography measurements were used to study the evolution of magnetic order and crystallographic structure in single-crystal samples of the Ba1-xSrxFe2As2 and Sr1-yCayFe2As2 series. A non-monotonic dependence of the magnetic ordering temperature T0 on chemical pressure is compared to the progression of the antiferromagnetic staggered moment, characteristics of the ordering transition and structural parameters to reveal a distinct relationship between the magnetic energy scale and the tetrahedral bond angle, even far above T0. In Sr1-yCayFe2As2, an abrupt drop in T0 precisely at the Ca concentration where the tetrahedral structure approaches the ideal geometry indicates a strong coupling between the orbital bonding structure and the stabilization of magnetic order, providing strong constraints on the nature of magnetism in the iron-arsenide superconducting parent compounds.
We consider a Cooper pair beam splitter for Iron-Pnictide $S_{+-}$ superconductor and calculate the entangled electron-hole current. We investigate the interplay of various physical parameters such as doping at electron and hole pockets as well as non-zero nesting between the electron and hole pocket. In general we find that the presence of magnetic ordering decreases the beam splitter current by a factor of one hundred in comparison to pure BCS superconductor in two dimensions. For equal size electron-hole pocket and zero nesting we find that the beam-splitter current in general depends non-monotonically on the chemical potentials at electron and hole pockets. For non-zero nesting at a fixed chemical potential the current also varies non-monotonically with nesting vector $|bf q|$. This non-monotonous or oscillatory behavior is attributed to inter-dependency of density of states at hole and electron pocket due to coupling between the electron and hole pockets. Our finding can be useful in experimental determinations or verification of co-existence phase in Iron-Pnictide superconductors and has potential applications in realizing quantum gates or switches.
We present a numerical study of the doping dependence of the spectral function of the n-type cuprates. Using a variational cluster-perturbation theory approach based upon the self-energy-functional theory, the spectral function of the electron-doped two-dimensional Hubbard model is calculated. The model includes the next-nearest neighbor electronic hopping amplitude $t$ and a fixed on-site interaction $U=8t$ at half filling and doping levels ranging from $x=0.077$ to $x=0.20$. Our results support the fact that a comprehensive description of the single-particle spectrum of electron-doped cuprates requires a proper treatment of strong electronic correlations. In contrast to previous weak-coupling approaches, we obtain a consistent description of the ARPES experiments without the need to introduce a doping-dependent on-site interaction $U$.
