In iron-based superconductors, high critical temperature (Tc) superconductivity over 50 K has only been accomplished in electron-doped hREFeAsO (hRE = heavy rare earth (RE) element). While hREFeAsO has the highest bulk Tc (58 K), progress in understanding its physical properties has been relatively slow due to difficulties in achieving high concentration electron-doping and carrying out neutron-experiments. Here, we present a systematic neutron powder diffraction (NPD) study of 154SmFeAsO1-xDx, and the discovery of a new long-range antiferromagnetic ordering with x >= 0.56 (AFM2) accompanying a structural transition from tetragonal to orthorhombic. Surprisingly, the Fe magnetic moment in AFM2 reaches a magnitude of 2.73 muB/Fe, which is the largest in all non-doped iron pnictides and chalcogenides. Theoretical calculations suggest that the AFM2 phase originates in kinetic frustration of the Fe-3dxy orbital, in which the nearest neighbor hopping parameter becomes zero. The unique phase diagram, i. e., highest-Tc superconducting phase is adjacent to the strongly correlated phase in electron-overdoped regime, yields important clues to the unconventional origins of superconductivity.

The Nernst effect in metals is highly sensitive to two kinds of phase transition: superconductivity and density-wave order. The large positive Nernst signal observed in hole-doped high-Tc superconductors above their transition temperature Tc has so f
ar been attributed to fluctuating superconductivity. Here we show that in some of these materials the large Nernst signal is in fact caused by stripe order, a form of spin / charge modulation which causes a reconstruction of the Fermi surface. In LSCO doped with Nd or Eu, the onset of stripe order causes the Nernst signal to go from small and negative to large and positive, as revealed either by lowering the hole concentration across the quantum critical point in Nd-LSCO, or lowering the temperature across the ordering temperature in Eu-LSCO. In the latter case, two separate peaks are resolved, respectively associated with the onset of stripe order at high temperature and superconductivity near Tc. This sensitivity to Fermi-surface reconstruction makes the Nernst effect a promising probe of broken symmetry in high-Tc superconductors.
From measurements of the ^{63}Cu Knight shift (K) and the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/T_{1}) under magnetic fields from zero up to 28 T in the slightly overdoped superconductor TlSr_{2}CaCu_{2}O_{6.8} (T_{c}=68 K), we find that the pseudo
gap behavior, {em i.e.}, the reductions of 1/T_{1}T and K above T_{c} from the values expected from the normal state at high T, is strongly field dependent and follows a scaling relation. We show that this scaling is consistent with the effects of the Cooper pair density fluctuations. The present finding contrasts sharply with the pseudogap property reported previously in the underdoped regime where no field effect was seen up to 23.2 T. The implications are discussed.
We report the spin Knight shift (K_s) and the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/T_1) in the vortex state as a function of magnetic field (H) up to 28 T in the high-T_c superconductor TlSr_{2}CaCu_2O_{6.8} (T_c=68 K). At low temperatures well be
low T_{c}, both K_s and 1/T_1 measured around the middle point between two nearest vortices (saddle point) increase substantially with increasing field, which indicate that the quasiparticle states with an ungapped spectrum are extended outside the vortex cores in a d-wave superconductor. The density of states (DOS) around the saddle point is found to be kappa N_0sqrt{H/H_{c2}}, with kappa=0.5sim0.7 and N_0 being the normal-state DOS.
It has recently been established that the high temperature (high-Tc) superconducting state coexists with short-range charge-density-wave order and quenched disorder arising from dopants and strain. This complex, multiscale phase separation invites th
e development of theories of high temperature superconductivity that include complexity. The nature of the spatial interplay between charge and dopant order that provides a basis for nanoscale phase separation remains a key open question, because experiments have yet to probe the unknown spatial distribution at both the nanoscale and mescoscale (between atomic and macroscopic scale). Here we report micro X-ray diffraction imaging of the spatial distribution of both the charge-density-wave puddles (domains with only a few wavelengths) and quenched disorder in HgBa2CuO4+y, the single layer cuprate with the highest Tc, 95 kelvin. We found that the charge-density-wave puddles, like the steam bubbles in boiling water, have a fat-tailed size distribution that is typical of self-organization near a critical point. However, the quenched disorder, which arises from oxygen interstitials, has a distribution that is contrary to the usual assumed random, uncorrelated distribution. The interstitials-oxygen-rich domains are spatially anti-correlated with the charge-density-wave domains, leading to a complex emergent geometry of the spatial landscape for superconductivity.
Close to a zero temperature transition between ordered and disordered electronic phases, quantum fluctuations can lead to a strong enhancement of the electron mass and to the emergence of competing phases such as superconductivity. A correlation betw
een the existence of such a quantum phase transition and superconductivity is quite well established in some heavy fermion and iron-based superconductors and there have been suggestions that high temperature superconductivity in the copper oxide materials (cuprates) may also be driven by the same mechanism. Close to optimal doping, where the superconducting transition temperature $T_c$ is maximum in the cuprates, two different phases are known to compete with superconductivity: a poorly understood pseudogap phase and a charge ordered phase. Recent experiments have shown a strong increase in quasiparticle mass $m^*$ in the cuprate YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-delta}$ as optimal doping is approached suggesting that quantum fluctuations of the charge ordered phase may be responsible for the high-$T_c$ superconductivity. We have tested the robustness of this correlation between $m^*$ and $T_c$ by performing quantum oscillation studies on the stoichiometric compound YBa$_2$Cu$_4$O$_8$ under hydrostatic pressure. In contrast to the results for YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-delta}$, we find that in YBa$_2$Cu$_4$O$_8$ the mass decreases as $T_c$ increases under pressure. This inverse correlation between $m^*$ and $T_c$ suggests that quantum fluctuations of the charge order enhance $m^*$ but do not enhance $T_c$.
