The low-energy quasiparticle excitations in hole- and electron-type cuprate superconductors are investigated via both experimental and theoretical means. It is found that the doping and momentum dependence of the empirical low-energy quasiparticle excitations is consistent with a scenario of coexisting competing orders and superconductivity in the ground state of the cuprates. This finding, based on zero-field quasiparticle spectra, is further corrobarated by the patially resolved vortex-state scanning tunneling spectroscopy, which reveals pseudogap-like features consistent with a remaining competing order inside the vortex core upon the suppression of superconductivity. The competing orders compatible with empirical observations include the charge-density wave and spin-density wave. In contrast, spectral characteristics derived from incorporating the $d$-density wave as a competing order appear unfavorable in comparison with experiments.

Superconductivity is caused by the interaction between electrons by the exchange of collective bosonic excitations, however, this bosonic glue forming electron pairs is manifested itself by the coupling strength of the electrons to collective bosonic
excitations. Here the doping and momentum dependence of the coupling strength of the electrons to spin excitations in cuprate superconductors is studied within the framework of the kinetic-energy-driven superconducting mechanism. The normal self-energy in the particle-hole channel and pairing self-energy in the particle-pariticle channel generated by the interaction between electrons by the exchange of spin excitation are employed to extract the coupling strengths of the electrons to spin excitations in the particle-hole and particle-particle channels, respectively. It is shown that below the superconducting transition temperature, both the coupling strengths in the particle-hole and particle-particle channels around the antinodes consist of two peaks, with a sharp low-energy peak located at around 5 meV in the optimally doped regime, and a broad band with a weak peak centered at around 40 meV. In particular, this two-peak structure in the coupling strength in the particle-hole channel can persist into the normal-state, while as a consequence of the d-wave type symmetry of the superconducting gap, the coupling strength in the particle-particle channel vanishes at the nodes. However, the positions of the peaks in the coupling strengths in the underdoped regime shift towards to higher energies with the increase of doping. More specifically, although the positions of the peaks in the coupling strengths move to lower energies from the antinode to the hot spot on the electron Fermi surface, the weights of the peaks decrease smoothly with the move of the momentum from the antinode to the hot spot, and fade away at the hot spots.
Scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) studies reveal long-range (~100 nm) spatial homogeneity in optimally and underdoped superconducting YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-delta} (YBCO) single crystals and thin films, and macroscopic spatial modulations in overdoped (Y_
{0.7}Ca_{0.3})Ba_2Cu_3O_{7-delta} (Ca-YBCO) epitaxial films. In contrast, STS on an optimally doped YBa_2(Cu_{0.9934}Zn_{0.0026}Mg_{0.004})_3O_{6.9} single crystal exhibits strong spatial modulations and suppression of superconductivity over a microscopic scale near the Zn or Mg impurity sites, and the global pairing potential is also reduced relative to that of optimally doped YBCO, suggesting strong pair-breaking effects of the non-magnetic impurities. The spectral characteristics are consistent with d_{x^2-y^2} pairing symmetry for the optimally and underdoped YBCO, and with (d_{x^2-y^2}+s) for the overdoped Ca-YBCO. The doping-dependent pairing symmetry suggests interesting changes in the superconducting ground state, and is consistent with the presence of nodal quasiparticles for all doping levels. The maximum energy gap Delta_d is non-monotonic with the doping level, while the (2Delta_d/k_BT_c) ratio increases with decreasing doping. The similarities and contrasts between the spectra of YBCO and of Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+x} (Bi-2212) are discussed.
We apply a recently-developed low-field technique to inductively measure the critical pair momentum $p_c$ in thin, underdoped films of Y$_{1-x}$Ca$_{x}$Ba$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{7-delta}$ and Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{8+delta}$ reflecting a wide range
of hole doping. We observe that $p_c propto hbar/xi$ scales with $T_c$ and therefore superfluid density $n_s(Trightarrow0)$ in our two-dimensional cuprate films. This relationship was famously predicted by a universal model of the cuprates with a textit{doping-independent} superconducting gap, but has not been observed by high field measurements of the coherence length $xi$ due to field-induced phenomena not included in the theory.
We report the results of a combined muon spin rotation and neutron scattering study on La2-xSrxCuO4 in the vicinity of the so-called 1/8-anomaly. Application of a magnetic field drives the system towards a magnetically ordered spin-density-wave state
, which is fully developed at 1/8 doping. The results are discussed in terms of competition between antiferromagnetic and superconducting order parameters.
We identify a new kind of elementary excitations, spin-rotons, in the doped Mott insulator. They play a central role in deciding the superconducting transition temperature Tc, resulting in a simple Tc formula,Tc=Eg/6, with Eg as the characteristic en
ergy scale of the spin rotons. We show that the degenerate S=1 and S=0 rotons can be probed by neutron scattering and Raman scattering measurements, respectively, in good agreement with the magnetic resonancelike mode and the Raman A1g mode observed in the high-Tc cuprates.
