Due to their proximity to an antiferromagnetic phase and to the mysterious pseudogap, underdoped cuprates have attracted great interest in the high Tc community for many years. A central issue concerns the role of quantum and thermal fluctuations of the phase of the superconducting order parameter. The evolution of superfluid density ns with temperature and doping is a powerful probe of this physics. Here, we report superfluid density measurements on underdoped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x (Bi-2212) films at much lower dopings than have been achieved previously, and with excellent control on doping level - Tc ranges from Tc,min ~ 6K to Tc,max ~ 80K in steps of about 5K. Most famous studies on Bi-2212 like angle-resolved photoemission and scanning probe microscopy are surface-sensitive while superfluid density measurements are bulk-sensitive. We find that strong two-dimensional quantum fluctuations are evident in the observed linear scaling of Tc with ns(0) when Tc is below about 45 K, which contrasts with three-dimensional quantum fluctuations evident in the square root scaling, Tc $propto sqrt$ns(0), seen in the much less anisotropic cuprate, YBa2Cu3O7 (YBCO). On the other hand, consistent with YBCO, ns(T) in severely underdoped Bi-2212 loses its strong downward curvature near Tc, becoming quasi-linear without any obvious critical behavior near Tc. We argue that the quasi-linear T dependence arises from thermal phase fluctuations, although the current theory needs modification in order to understand some features.

We report the first direct measurements of superfluid density, ns(T) propto {lambda}-2(T), in films of Fe-pnictide superconductors. The magnetic penetration depth, {lambda}(0), in our epitaxial, single-crystal Ba(CoxFe1-x)2As2 films near optimal dopi
ng (x=0.08) is 350 nm to 430 nm, comparable to bulk single crystals. The T-dependence of {lambda}-2 indicates a small s-wave gap, 2{Delta}(0)/kBTc = 2.2 pm 0.1. In detail, {lambda} has power-law behavior at low T: {lambda}(T)/{lambda}(0) - 1 approx 0.60*(T/Tc)2.5pm0.1. The small gap, together with power-law behavior at low T, suggests strong intraband scattering on the larger-gap Fermi surface and significant interband scattering between large-gap and small-gap Fermi surfaces.
Evidence of two-dimensional (2D) quantum critical fluctuations is observed in the superfluid density ns(T) propto $lambda$ -2(T) of deeply underdoped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x (Bi-2212) films, indicating that quantum fluctuations play a dominant role in underd
oped cuprates in general. 2D fluctuations are expressed by the linear scaling, Tc propto ns(0). 2D scaling in Bi-2212 contrasts with 3D scaling seen in the much less anisotropic YBa2Cu3O7-x. Quantum critical fluctuations could also account for the absence of thermal critical behavior in lambda^{-2}(T) of strongly underdoped Bi-2212 samples, Tc < 48 K.
The cuprates contain a range of nanoscale phenomena that consist of both LDOS(E) features and spatial excitations. Many of these phenomena can only be observed through the use of a SI-STM and their disorder can be mapped out through the fitting of a
phenomenological model to the LDOS(E). We present a study of the nanometer scale disorder of single crystal cryogenically cleaved samples of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x whose dopings range from p = 0.19 to 0.06. The phenomenological model used is the Tripartite model that has been successfully applied to the average LDOS(E) previously. The resulting energy scale maps show a structured patchwork disorder of three energy scales, which can be described by a single underlying disordered parameter. This spatial disorder structure is universal for all dopings and energy scales. It is independent of the oxygen dopant negative energy resonances and the interface between the different patches takes the form of a shortened lifetime pseudogap/superconducting gap state. The relationship between the energy scales and the spatial modulations of the dispersive QPI, static q1* modulation and the pseudogap shows that the energy scales signatures in the LDOS(E) are tied to the onset and termination of the spatial excitations. The static q1* modulations local energy range is measured and its signature in the LDOS(E) is the kink, whose number of states are modulated with a wave vector of q1*. This analysis of both the LDOS(r,E) and the spatial modulations in q-space show a picture of a single underlying disordered parameter that determines both the LDOS(E) structure as well as the energy ranges of the QPI, q1* modulation and the pseudogap states. This parameter for a single patch can be defined by the Fermi surface crossing of the parent compound anti-ferromagnetic zone boundary for a model homogeneous superconductor with the same electronic properties as the patch.
We report Raman measurements on Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+d single crystals which allow us to quantitavely evaluate the doping dependence of the density of Cooper pairs in the superconducting state. We show that the drastic loss of Cooper pairs in the antinodal
region as the doping level is reduced, is concomitant with a deep alteration of the quasiparticles dynamic above Tc and consistent with a pseudogap which competes with superconductivity. Our data also reveal that the overall density of Cooper pairs evolves with doping, distinctly from the superfluid density above the doping level pc=0.2.
We have performed systematic angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) of iron-chalcogenide superconductor FeTe1-xSex to elucidate the electronic states relevant to the superconductivity. While the Fermi-surface shape is nearly independent of
x, we found that the ARPES spectral line shape shows prominent x dependence. A broad ARPES spectrum characterized by a small quasiparticle weight at x = 0, indicative of incoherent electronic states, becomes progressively sharper with increasing x, and a well-defined quasiparticle peak appears around x = 0.45 where bulk superconductivity is realized. The present result suggests the evolution from incoherent to coherent electronic states and its close relationship to the emergence of superconductivity.
