A superconducting superlattice of quantum stripes with a particular shape that gives the amplification of the critical temperature is called "superstripes". This superlattice is characterized by: a) the metallic stripe width L of the order of the de Broglie wavelength of electrons at the Fermi level, L ~λ F , and b) the hopping of pairs between the stripes larger than the hopping of single electrons. "Superstripes" can be realized artificially to get new room temperature superconductors (RTS). This particular mesoscopic heterostructure at the atomic limit has been found as a self organized network of charges, in a short time and space scale, in doped cuprate perovskites near the micro-strain quantum critical point for "superstripes" formation.

Anisotropic Cu-O strain has been measured and a relation between the superconducting critical temperature and the strain is studied in the YBa 2 Cu 3 O 6+ k (Y123). oxygen ordered YBa 2 Cu 3 O 6+ k phases. We show that the critical temperature scales both with the strain along the a axis (ε a ,) and along the b axis (ε b ). While undoped, the system is close to the critical strain, ε c ~ 0.043. The formation of chains with doping gives rise to a decrease of the ε b to take the system away from the critical point approaching the dynamical quantum stripe fluctuations (ε b <ε c ) and the ε a increases to approach the phase of superconducting stripes (ε a >ε c ).

We investigated a critical short-time relaxation in a lattice gauge theory. A systematic procedure of estimating critical point based on the "short-time scaling" is formulated. It is applied to the (2+1)-dimensional SU(2) lattice gauge theory at finite temperature to deduce its critical point. Finally, we studied the short-time relaxation behavior at the critical temperature starting either from "cold" and "hot" initial configuration, and calculated the dynamic critical exponents θ and z, as well as the static exponents β/ν.

The metallic phase in doped cuprate perovskites is determined by both the hope doping δ and the micro-strain ε of the planar Cu-O bond length. The micro-strain ε in the CuO 2 plane has been measured by Cu K-edge EXAFS and x-ray diffraction using synchrotron radiation. The critical micro-strain ε c for the onset of local lattice distortions (LLD) and stripe formation has been determined. The strain quantum critical point (QCP) is found at (ε c ,δ c ). The superconducting critical temperature is measured as a function of two variables T c (ε,δ) and it reaches its maximum at the strain QCP. The superconducting phase occurs in the region of critical fluctuations around this QCP. The critical fluctuations near the strain QCP drives the self-organization of the metallic plane forming a particular superlattice of quantum stripes called "superstripes" that favors the amplification of the superconducting critical temperature.

AbstractThe self-organized formation of single domain Au silicide nanowires is observed on Si(110). These nanowires are analysed using scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS) as well as photoemission spectroscopy (PES). Core-level PES is utilised to confirm the formation of Au silicide and establish its presence as the top most surface structure, i.e., the nanowires. The growth of the Au silicide nanowires and their dimensions are studied by STM. They form for Au coverages of about 1 monolayer and are characterized by widths of about 2 to 3 nm and heights below 1 nm while reaching lengths exceeding 500 nm when choosing appropriate annealing temperatures. Valence band PES and STS indicate a small but finite density of states at the Fermi level typical for compound metals.

AbstractWe report the evolution of nematic fluctuations in FeSe1−xSx single crystals as a function of Sulfur content x across the nematic quantum critical point (QCP) xc ~ 0.17 via Raman scattering. The Raman spectra in the B1g nematic channel consist of two components, but only the low energy one displays clear fingerprints of critical behavior and is attributed to itinerant carriers. Curie–Weiss analysis of the associated nematic susceptibility indicates a substantial effect of nemato-elastic coupling, which shifts the location of the nematic QCP. We argue that this lattice-induced shift likely explains the absence of any enhancement of the superconducting transition temperature at the QCP. The presence of two components in the nematic fluctuations spectrum is attributed to the dual aspect of electronic degrees of freedom in Hund’s metals, with both itinerant carriers and local moments contributing to the nematic susceptibility.
