Superconductivity in low-dimensional compounds has long attracted much interest. Here we report superconductivity in a low-dimensional ternary telluride Ta4Pd3Te16 in which the repeating layers contain edge-sharing octahedrally-coordinated PdTe2 chains along the crystallographic b axis. Measurements of electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility and specific heat on the Ta4Pd3Te16 crystals, grown via a self-flux method, consistently demonstrate bulk superconductivity at 4.6 K. Further analyses of the data indicate significant electron-electron interaction, which allows electronic Cooper pairing in the present system.

Superconductivity has recently been discovered in Pr$_{2}$Ba$_{4}$Cu$_{7}$O$_{15-delta}$ with a maximum $T_c$ of about 15K. Since the CuO planes in this material are believed to be insulating, it has been proposed that the superconductivity occurs in the double (or zigzag) CuO chain layer. On phenomenological grounds, we propose a theoretical interpretation of the experimental results in terms of a new phase for the zigzag chain, labelled by C$_1$S$_{3/2}$. This phase has a gap for some of the relative spin and charge modes but no total spin gap, and can have a divergent superconducting susceptibility for repulsive interactions. A microscopic model for the zigzag CuO chain is proposed, and on the basis of density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) and bosonization studies of this model, we adduce evidence that supports our proposal.
We report on the phase diagram for charge-stripe order in La(1.6-x)Nd(0.4)Sr(x)CuO(4), determined by neutron and x-ray scattering studies and resistivity measurements. From an analysis of the in-plane resistivity motivated by recent nuclear-quadrupol e-resonance studies, we conclude that the transition temperature for local charge ordering decreases monotonically with x, and hence that local antiferromagnetic order is uniquely correlated with the anomalous depression of superconductivity at x = 1/8. This result is consistent with theories in which superconductivity depends on the existence of charge-stripe correlations.
The $kappa$-(ET)$_2$X layered conductors (where ET stands for BEDT-TTF) are studied within the dimer model as a function of the diagonal hopping $t^prime$ and Hubbard repulsion $U$. Antiferromagnetism and d-wave superconductivity are investigated at zero temperature using variational cluster perturbation theory (V-CPT). For large $U$, Neel antiferromagnetism exists for $t < t_{c2}$, with $t_{c2}sim 0.9$. For fixed $t$, as $U$ is decreased (or pressure increased), a $d_{x^2-y^2}$ superconducting phase appears. When $U$ is decreased further, the a $d_{xy}$ order takes over. There is a critical value of $t_{c1}sim 0.8$ of $t$ beyond which the AF and dSC phases are separated by Mott disordered phase.

We present magnetic susceptibility and electrical transport measurements of the highly anisotropic compound LaSb$_2$ observing a very broad transition into a clean, consistent with type-I, superconducting state with distinct features of 2 dimensional ity. Application of hydrostatic pressure induces a 2- to 3-dimensional crossover evidenced by a reduced anisotropy and transition width. The superconducting transition appears phase fluctuation limited at ambient pressure with fluctuations observed for temperatures greater than 8 times the superconducting critical temperature.
In order to explore why the multi-layered cuprates have such high Tcs, we have examined various inter-layer processes. Since the inter-layer one-electron hopping has little effects on the band structure, we turn to the inter-layer pair hopping. The s uperconductivity in a double-layer Hubbard model with and without the inter-layer pair hopping, as studied by solving the Eliashberg equation with the fluctuation exchange approximation, reveals that the inter-layer pair hopping acts to increase the pairing interaction and the self-energy simultaneously, but that the former effect supersedes the latter and enhances the superconductivity. The inter-layer pair hopping considered here is for off-site pairs, for which we discuss the effect of retaining SU(2) symmetry, along with how the the sign of the pair hopping determines the relative configuration of d-waves between the adjacent layers.
