Absolute resistivity measurements as a function of temperature from optimally doped YBa_2Cu_3O_(7), La_(2-x)Sr_xCuO_4, Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_(8-x), and (Ca_0.1La_0.9)(Ba_1.65La_0.35)Cu_3O_y thin films are reported. Special attention is given to the measurement geometrical factors and the resistivity slope between Tc and T^{*}. The results are compared with a strong coupling theory for the resistivity derivative near T_c, which is based on hard core bosons (HCB), and with several weak coupling theories, which are BCS based. Surprisingly, our results agree with both paradigms. The implications of these findings and the missing calculations needed to distinguish between the two paradigms are discussed.

We present the numerical solution of the renormalization group (RG) equations derived in Ref. [1], for the problem of superconductivity in the presence of both electron-electron and electron-phonon coupling at zero temperature. We study the instabili
ty of a Fermi liquid to a superconductor and the RG flow of the couplings in presence of retardation effects and the crossover from weak to strong coupling. We show that our numerical results provide an ansatz for the analytic solution of the problem in the asymptotic limits of weak and strong coupling.
From study of the Kosterlitz-Thouless-Berezinskii (KTB) transition in the superfluid density, n_s(T), of ultrathin c-axis oriented YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7-delta} (YBCO) films, we find that interlayer coupling is unexpectedly strong. The KTB transition occu
rs at a high temperature, as if the films were isotropic rather than quasi-two-dimensional. This result agrees with a comparison of the superfluid density of YBCO with Bi_{2}Sr_{2}CaCu_{2}O_{8} and with numerical simulations of Josephson junction arrays, and challenges the thermal phase fluctuation interpretation of critical behavior near T_c in YBCO.
We address what seemed to be a contradiction between the lanthanide series REBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_y$ (RE123) and the charge-compensated series (Ca$_{x}$La$_{1-x}$)(Ba$_{1.75-x}$La$_{0.25+x} $)Cu$_{3}$O$_{y}$ (CLBLCO) regarding the superexchange ($J$) depen
dence of the maximum superconductivity (SC) critical temperature $T_c^{max}(J)$; RE and $x$ are implicit variables. This is done by measuring the N{e}el temperature and the temperature dependence of the magnetic order parameter for RE=Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Dy, Yb, Y, and for Y(BaSr)Cu$_3$O$_y$, at various very light dopings. The doping is determined by thermopower, and the magnetic properties by muon spin rotation. We find that the normalized-temperature dependence of the order parameter is identical for all RE123 in the undoped limit (with the exception of Gd123) implying identical out-of-plane magnetic coupling. The extrapolation of $T_N$ to zero doping suggests that, despite the variations in ionic radii, $J$ varies too weakly in this system to test the relation between SC and magnetism. This stands in contrast to CLBLCO where both $T_c^{max}$ and $T_N^{max}$ vary considerably in the undoped limit, and a positive correlation between the two quantities was observed.
A strong periodic potential generally enhances the short wavelength fluctuations of a superfluid beyond the validity of standard continuum approaches. Here we report some recent results on hard core bosons on finite lattices. We find several interest
ing effects of the periodic potential on the ground state, vortex dynamics, and and Hall conductivity. For example, the Magnus field on a vortex abruptly reverses direction at half filling. A rotating Bose condensate on an optical lattice may allow an experimental test of our results. Insight may also be gained about strongly fluctuating superconductors modelled by charge 2e lattice bosons.
Several decades after the discovery of superconductivity in bismuthates, the strength of their electron-phonon coupling and its evolution with doping remain puzzling. To clarify these issues, polycrystalline hole-doped Ba$_{1-x}$K$_{x}$BiO$_3$ ($0.1
le x le 0.6$) samples were systematically synthesized and their bulk- and microscopic superconducting properties were investigated by means of magnetic susceptibility and muon-spin rotation/relaxation ($mu$SR), respectively. The phase diagram of Ba$_{1-x}$K$_{x}$BiO$_3$ was reliably extended up to $x = 0.6$, which is still found to be a bulk superconductor. The lattice parameter $a$ increases linearly with K-content, implying a homogeneous chemical doping. The low-temperature superfluid density, measured via transverse-field (TF)-$mu$SR, indicates an isotropic fully-gapped superconducting state with zero-temperature gaps $Delta_0/k_mathrm{B}T_c$ = 2.15, 2.10, and 1.75, and magnetic penetration depths $lambda_0$ = 219, 184, and 279 nm for $x$ = 0.3, 0.4, and 0.6, respectively. A change in the superconducting gap, from a nearly ideal BCS value (1.76 $k_mathrm{B}$$T_c$ in the weak coupling case) in the overdoped $x$ = 0.6 region, to much higher values in the optimally-doped case, implies a gradual decrease in electron-phonon coupling with doping.
