We report on muon spin rotation measurements of the internal magnetic field distribution n(B) in the vortex solid phase of YBa2Cu3Oy (YBCO) single crystals, from which we have simultaneously determined the hole doping dependences of the in-plane Ginzburg-Landau (GL) length scales in the underdoped regime. We find that Tc has a sublinear dependence on 1/lambda_{ab}^2, where lambda_{ab} is the in-plane magnetic penetration depth in the extrapolated limits T -> 0 and H -> 0. The power coefficient of the sublinear dependence is close to that determined in severely underdoped YBCO thin films, indicating that the same relationship between Tc and the superfluid density is maintained throughout the underdoped regime. The in-plane GL coherence length (vortex core size) is found to increase with decreasing hole doping concentration, and exhibit a field dependence that is explained by proximity-induced superconductivity on the CuO chains. Both the magnetic penetration depth and the vortex core size are enhanced near 1/8 hole doping, supporting the belief by some that stripe correlations are a universal property of high-Tc cuprates.

We report measurements of AC susceptibility and hence the in-plane London penetration depth on the same samples of Bi:2212 and Bi(Y):2212 for many values of the planar hole concentration/CuO2 unit (p). These support the scenario in which the pseudoga p weakens the superconducting response only for p less than approximately 0.19.
Muon-spin rotation spectroscopy has been used to measure the internal magnetic field distribution in NbSe2 for Hc1 << H < 0.25 Hc2. The deduced profiles of the supercurrent density indicate that the vortex-core radius in the bulk decreases sharply wi th increasing magnetic field. This effect, which is attributed to increased vortex-vortex interactions, does not agree with the dirty-limit microscopic theory. A simple phenomenological equation in which the core radius depends on the intervortex spacing is used to model this behaviour. In addition, we find for the first time that the in-plane magnetic penetration depth increases linearly with H in the vortex state of a conventional superconductor.
Understanding high-temperature superconductivity requires a prior knowledge of the nature of the enigmatic pseudogap metallic state, out of which the superconducting state condenses. In addition to the electronic orders involving charge degrees of fr eedoms recently reported inside the pseudogap state, a magnetic intra-unit-cell (IUC) order was discovered in various cuprates to set in just at the pseudogap temperature, T*. In nearly optimally doped YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6.85}$, polarized neutron scattering measurements, carried out on two different spectrometers, reveal new features. The order is made of finite size planar domains, hardly correlated along the c-axis. At high temperature, only the out-of-plane magnetic components correlate, revealing a strong Ising anistropy, as originally predicted in the loop current model. Below T*, a correlated in-plane response develops, giving rise the apparent tilt of the magnetic moment at low temperature. The discovery of these two regimes put stringent constraints on the intrinsict nature of IUC order, tightly bound to the pseudogap physics.

By using solid state reaction method we have fabricated the hole doped $La_{1-x}Sr_xFeAsO$ superconductors with Sr content up to 0.13. It is found that the sharp anomaly at about 150 K and the low temperature upturn of resistivity are suppressed by d oping holes into the parent phase. Interestingly both the superconducting transition temperature $T_c$ and the lattice constants (a-axis and c-axis) increase monotonously with hole concentration, in sharp contrast with the electron doped side where the $T_c$ increases with a continuing shrinkage of the lattice constants either by dope more fluorine or oxygen vacancies into the system. Our data clearly illustrate that the superconductivity can be induced by doping holes via substituting the trivalent La with divalent Sr in the LaFeAsO system with single FeAs layer, and the $T_c$ in the present system exhibits a symmetric behavior at the electron and hole doped sides, as we reported previously.
We investigate signatures of electronic correlations in the narrow-gap semiconductor FeGa$_3$ by means of electrical resistivity and thermodynamic measurements performed on single crystals of FeGa$_3$, Fe$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$Ga$_3$ and FeGa$_{3-y}$Zn$_y$, c omplemented by a study of the 4$d$ analog material RuGa$_3$. We find that the inclusion of sizable amounts of Mn and Zn dopants into FeGa$_3$ does not induce an insulator-to-metal transition. Our study indicates that both substitution of Zn onto the Ga site and replacement of Fe by Mn introduces states into the semiconducting gap that remain localized even at highest doping levels. Most importantly, using neutron powder diffraction measurements, we establish that FeGa$_3$ orders magnetically above room temperature in a complex structure, which is almost unaffected by the doping with Mn and Zn. Using realistic many-body calculations within the framework of dynamical mean field theory (DMFT), we argue that while the iron atoms in FeGa$_3$ are dominantly in an $S=1$ state, there are strong charge and spin fluctuations on short time scales, which are independent of temperature. Further, the low magnitude of local contributions to the spin susceptibility advocates an itinerant mechanism for the spin response in FeGa$_3$. Our joint experimental and theoretical investigations classify FeGa$_3$ as a correlated band insulator with only small dynamical correlation effects, in which non--local exchange interactions are responsible for the spin gap of 0.4 eV and the antiferromagnetic order. We show that hole doping of FeGa$_3$ leads, within DMFT, to a notable strengthening of many--body renormalizations.
