We investigated SrFe$mathrm{_2}$(As$mathrm{_{1-x}}$P$mathrm{_x}$)$mathrm{_2}$ single crystals with four different phosphorus concentrations x in the superconducting phase (x = 0.35, 0.46) and in the magnetic phase (x = 0, 0.2). The superconducting samples display a V-shaped superconducting gap, which suggests nodal superconductivity. Furthermore we determined the superconducting coherence length by measuring the spatially resolved superconducting density of states (DOS). Using inelastic tunneling spectroscopy we investigated excitations in the samples with four different phosphorus concentrations. Inelastic peaks are related to bosonic modes. Phonon and non-phonon mechanism for the origin of these peaks are discussed.

We report comprehensive temperature and doping-dependences of the Raman scattering spectra for $mathrm{BaFe_{2}}(mathrm{As}_{1-x}mathrm{P}_{x}mathrm{)_{2}}$ ($x =$ 0, 0.07, 0.24, 0.32, and 0.38), focusing on the nematic fluctuation and the supercondu cting responses. With increasing $x$, the bare nematic transition temperature estimated from the Raman spectra reaches $T =$ 0 K at the optimal doping, which indicates a quantum critical point (QCP) at this composition. In the superconducting compositions, in addition to the pair breaking peaks observed in the $A_{mathrm{1g}}$ and $B_{mathrm{1g}}$ spectra, another strong $B_{mathrm{1g}}$ peak appears below the superconducting transition temperature which is ascribed to the nematic resonance peak. The observation of this peak indicates significant nematic correlations in the superconducting state near the QCP in this compound.
Using Scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS), we report the correlation between spatial gap inhomogeneity and the zinc (Zn) impurity resonance in single crystals of Bi$_{mathrm{2}}$Sr$_{mathrm{2}}$Ca(Cu$_{mathrm{1-}x}$Zn$_{x}$)$_{mathrm{2}}$O$_{mathrm {8+}delta}$ with different carrier (hole) concentrations ($p$) at a fixed Zn concentration ($x$ $sim$ 0.5 % per Cu atom). In all the samples, the impurity resonance lies only in the region where the gap value is less than $sim$ 60 meV. Also the number of Zn resonance sites drastically decreases with decreasing $p$, in spite of the fixed $x$. These experimental results lead us to a conclusion that the Zn impurity resonance does not appear in the large gap region although the Zn impurity evidently resides in this region.
The iron-based superconductors are characterized by strong fluctuations due to high transition temperatures and small coherence lengths. We investigate fluctuation behavior in the magnetic iron-pnictide superconductor $mathrm{Rb}mathrm{Eu}mathrm{Fe}_ {4}mathrm{As}_{4}$ by calorimetry and transport. We find that the broadening of the specific-heat transition in magnetic fields is very well described by the lowest-Landau-level scaling. We report calorimetric and transport observations for vortex-lattice melting, which is seen as a sharp drop of the resistivity and a step of the specific heat at the magnetic-field-dependent temperature. The melting line in the temperature/magnetic-field plane lies noticeably below the upper-critical-field line and its location is in quantitative agreement with theoretical predictions without fitting parameters. Finally, we compare the melting behavior of $mathrm{Rb}mathrm{Eu}mathrm{Fe}_{4}mathrm{As}_{4}$ with other superconducting materials showing that thermal fluctuations of vortices are not as prevalent as in the high-temperature superconducting cuprates, yet they still noticeably influence the properties of the vortex matter.
A recent inelastic neutron scattering experiment on $mathrm{Yb}_2 mathrm{Ti}_2 mathrm{O}_7$ uncovers an unusual scattering continuum in the spin excitation spectrum despite the splayed ferromagnetic order in the ground state. While there exist well d efined spin wave excitations at high magnetic fields, the one magnon modes and the two magnon continuum start to strongly overlap upon decreasing the field, and eventually they become the scattering continuum at zero field. Motivated by these observations, we investigate the possible emergence of a magnetically ordered ground state with fractionalized excitations in the spin model with the exchange parameters determined from two previous experiments. Using the fermionic parton mean field theory, we show that the magnetically ordered state with fractionalized excitations can arise as a stable mean field ground state in the presence of sufficiently strong quantum fluctuations. The spin excitation spectrum in such a ground state is computed and shown to have the scattering continuum. Upon increasing the magnetic field, the fractionalized magnetically ordered state is suppressed, and is eventually replaced by the conventional magnetically ordered phase at high fields, which is consistent with the experimental data. We discuss further implications of these results to the experiments and possible improvements on the theoretical analysis.
