We investigate the pairing symmetry in heavily overdoped Ba(1-x)KxFe2As2 based on the spin-fluctuation mechanism. We propose a Fermi-patch mechanism that is different from the conventional Fermi-surface-nesting picture. The exotic octet nodes of the superconducting gap and the unusual evolution of the gap with doping observed by the recent experiments are well explained in a unified manner. We demonstrate that the scattering of electrons on the Fermi patches is mainly responsible for the incommensurate spin fluctuations and consequently the Fermi-surface-dependent multi-gap structure, since the Fermi level is close to the flat band. In addition, we find that a d-wave pairing state will prevail over the s-wave pairing state around the Lifshitz transition point.

To investigate proposed ferromagnetic fluctuations in the so-called single-layer Bi-2201 and La-214 high- cuprates, we performed magnetization and electrical resistivity measurements using single-layer Tl-2201 cuprates TlBaCuO and La-214 LaSrCuO in the heavily overdoped regime. Magnetization of TlBaCuO and LaSrCuO exhibited the tendency to be saturated in high magnetic fields at low temperatures, suggesting the precursor behavior toward the formation of a ferromagnetic order. It was found that the power of temperature obtained from the temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity is ~4/3 and ~5/3 for Bi-2201 and LaSrCuO, respectively, and is ~4/3 at high temperatures and ~5/3 at low temperatures in TlBaCuO.

Understanding the various competing phases in cuprate superconductors is a long-standing challenging problem. Recent studies have shown that orbital degrees of freedom, both Cuorbitals and Oorbitals, are a key ingredient for a unified understanding of cuprate superconductors, including the material dependence. Here we investigate a four-bandd-pmodel derived from the first-principles calculations with the variational Monte Carlo method, which allows us to elucidate competing phases on an equal footing.

The effect of Lifshitz transition on thermodynamics and superconductivity in hole-doped cuprates has been heavily debated but remains an open question. In particular, an observed peak of electronic specific heat is proposed to originate from fluctuations of a putative quantum critical point (e.g.

Hall effect and quantum oscillation measurements on high temperature cuprate superconductors show that underdoped compositions have small Fermi surface pockets whereas when heavily overdoped, a single much larger pocket is found. The origin of this change in electronic structure has been unclear, but may be related to the high temperature superconductivity. Here we show that the clean overdoped single-layer cuprate TlBaCuO (Tl2201) displays CDW order with a remarkably long correlation length ξ ≈ 200 Å which disappears above a hole doping of p ≈ 0.

A crucial issue in cuprates is the extent and mechanism of the coupling of the lattice to the electrons and the superconductivity. Here we report Cu K edge extended X-ray absorption fine structure measurements elucidating the internal quantum tunneling polaron (iqtp) component of the dynamical structure in two heavily overdoped superconducting cuprate compounds, tetragonal YSrCuMoO with superconducting critical temperature, T = 84 K and hole density = 0.3 to 0.
