This thesis is devoted to a theoretical study of high-temperature superconductivity from the viewpoint of a doped Mott insulator. To this end, the square-lattice t-J model is analyzed by variational and mean-field approaches. The thesis focuses on the cons ...
Though the high superconducting transition temperature (Tc) is the most interesting technological aspect of high temperature superconductors, the complex way in which the spin, lattice and electronic degrees of freedom interplay, makes them of the highest ...
The energy gap Delta of superconducting Pb islands grown on Si(111) was probed in situ between 5 and 60 monolayers by low-temperature scanning tunneling spectroscopy. Delta was found to decrease from its bulk value as a function of inverse island thickness ...
Here we present a calculation of the temperature-dependent London penetration depth, λ(T), in Ba1-xKxFe 2As2 (BKFA) on the basis of the electronic band structure (Zabolotnyy et al 2009 Nature 457 569, Zabolotnyy et al 2009 Physica C 469 448) and momentum-d ...
The search for the coexistence between superconductivity and other collective electronic states in many instances promoted the discovery of novel states of matter. The manner in which the different types of electronic order combine remains an ongoing puzzl ...
We report an angle-resolved photoemission study of the electronic structure of the pseudogap state in La1.48Nd0.4Sr0.12CuO4 (T-c < 7 K). Two opposite dispersing Fermi arcs are the main result of this study. Several scenarios that can explain this observati ...

The mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity has not been resolved for so long because the normal state of cuprates, which exhibits enigmatic pseudogap phenomena, is not yet understood. We performed careful temperature- and momentum-resolved photoem ...
We use an SU(2) mean-field theory approach with input from variational wave functions of the t-J model to study the electronic spectra in the pseudogap phase of cuprates. In our model, the intermediate-temperature state of underdoped cuprates is realized b ...
The precise momentum dependence of the superconducting gap in the iron-arsenide superconductor Ba1−xKxFe2As2 (BKFA) with Tc=32 K was determined from angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) via fitting the distribution of the quasiparticle density ...
Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy we demonstrate that a normal-state pseudogap exists above TN-IC in one of the most studied two-dimensional charge-density wave (CDW) dichalcogenides 2H-TaSe2. The initial formation of the incommensurate CDW i ...
