A quarter of a century after their discovery the mechanism that pairs carriers in the cuprate high-Tc superconductors (HTS) still remains uncertain. Despite this the general consensus is that it is probably magnetic in origin [1] so that the energy scale for the pairing boson is governed by J, the antiferromagnetic exchange interaction. Recent studies using resonant inelastic X-ray scattering strongly support these ideas [2]. Here as a further test we vary J (as measured by two-magnon Raman scattering) by more than 60% by changing ion sizes in the model HTS system LnA2Cu3O7-{delta} where A=(Ba,Sr) and Ln=(La, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Dy, Yb, Lu). Such changes are often referred to as internal pressure. Surprisingly, we find Tcmax anticorrelates with J where internal pressure is the implicit variable. This is the opposite to the effect of external pressure and suggests that J is not the dominant energy scale governing Tcmax.
The recent observation of quantum oscillations in underdoped high-Tc superconductors, combined with their negative Hall coefficient at low temperature, reveals that the Fermi surface of hole-doped cuprates includes a small electron pocket. This stron
We review recent measurements of the high-frequency dynamic magnetic susceptibility in the high-$T_c$ superconducting systems La$_{2-x}$Sr$_{x}$CuO$_4$ and YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6+x}$. Experiments were performed using the chopper spectrometers HET and MAR
Local antiferromagnetism coexists with superconductivity in the cuprates. Charge segregation provides a way to reconcile these properties. Direct evidence for modulated spin and charge densities has been found in neutron and X-ray scattering studies
We develop a model for high-Tc superconductors based on an electronic phase separation where low-and high-density domains are formed. At low temperatures this system may act as a granular superconductor forming an array of Josephson junctions. Cuprat
We analyze the non-local transport properties of a d-wave superconductor coupled to metallic electrodes at nanoscale distances. We show that the non-local conductance exhibits an algebraical decay with distance rather than the exponential behavior wh
