In superconductors the Anderson-Higgs mechanism allows for the existence of a collective amplitude (Higgs) mode which can couple to light only in a non-linear Raman-like process. While the observed properties of the Higgs mode in conventional, isotropic superconductors can be explained in a mean-field picture, strong interaction effects with other modes in anisotropic d-wave superconductors are likely. Here we calculate the Raman contribution of the Higgs mode from a new perspective, including many-body Higgs oscillations effects and their consequences in steady-state Raman spectroscopy. This solves the long-standing problem of the A1g symmetry Raman spectrum in d-wave superconductors. In order to test our theory, we predict the presence of measurable characteristic oscillations in THz quench-optical probe time-dependent reflectivity experiments.

The Raman response in a superconductor is a powerful probe to investigate the symmetry of the superconducting gap. Here we show that in a multiband superconductor it also offers the unique opportunity to establish if the driving pairing interaction h
as an intraband or interband character. In the model with one hole and one electron band the full gauge-invariant Raman response, obtained by accounting for the fluctuations of both the density and superconducting phase degrees of freedom, is always dominated by the Leggett mode, regardless its nature. However, while in the case of intra-band dominated pairing the Josephson-like phase fluctuations of the two condensates identify a well-defined peak, as observed in MgB$_2$, for dominant interband pairing the Leggett resonance is pushed at twice the largest gap, resembling apparently a pair-breaking peak. The latter case is in very good agreement with experimental data in iron-based superconductors, suggesting that an interband pairing mechanism should be at play in these systems. These results have also interesting implications for the non-linear optical response probed by means of intense THz fields.
In high energy physics, the Higgs field couples to gauge bosons and fermions and gives mass to their elementary excitations. Experimentally, such couplings can be inferred from the decay product of the Higgs boson, i.e. the scalar (amplitude) excitat
ion of the Higgs field. In superconductors, Cooper pairs bear a close analogy to the Higgs field. Interaction between the Cooper pairs and other degrees of freedom provides dissipation channel for the amplitude mode, which may reveal important information about the microscopic pairing mechanism. To this end, we investigate the Higgs (amplitude) mode of several cuprate thin films using phase-resolved terahertz third harmonic generation (THG). In addition to the heavily damped Higgs mode itself, we observe a universal jump in the phase of the driven Higgs oscillation as well as a non-vanishing THG above Tc. These findings indicate coupling of the Higgs mode to other collective modes and potentially a nonzero pairing amplitude above Tc.
Bound quasiparticles, negatively charged trions and neutral excitons, are associated with the direct optical transitions at the K-points of the Brillouin zone for monolayer MoS$_2$. The change in the carrier concentration, surrounding dielectric cons
tant and defect concentration can modulate the photoluminescence and Raman spectra. Here we show that exposing the monolayer MoS$_2$ in air to a modest laser intensity for a brief period of time enhances simultaneously the photoluminescence (PL) intensity associated with both trions and excitons, together with $sim$ 3 to 5 times increase of the Raman intensity of first and second order modes. The simultaneous increase of PL from trions and excitons cannot be understood based only on known-scenario of depletion of electron concentration in MoS$_2$ by adsorption of O$_2$ and H$_2$O molecules. This is explained by laser induced healing of defect states resulting in reduction of non-radiative Auger processes. This laser healing is corroborated by an observed increase of intensity of both the first order and second order 2LA(M) Raman modes by a factor of $sim$ 3 to 5. The A$_{1g}$ mode hardens by $sim$ 1.4 cm$^{-1}$ whereas the E$^1_{2g}$ mode softens by $sim$ 1 cm$^{-1}$. The second order 2LA(M) Raman mode at $sim$ 440 cm$^{-1}$ shows an increase in wavenumber by $sim$ 8 cm$^{-1}$ with laser exposure. These changes are a combined effect of change in electron concentrations and oxygen-induced lattice displacements.
We present Raman experiments on underdoped and overdoped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O(8+d) (Bi-2212) single crystals. We reveal the pseudogap in the electronic Raman spectra in the B1g and B2g geometries. In these geometries we probe respectively, the antinodal (AN)
and nodal (N) regions corresponding to the principal axes and the diagonal of the Brillouin zone. The pseudogap appears in underdoped regime and manifests itself in the B1g spectra by a strong depletion of the low energy electronic continuum as the temperature decreases. We define a temperature T* below which the depletion appears and the pseudogap energy, omegaPG the energy at which the depeletion closes. The pseudogap is also present in the B2g spectra but the depletion opens at higher energy than in the B1g spectra. We observe the creation of new electronic states inside the depletion as we enter the superconducting phase. This leads us to conclude (as proposed by S. Sakai et al.) that the pseudogap has a different structure than the superconducting gap and competes with it. We show that the nodal quasiparticle dynamic is very robust and almost insensitive to the pseudogap phase contrary to the antinodal quasiparticle dynamic. We finally reveal, in contrast to what it is usually admitted,an increase of the nodal quasiparticle spectral weight with underdoping. We interpret this result as the consequence of a possible Fermi surface disturbances in the doping range p=0.1-0.2.
One of the leading challenges of condensed matter physics in the past few decades in an understanding of the high-temperature copper-oxide superconductors. While the d-wave character of the superconducting state is well understood, the normal state i
n the underdoped regime has eluded understanding. Here we review the past few years of quantum oscillation measurements performed in the underdoped cuprates that have culminated in an understanding of the normal ground state of these materials. A nodal electron pocket created by charge order is found to characterise the normal ground state in YBa2Cu3O6+x and is likely universal to a majority of the cuprate superconductors. An open question remains regarding the origin of the suppression of the antinodal density of states at the Fermi energy in the underdoped normal state, either from mainly charge correlations, or more likely, from mainly pairing and / or magnetic correlations that precede charge order.
