Copper oxide superconductors have continually fascinated the communities of condensed matter physics and material sciences because they host the highest ambient-pressure superconducting transition temperature (Tc) and mysterious physics. Searching for the universal correlation between the superconducting state and its normal state or neighboring ground state is believed to be an effective way for finding clues to elucidate the underlying mechanism of the superconductivity. One of the common pictures for the copper oxide superconductors is that a well-behaved metallic phase will present after the superconductivity is entirely suppressed by chemical doping or application of the magnetic field. Here, we report a different observation of universal quantum transition from superconducting state to insulating-like state under pressure in the under-, optimally- and over-doped Bi2212 superconductors with two CuO2 planes in a unit cell. The same phenomenon has been also found in the Bi2201 superconductor with one CuO2 plane and the Bi2223 superconductor with three CuO2 planes in a unit cell. These results not only provide fresh information but also pose a new challenge for achieving a unified understanding on the underlying physics of the high-Tc superconductivity.

The non-equilibrium state of the high-Tc superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta and its ultrafast dynamics have been investigated by femtosecond time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy well below the critical temperature. We probe optically e
xcited quasiparticles at different electron momenta along the Fermi surface and detect metastable quasiparticles near the antinode. Their decay through e-e scattering is blocked by a phase space restricted to the nodal region. The lack of momentum dependence in the decay rates is in agreement with relaxation dominated by Cooper pair recombination in a boson bottleneck limit.
Thin superconducting films form a unique platform for geometrically-confined, strongly-interacting electrons. They allow an inherent competition between disorder and superconductivity, which in turn enables the intriguing superconducting-to-insulator
transition and believed to facilitate the comprehension of high-Tc superconductivity. Furthermore, understanding thin film superconductivity is technologically essential e.g. for photo-detectors, and quantum-computers. Consequently, the absence of an established universal relationships between critical temperature ($T_c$), film thickness ($d$) and sheet resistance ($R_s$) hinders both our understanding of the onset of the superconductivity and the development of miniaturised superconducting devices. We report that in thin films, superconductivity scales as $d^.$$T_c(R_s)$. We demonstrated this scaling by analysing the data published over the past 46 years for different materials (and facilitated this database for further analysis). Moreover, we experimentally confirmed the discovered scaling for NbN films, quantified it with a power law, explored its possible origin and demonstrated its usefulness for superconducting film-based devices.
The cuprates contain a range of nanoscale phenomena that consist of both LDOS(E) features and spatial excitations. Many of these phenomena can only be observed through the use of a SI-STM and their disorder can be mapped out through the fitting of a
phenomenological model to the LDOS(E). We present a study of the nanometer scale disorder of single crystal cryogenically cleaved samples of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x whose dopings range from p = 0.19 to 0.06. The phenomenological model used is the Tripartite model that has been successfully applied to the average LDOS(E) previously. The resulting energy scale maps show a structured patchwork disorder of three energy scales, which can be described by a single underlying disordered parameter. This spatial disorder structure is universal for all dopings and energy scales. It is independent of the oxygen dopant negative energy resonances and the interface between the different patches takes the form of a shortened lifetime pseudogap/superconducting gap state. The relationship between the energy scales and the spatial modulations of the dispersive QPI, static q1* modulation and the pseudogap shows that the energy scales signatures in the LDOS(E) are tied to the onset and termination of the spatial excitations. The static q1* modulations local energy range is measured and its signature in the LDOS(E) is the kink, whose number of states are modulated with a wave vector of q1*. This analysis of both the LDOS(r,E) and the spatial modulations in q-space show a picture of a single underlying disordered parameter that determines both the LDOS(E) structure as well as the energy ranges of the QPI, q1* modulation and the pseudogap states. This parameter for a single patch can be defined by the Fermi surface crossing of the parent compound anti-ferromagnetic zone boundary for a model homogeneous superconductor with the same electronic properties as the patch.
Cuprate superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+{delta} (BSCCO) has been a promising candidate of a coherent, continuous, and compact THz light source owing to its intrinsic Josephson junction inside the crystal structure. In this paper, we utilized BSCCO cross
-whisker junctions to produce THz emitter device using the whisker crystals which can be easily obtained compared with single crystals. As a result, we have successfully observed the emission from the cross-whisker intrinsic Josephson junction, with frequency of ~0.7 THz. Our findings might enlarge the applicability of BSCCO superconductors for the THz emission source.
Recent improvements in momentum resolution by a factor of 32 lead to qualitatively new ARPES results on the spectra of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 (Bi2212) along the (pi,pi) direction, where there is a node in the superconducting gap. With improved resolution, we
now see the intrinsic lineshape, which indicates the presence of true quasiparticles at the Fermi momentum in the superconducting state, and lack thereof in the normal state. The region of momentum space probed here is relevant for charge transport, motivating a comparison of our results to conductivity measurements by infrared reflectivity.
