Using neutron scattering we have determined the magnetic structure and fluctuations in the YBa2Cu3O6.35 superconductor (Tc=18 K). The long-range ordered collinear spins of the insulating antiferromagnet are replaced by a commensurate central mode arising from slow, isotropically polarized, short-range spin correlations. The inelastic spectrum up to 30 meV is broad in wave vector and commensurate. In contrast to the the resonance peak of higher Tc superconductors, the spins exhibit a single overdamped spectrum whose rate of relaxation decreases on cooling and saturates at 5 meV below 50 K. As the relaxation rate saturates the quasi-static spin correlations grow and become resolution limited in energy. The spin susceptibility at high temperatures illustrates that the dominant energy scale is set by the temperature. At low temperatures, the scale length is geometric and not linked by velocity to dynamic widths. There is no observable suppression of the spin fluctuations or central mode upon the onset of superconductivity. The spins respond not to coherent charge pairs but to hole doping allowing coexistence of glassy short range spin order with superconductivity. Since the physics of the weakly superconducting system YBCO6.35 must connect continuously with that in more strongly superconducting YBCO6.5, we find that neither incommensurate stripe-like spin modulations nor a well-defined neutron spin resonance are essential for the onset with doping of pairing in a high temperature cuprate superconductor.

The magnetic spectrum at high-energies in heavily underdoped YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{6.35}$ (T$_{c}$=18 K) has been determined throughout the Brillouin zone. At low-energy the scattering forms a cone of spin excitations emanating from the antiferromagne
tic (0.5, 0.5) wave vector with an acoustic velocity similar to that of insulating cuprates. At high energy transfers, below the maximum energy of 270 meV at (0.5, 0), we observe zone boundary dispersion much larger and spectral weight loss more extensive than in insulating antiferromagnets. Moreover we report phenomena not found in insulators, an overall lowering of the zone-boundary energies and a large damping of $sim$ 100 meV of the spin excitations at high-energies. The energy above which the damping occurs coincides approximately with the gap determined from transport measurements. We propose that as the energy is raised the spin excitations encounter an extra channel of decay into particle-hole pairs of a continuum that we associate with the pseudogap.
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.
Larkin and Ovchinnikov established that the viscous flow of magnetic flux quanta in current-biased superconductor films placed in a perpendicular magnetic field can lose stability due to a decrease in the vortex viscosity coefficient $eta$ with incre
asing velocity of the vortices $v$. The dependence of $eta$ on $v$ leads to a $nonlinear$ section in the current-voltage ($I$-$V$) curve which ends at the flux-flow instability point with a voltage jump to a highly resistive state. At the same time, in contradistinction with the nonlinear conductivity regime, instability jumps often occur in $linear$ $I$-$V$ sections. Here, for the elucidation of such jumps we develop a theory of local instability of the magnetic flux flow occurring not in the entire film but in a narrow strip across the film width in which vortices move much faster than outside it. The predictions of the developed theory are in agreement with experiments on Nb films for which the heat removal coefficients and the inelastic scattering times of quasiparticles are deduced. The presented model of local instability is also relevant for the characterization of superconducting thin films whose performance is examined for fast single-photon detection.
We have mapped the neutron scattering spin spectrum at low-energies in YBa2Cu3O6.353 (Tc=18 K) where the doping ~0.06 is near the critical value (pc=0.055) for superconductivity. No coexistence with long range ordered antiferromagnetism is found. The
spins fluctuate on two energy scales, one a damped spin response with a ~2 meV relaxation rate and the other a central mode with a relaxation rate that slows to less than 0.08 meV below Tc. The spectrum mirrors that of a soft mode driving a central mode. Extremely short correlation lengths, 42+-5 Angstrom in-plane and 8+-2 Angstrom along the c direction, and isotropic spin orientations for the central mode indicate that the correlations are subcritical with respect to any second order transition to Neel order. The dynamics follows a model where damped spin fluctuations are coupled to the slow fluctuations of regions with correlations shortened by the hole doping.
To explore the doping dependence of the recently discovered charge density wave (CDW) order in YBa2Cu3Oy, we present a bulk-sensitive high-energy x-ray study for several oxygen concentrations, including strongly underdoped YBa2Cu3O6.44. Combined with
previous data around the so-called 1/8 doping, we show that bulk CDW order exists at least for hole concentrations (p) in the CuO2 planes of 0.078 <~ p <~ 0.132. This implies that CDW order exists in close vicinity to the quantum critical point for spin density wave (SDW) order. In contrast to the pseudogap temperature T*, the onset temperature of CDW order decreases with underdoping to T_CDW ~ 90K in YBa2Cu3O6.44. Together with a weakened order parameter this suggests a competition between CDW and SDW orders. In addition, the CDW order in YBa2Cu3O6.44 shows the same type of competition with superconductivity as a function of temperature and magnetic field as samples closer to p = 1/8. At low p the CDW incommensurability continues the previously reported linear increasing trend with underdoping. In the entire doping range the in-plane correlation length of the CDW order in b-axis direction depends only very weakly on the hole concentration, and appears independent of the type and correlation length of the oxygen-chain order. The onset temperature of the CDW order is remarkably close to a temperature T^dagger that marks the maximum of 1/(T_1T) in planar 63^Cu NQR/NMR experiments, potentially indicating a response of the spin dynamics to the formation of the CDW. Our discussion of these findings includes a detailed comparison to the charge stripe order in La2-xBaxCuO4.
