In the spin-excitation-mediated pairing mechanism for superconductivity, the geometric frustration effects not only the spin configuration but also the superconducting-state properties. Within the framework of the kinetic-energy-driven superconducting mechanism, the doping and temperature dependence of the Meissner effect in triangular-lattice superconductors is investigated. It is shown that the magnetic-field-penetration depth exhibits an exponential temperature dependence due to the absence of the d-wave gap nodes at the Fermi surface. However, in analogy to the dome-like shape of the doping dependence of the superconducting transition temperature, the superfluid density increases with increasing doping in the lower doped regime, and reaches a maximum around the critical doping, then decreases in the higher doped regime.

We measure the local harmonic generation from superconducting thin films at microwave frequencies to investigate the intrinsic nonlinear Meissner effect near Tc in zero magnetic field. Both second and third harmonic generation are measured to identif
y time-reversal symmetry breaking (TRSB) and time-reversal symmetric (TRS) nonlinearities. We perform a systematic doping-dependent study of the nonlinear response and find that the TRS characteristic nonlinearity current density scale follows the doping dependence of the de-pairing critical current density. We also extract a spontaneous TRSB characteristic current density scale that onsets at Tc, grows with decreasing temperature, and systematically decreases in magnitude (at fixed T/Tc) with under-doping. The origin of this current scale could be Josephson circulating currents or the spontaneous magnetization associated with a TRSB order parameter.
We have measured a paramagnetic Meissner effect in Nb-Al2O3-Nb Josephson junction arrays using a scanning SQUID microscope. The arrays exhibit diamagnetism for some cooling fields and paramagnetism for other cooling fields. The measured mean magnetiz
ation is always less than 0.3 flux quantum (in terms of flux per unit cell of the array) for the range of cooling fields investigated. We demonstrate that a new model of magnetic screening, valid for multiply-connected superconductors, reproduces all of the essential features of paramagnetism that we observe and that no exotic mechanism, such as d-wave superconductivity, is needed for paramagnetism.
The study of the electromagnetic response in cuprate superconductors plays a crucial role in the understanding of the essential physics of these materials. Here the doping dependence of the electromagnetic response in cuprate superconductors is studi
ed within the kinetic-energy driven superconducting mechanism. The kernel of the response function is evaluated based on the linear response approximation for a purely transverse vector potential, and can be broken up into its diamagnetic and paramagnetic parts. In particular, this paramagnetic part exactly cancels the corresponding diamagnetic part in the normal-state, and then the Meissner effect is obtained within the entire superconducting phase. Following this kernel of the response function, the electromagnetic response calculation in terms of the specular reflection model qualitatively reproduces many of the striking features observed in the experiments. In particular, the local magnetic-field profile follows an exponential law, while the superfluid density exhibits the nonlinear temperature behavior at the lowest temperatures, followed by the linear temperature dependence extending over the most of the superconducting temperature range. Moreover, the maximal value of the superfluid density occurs at around the critical doping $delta_{rm critical}sim 0.16$, and then decreases in both lower doped and higher doped regimes. The theory also shows that the nonlinear temperature dependence of the superfluid density at the lowest temperatures can be attributed to the nonlocal effects induced by the d-wave gap nodes on the electron Fermi surface.
Superconductivity is caused by the interaction between electrons by the exchange of collective bosonic excitations, however, this bosonic glue forming electron pairs is manifested itself by the coupling strength of the electrons to collective bosonic
excitations. Here the doping and momentum dependence of the coupling strength of the electrons to spin excitations in cuprate superconductors is studied within the framework of the kinetic-energy-driven superconducting mechanism. The normal self-energy in the particle-hole channel and pairing self-energy in the particle-pariticle channel generated by the interaction between electrons by the exchange of spin excitation are employed to extract the coupling strengths of the electrons to spin excitations in the particle-hole and particle-particle channels, respectively. It is shown that below the superconducting transition temperature, both the coupling strengths in the particle-hole and particle-particle channels around the antinodes consist of two peaks, with a sharp low-energy peak located at around 5 meV in the optimally doped regime, and a broad band with a weak peak centered at around 40 meV. In particular, this two-peak structure in the coupling strength in the particle-hole channel can persist into the normal-state, while as a consequence of the d-wave type symmetry of the superconducting gap, the coupling strength in the particle-particle channel vanishes at the nodes. However, the positions of the peaks in the coupling strengths in the underdoped regime shift towards to higher energies with the increase of doping. More specifically, although the positions of the peaks in the coupling strengths move to lower energies from the antinode to the hot spot on the electron Fermi surface, the weights of the peaks decrease smoothly with the move of the momentum from the antinode to the hot spot, and fade away at the hot spots.
Using first principles calculations, we analyze structural and magnetic trends as a function of charge doping and pressure in BaFe$_2$As$_2$, and compare to experimentally established facts. We find that density functional theory, while accurately re
producing the structural and magnetic ordering at ambient pressure, fails to reproduce some structural trends as pressure is increased. Most notably, the Fe-As bondlength which is a gauge of the magnitude of the magnetic moment, $mu$, is rigid in experiment, but soft in calculation, indicating residual local Coulomb interactions. By calculating the magnitude of the magnetic ordering energy, we show that the disruption of magnetic order as a function of pressure or doping can be qualitatively reproduced, but that in calculation, it is achieved through diminishment of $|mu|$, and therefore likely does not reflect the same physics as detected in experiment. We also find that the strength of the stripe order as a function of doping is strongly site-dependent: magnetism decreases monotonically with the number of electrons doped at the Fe site, but increases monotonically with the number of electrons doped at the Ba site. Intra-planar magnetic ordering energy (the difference between checkerboard and stripe orderings) and interplanar coupling both follow a similar trend. We also investigate the evolution of the orthorhombic distortion, $e=(a-b)/(a+b),$ as a function of $mu$, and find that in the regime where experiment finds a linear relationship, our calculations are impossible to converge, indicating that in density functional theory, the transition is first order, signalling anomalously large higher order terms in the Landau functional.
