We have measured the heat capacity of YBa2Cu3O6+d for 0.7<d<0.8 between 1.8 and 300K. It was found that doping dependences of specific heat jump and temperature of heat capacity jump contradict to the assumption of spatially homogeneous electronic density. The results suggest that the transition from 60K to 90K phase has a percolative nature and the structure of underdoped 60K phase can be considered as array of superconducting nanoclusters embedded in the insulating matrix.

We study superconducting transition temperature ($T_c$) of oxygen-doped double-layer high-temperature superconductors YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6+delta}$ (0 $le$ $delta$ $le$ 1) as a function of the oxygen dopant concentration ($delta$) and planar hole-doping concentration ($P_{pl}$). We find that $T_c$, while clearly influenced by the development of the chain ordering as seen in the $T_c$ $vs.$ $delta$ plot, lies on a universal curve originating at the critical hole concentration ($P_c$) = 1/16 in the $T_c$ $vs.$ $P_{pl}$ plot. Our analysis suggests that the universal behavior of $T_c$($P_{pl}$) can be understood in terms of the competition and collaboration of chemical-phases and electronic-phases that exist in the system. We conclude that the global superconductivity behavior of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6+delta}$ as a function of doping is electronically driven and dictated by pristine electronic phases at magic doping numbers that follow the hierarchical order based on $P_c$, such as 2 $times$ $P_c$, 3 $times$ $P_c$ and 4 $times$ $P_c$. We find that there are at least two intrinsic electronic superconducting phases of $T_c$ = 60 K at 2 $times$ $P_c$ = 1/8 and $T_c$ = 90 K at 3 $times$ $P_c$ = 3/16.

Vibrational properties of iron-chalcogenide superconductor K$_{0.75}$Fe$_{1.75}$Se$_{2}$ with $T_{c}sim$ 30 K have been measured by Raman and optical spectroscopies over temperature range of 3-300 K. Sample undergoes textit{I4/m} $to $ textit{I4} str uctural phase transition accompanied by loss of inversion symmetry at $T_{1}$, below 250 K, observed as appearance of new fully-symmetric Raman mode at $sim$ 165 cm$^{-1}$. Small vibration mode anomalies are also observed at $T_{2}sim$ 160 K. From first-principles vibrational analysis of antiferromagnetic K$_{0.8}$Fe$_{1.6}$Se$_{2}$ utilizing pseudopotentials all observed Raman and infrared modes have been assigned and the displacement patterns of the new Raman mode identified as involving predominantly the Se atoms.
We present an investigation of the planar direct-current (dc) paraconductivity of the model cuprate material HgBa$_2$CuO$_{4+delta}$ in the underdoped part of the phase diagram. The simple quadratic temperature-dependence of the Fermi-liquid normal-s tate resistivity enables us to extract the paraconductivity above the macroscopic $T_c$ with great accuracy. The paraconductivity exhibits unusual exponential temperature dependence, with a characteristic temperature scale that is distinct from $T_c$. In the entire temperature range where it is discernable, the paraconductivity is quantitatively explained by a simple superconducting percolation model, which implies that underlying gap disorder dominates the emergence of superconductivity.
The nature of the pairing state in iron-based superconductors is the subject of much debate. Here we argue that in one material, the stoichiometric iron pnictide KFe2As2, there is overwhelming evidence for a d-wave pairing state, characterized by sym metry-imposed vertical line nodes in the superconducting gap. This evidence is reviewed, with a focus on thermal conductivity and the strong impact of impurity scattering on the critical temperature Tc. We then compare KFe2As2 to Ba0.6K0.4Fe2As2, obtained by Ba substitution, where the pairing symmetry is s-wave and the Tc is ten times higher. The transition from d-wave to s-wave within the same crystal structure provides a rare opportunity to investigate the connection between band structure and pairing mechanism. We also compare KFe2As2 to the nodal iron-based superconductor LaFePO, for which the pairing symmetry is probably not d-wave, but more likely s-wave with accidental line nodes.

Far and mid infrared optical pulses have been shown to induce non-equilibrium unconventional orders in complex materials, including photo-induced ferroelectricity in quantum paraelectrics, magnetic polarization in antiferromagnets and transient super conducting correlations in the normal state of cuprates and organic conductors. In the case of non-equilibrium superconductivity, femtosecond drives have generally resulted in electronic properties that disappear immediately after excitation, evidencing a state that lacks intrinsic rigidity. Here, we make use of a new optical device to drive metallic K$_3$C$_{60}$ with mid-infrared pulses of tunable duration, ranging between one picosecond and one nanosecond. The same superconducting-like optical properties observed over short time windows for femtosecond excitation are shown here to become metastable under sustained optical driving, with lifetimes in excess of ten nanoseconds. Direct electrical probing becomes possible at these timescales, yielding a vanishingly small resistance. Such a colossal positive photo-conductivity is highly unusual for a metal and, when taken together with the transient optical conductivities, it is rather suggestive of metastable light-induced superconductivity.
