We investigate the spatial and doping evolutions of the superconducting properties of tri-layer cuprate Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10+x by using scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. Both the superconducting coherence peak and gap size exhibit periodic variations with the structural supermodulation, but the effect is much more pronounced in the underdoped regime than at optimal doping. Moreover, a new type of tunneling spectrum characterized by two superconducting gaps emerges with increasing doping, and the two-gap features also correlate with the supermodulation. We propose that the interaction between the inequivalent outer and inner CuO2 planes is responsible for these novel features that are unique to tri-layer cuprates.

Electron-doped and hole-doped superconducting cuprates exhibit a symmetric phase diagram as a function of doping. This symmetry is however only approximate. Indeed, electron-doped cuprates become superconductors only after a specific annealing proces
s: This annealing affects the oxygen content only by a tiny amount, but has a dramatic impact on the electronic properties of the sample. Here, we report the occurrence of superconductivity in oxygen-deficient Nd$_{2-x}$Ce$_x$CuO$_4$ thin films grown in oxygen-free environment, after annealing in pure argon flow. As verified by x-ray diffraction, annealing induces an increase of the interlayer distance between CuO$_2$ planes in the crystal structure. Since this distance is correlated to the concentration of oxygens in apical positions, and since oxygen content cannot substantially increase during annealing, our experiments indicate that the superconducting phase transition has to be ascribed to a migration of oxygen ions to apical positions during annealing. Moreover, as we confirm via first-principles density functional theory calculations, the changes in the structural and transport properties of the films can be theoretically described by a specific redistribution of the existing oxygens ions at apical positions with respect to CuO$_2$ planes, which remodulates the electronic band structure and suppresses the antiferromagnetic order, allowing the emergence of hole superconductivity.
We use scanning tunneling microscopy to investigate Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10+{delta} trilayer cuprates from the optimally doped to overdoped regime. We find that the two distinct superconducting gaps from the inner and outer CuO2 planes both decrease rapidly
with doping, in sharp contrast to the nearly constant Tc. Spectroscopic imaging reveals the absence of quasiparticle interference in the antinodal region of overdoped samples, showing an opposite trend to that in single- and double-layer compounds. We propose that the existence of two types of inequivalent CuO2 planes and the intricate interaction between them are responsible for these highly anomalous observations in trilayer cuprates.
The effects of pressure up to $sim 20$ kbar, on the structural phase transition of SrFe$_2$As$_2$ and lightly Sn-doped BaFe$_2$As$_2$, as well as on the superconducting transition temperature and upper critical field of (Ba$_{0.55}$K$_{0.45}$)Fe$_2$A
s$_2$ single crystals have been studied. All the transition temperatures decrease with pressure in an almost linear fashion. Under pressure, the upper critical field curve, $H_{c2}(T)$, for (Ba$_{0.55}$K$_{0.45}$)Fe$_2$As$_2$ shifts down in temperature to follow the zero field $T_c$ with very little change in slope. Composite $P - T$ phase diagrams for three parent compounds, AFe$_2$As$_2$ (A = Ba, Sr, Ca), are constructed and appear to be remarkably similar: (i) having a structural (antiferromagnetic) phase transition line with a negative slope and (ii) showing signs of the emerging superconducting state at intermediate pressures.
We investigate superconductivity and transport properties of Co doped SmFe$_{1-x}$Co$_{x}$AsO system. The antiferromagnetic (AFM) spin-density wave (SDW) order is rapidly suppressed by Co doping, and superconductivity emerges as $x$ $geq$ 0.05. $T_c$
$^{mid}$ increases with increasing Co content, shows a maximum of 17.2 K at the optimally doping of $xsim$ 0.10. A phase diagram is derived based on the transport measurements and a dome-like $T_c$ versus $x$ curve is established. Meanwhile we found that the normal state thermopower might consist of two different contributions. One contribution increases gradually with increasing $x$, and the other contribution is abnormally enhanced in the superconducting window 0.05 $leq$ $x$ $leq$ 0.20, and shows a dome-like doping dependence. A close correlation between $T_{c}$ and the abnormally enhanced term of thermopower is proposed.
Many cuprate superconductors possess an unusual charge-ordered phase that is characterized by an approximate $d_{x^2-y^2}$ intra-unit cell form factor and a finite modulation wavevector $bq^ast$. We study the effects impurities on this charge ordered
phase via a single-band model in which bond order is the analogue of charge order in the cuprates. Impurities are assumed to be pointlike and are treated within the self-consistent t-matrix approximation (SCTMA). We show that suppression of bond order by impurities occurs through the local disruption of the $d_{x^2-y^2}$ form factor near individual impurities. Unlike $d$-wave superconductors, where the sensitivity of $T_c$ to impurities can be traced to a vanishing average of the $d_{x^2-y^2}$ order parameter over the Fermi surface, the response of bond order to impurities is dictated by a few Fermi surface hotspots. The bond order transition temperature $T_mathrm{bo}$ thus follows a different universal dependence on impurity concentration $n_i$ than does the superconducting $T_c$. In particular, $T_mathrm{bo}$ decreases more rapidly than $T_c$ with increasing $n_i$ when there is a nonzero Fermi surface curvature at the hotspots. Based on experimental evidence that the pseudogap is insensitive to Zn doping, we conclude that a direct connection between charge order and the pseudogap is unlikely. Furthermore, the enhancement of stripe correlations in the La-based cuprates by Zn doping is evidence that this charge order is also distinct from stripes.
