The role of charge order in the phase diagram of high temperature cuprate superconductors has been recently re-emphasized by the experimental discovery of an incipient bi-directional charge density wave (CDW) phase in a class of underdoped cuprates. In a subset of the experiments, the CDW has been found to be accompanied by a d-wave intra-unit-cell form factor, indicating modulation of charge density on the oxygen orbitals sandwiched between neighboring Cu atoms on the CuO planes (the so-called bond-density wave (BDW) phase). Here we take a mean field Q_1=(2pi/3,0) and Q_2=(0,2pi/3) bi-directional BDW phase with a d-wave form factor, which closely resembles the experimentally observed charge ordered states in underdoped cuprates, and calculate the Fermi surface topology and the resulting quasiparticle Nernst coefficient as a function of temperature and doping. We establish that, in the appropriate doping ranges where the low temperature phase (in the absence of superconductivity) is a BDW, the Fermi surface consists of an electron and a hole pocket, resulting in a low temperature negative Nernst coefficient as observed in experiments.

We present the first measurement on Nernst effect in the normal state of odd-parity, spin-triplet superconductor Sr$_{2}$RuO$_{4}$. Below 100 K, the Nernst signal was found to be negative, large, and, as a function of magnetic field, nonlinear. Its m
agnitude increases with the decreasing temperature until reaching a maximum around $T^*$ $approx$ 20 - 25 K, below which it starts to decrease linearly as a function of temperature. The large value of the Nernst signal appears to be related to the multiband nature of the normal state and the nonlinearity to band-dependent magnetic fluctuation in Sr$_{2}$RuO$_{4}$. We argue that the sharp decrease in Nernst signal below $T^*$ is due to the suppression of quasiparticle scattering and the emergence of band-dependent coherence in the normal state. The observation of a sharp kink in the temperature dependent thermopower around $T^*$ and a sharp drop of Hall angle at low temperatures provide additional support to this picture.
Polarized and unpolarized neutron scattering was used to measure the wave vector- and frequency-dependent magnetic fluctuations in the normal state (from the superconducting transition temperature, T_c=35, up to 350 K) of single crystals of La_{1.86}
Sr_{0.14}CuO_4. The peaks which dominate the fluctuations have amplitudes that decrease as T^{-2} and widths that increase in proportion to the thermal energy, k_B T (where k_B is Boltzmanns constant), and energy transfer added in quadrature. The nearly singular fluctuations are consistent with a nearby quantum critical point.
We have studied the influence of disorder induced by electron irradiation on the Nernst effect in optimally and underdoped YBa2Cu3O(7-d) single crystals. The fluctuation regime above T_{c} expands significantly with disorder, indicating that the T_{c
} decrease is partly due to the induced loss of phase coherence. In pure crystals the temperature extension of the Nernst signal is found to be narrow whatever the hole doping, contrary to data reported in the low-T_{c} cuprates families. Our results show that the presence of intrinsic disorder can explain the enhanced range of Nernst signal found in the pseudogap phase of the latter compounds.
We show that the breakdown of time-reversal invariance, confirmed by the recent polar Kerr effect measurements in the cuprates, implies the existence of an anomalous Nernst effect in the pseudogap phase of underdoped cuprate superconductors. Modeling
the time-reversal-breaking ordered state by the chiral d-density-wave state, we find that the magnitude of the Nernst effect can be sizable even at temperatures much higher than the superconducting transition temperature. These results imply that the experimentally found Nernst effect at the pseudogap temperatures may be due to the chiral d-density wave ordered state with broken time-reversal invariance.
The heavy-electron superconductor CeCoIn$_5$ exhibits a puzzling precursor state above its superconducting critical temperature at $T_c$ = 2.3 K. The thermopower and Nernst signal are anomalous. Below 15 K, the entropy current of the electrons underg
oes a steep decrease reaching $sim$0 at $T_c$. Concurrently, the off-diagonal thermoelectric current $alpha_{xy}$ is enhanced. The delicate sensitivity of the zero-entropy state to field implies phase coherence over large distances. The prominent anomalies in the thermoelectric current contrast with the relatively weak effects in the resistivity and magnetization.
