We have measured the complex conductivity of a BSCCO(2212) thin film between 0.2 and 1.0 THz. We find the conductivity in the superconducting state to be well described as the sum of contributions from quasiparticles, the condensate, and order parameter fluctuations which draw 30% of the spectral weight from the condensate. An analysis based on this decomposition yields a quasiparticle scattering rate on the order of k_(B)*T/(hbar) for temperatures below Tc.

We report on a study of thermal Hall conductivity k_xy in the superconducting state of CeCoIn_5. The scaling relation and the density of states of the delocalized quasiparticles, both obtained from k_xy, are consistent with d-wave superconducting sym
metry. The onset of superconductivity is accompanied by a steep increase in the thermal Hall angle, pointing to a striking enhancement in the quasiparticle mean free path. This enhancement is drastically suppressed in a very weak magnetic field. These results highlight that CeCoIn_5 is unique among superconductors. A small Fermi energy, a large superconducting gap, a short coherence length, and a long mean free path all indicate that CeCoIn_5 is clearly in the superclean regime (E_F/Delta<<l/xi), in which peculiar vortex state is expected.
Microscopy (STM). At all dopings, the low energy density-of-states modulations are analyzed according to a simple model of quasiparticle interference and found to be consistent with Fermi-arc superconductivity. The superconducting coherence-peaks, ub
iquitous in near-optimal tunneling spectra, are destroyed with strong underdoping and a new spectral type appears. Exclusively in regions exhibiting this new spectrum, we find local `checkerboard charge-order with wavevector Q=(2pi/4.5a,0);(0,2pi/4.5a)+15%. Surprisingly, this order coexists harmoniously with the the low energy
We report measurements of anamolously large dissipative conductivities in BiSrCaCuO(2212) at low temperatures. We have measured the complex conductivity of BSCCO thin films at 100-600 GHz as a function of doping from the underdoped to the overdoped s
tate. At low temperatures there exists a residual dissipative conductivity which scales with the T=0 superfluid density as the doping is varied. This residual dissipative conductivity is larger than the possible contribution from a thermal population of quasiparticles at the d-wave gap nodes.
The superconducting order parameter is directly related to the pairing interaction, with the amplitude determined by the interaction strength, while the phase reflects the spatial structure of the interaction. However, given the large variety of mate
rials and their rich physical properties within the iron-based high-Tc superconductors, the structure of the order parameter remains controversial in many cases. Here, we introduce Defect Bound State Quasi Particle Interference (DBS-QPI) as a new method to determine the superconducting order parameter. Using a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope, we image in-gap bound states in the stoichiometric iron-based superconductor LiFeAs and show that the bound states induced by defect scattering are formed from Bogoliubov quasiparticles that have significant spatial extent. Quasiparticle interference from these bound states has unique signatures from which one can determine the phase of the order parameter as well as the nature of the defect, i.e. whether it is better described as a magnetic vs a nonmagnetic scatterer. DBS-QPI provides an easy but general method to characterize the pairing symmetry of superconducting condensates.
Arguably the most intriguing aspect of the physics of cuprates is the close proximity between the record high-Tc superconductivity (HTSC) and the antiferromagnetic charge-transfer insulating state driven by Mott-like electron correlations. These are
responsible for the intimate connection between high and low-energy scale physics, and their key role in the mechanism of HTSC was conjectured very early on. More recently, the detection of quantum oscillations in high-magnetic field experiments on YBa2Cu3O6+x (YBCO) has suggested the existence of a Fermi surface of well-defined quasiparticles in underdoped cuprates, lending support to the alternative proposal that HTSC might emerge from a Fermi liquid across the whole cuprate phase diagram. Discriminating between these orthogonal scenarios hinges on the quantitative determination of the elusive quasiparticle weight Z, over a wide range of hole-doping p. By means of angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) on in situ doped YBCO, and following the evolution of bilayer band-splitting, we show that the overdoped metal electronic structure (0.25<p<0.37) is in remarkable agreement with density functional theory and the Z=2p/(p+1) mean-field prediction. Below p~0.10-0.15, we observe the vanishing of the nodal quasiparticle weight Z_N; this marks a clear departure from Fermi liquid behaviour and -- consistent with dynamical mean-field theory -- is even a more rapid crossover to the Mott physics than expected for the doped resonating valence bond (RVB) spin liquid.
