Recent scanning tunneling microscopy measurements which indicate the formation of two-dimensional density modulations at some doping levels in cuprates were reviewed. A model of hard-core bosons which represent bound hole pairs in the two-dimensional doped antiferromagnet was discussed in the context of these experimental results. By means of an exact numerical diagonalization it was shown that the Coulomb repulsion between bosons brings about the formation of charge modulations.

The mechanism of pairing-symmetry selection in the weakly electron doped t-J model on the honeycomb lattice has been analyzed. The discussion of that problem has been motivated by some recent suggestions that due to charge ordering which may take place in the unconventional superconductor Na_xCoO_2· yH_2O at doping levels near x=1/3 the physics of CoO_2 planes may be effectively described in terms of a model for a weakly electron doped antiferromagnet on the honeycomb lattice. In the current publication the main emphasis has been put on reviewing experimental and theoretical work, the results of which support the scenario of charge order. In the calculation, the so-called string picture has been used. It has been demonstrated that spin fluctuations may induce in the honeycomb lattice the formation of an unconventional two-particle bound state. Upon the condensation of bound particles this mechanism may give rise to unconventional pairing. The critical value of the ratio J/t which is sufficient to induce binding has not been evaluated. It has been assumed instead that in the case of cobaltates some additional isotropic attractive interaction, for example phonon mediated, is active. Despite that the exchange of spin fluctuations is not a dominating interaction, it selects the symmetry of the paired state because it is anisotropic. C_{3v} is the relevant point group for the t-J model on the honeycomb lattice. It has been shown that the bound state of two additional electrons doped to the half-filled antiferromagnetically ordered system has zero total momentum and p-wave symmetry of the irreducible representation E. The expected paired state is a mixture of a singlet and a triplet because the honeycomb lattice does not possess the inversion symmetry.

We discuss the energy scale separation induced in DNA by gaps between molecular orbital states of individual bases and by electron correlations. We also demonstrate how this separation gives rise to effective low energy models of electron transport in DNA.

The mechanism of superconductivity generation by spin fluctuations in the electron doped canted antiferromagnet on the triangular lattice was analyzed. The underlying assumption is that the formation of the bound state is the prerequisite of pairing. The outcome of this analysis is also valid if an additional isotropic attraction is active but the anisotropic spin-fluctuation mediated force decides on the symmetry of the two-particle bound state. When the canted antiferromagnetic state is generated, the symmetry of the point group C_{6v} for the triangular lattice is lowered to the symmetry of C_{3v}. It is demonstrated that spin fluctuations definitely favor the p-wave bound state, which transforms according to the E representation of C_{3v}. Since the inversion is not an element of C_{3v}, the parity is not a good quantum number and thus the predicted paired state will be a mixture of singlet and triplet. Such a scenario may be relevant to physics of superconducting triangular cobaltates or organics.

Motivated by the difference between the experimental phase diagram of cuprates and expectations of the t-J model, we analyze the influence of the electronic structure on superconducting state generation for small levels of doping. Following some theoretical studies of the Fermi surface for hole doped superconducting cuprates we base our calculations on the t-t'-t''-J model. We construct the spin polaron model, which is an effective model for the t-J model, and we expand it by adding the new terms related to the next neighbor hopping integrals t' and t''. In the framework of this model we study evolutions of superconducting correlation functions with doping. As a result of numerical calculations we find out that superconducting state vanishes for small levels of doping and finite values of t' and t''. This is in qualitative agreement with experimental results.

We calculate the tunneling conductance in the framework of the spin polaron model, which is an effective model for the t-J model, in the limit where at least short-range antiferromagnetic correlations exist. We show that both in the normal state and in the superconducting state the asymmetry of tunneling conductance is present. This fact is the implication of the particle-hole asymmetry of the spin polaron Hamiltonian in the limit of low density of spin polarons which are quasiparticles emerging in a hole doped antiferromagnet. Experimental evidence of analogous asymmetric tunneling conductance was found in the tunneling spectroscopy measurements of high T_c superconductors.

We summarize briefly our recent work on the bound states of two electrons (Cooper pairs) in two nonstandard situations: when the quasiparticle masses depend on spin and when an electron pair is localized on a two-dimensional quantum dot and placed in an applied magnetic field. In both cases we are dealing with an extension of the original Cooper approach. The applicability of the results is briefly mentioned.

The mechanism of spin polaron formation in moderately doped cuprates is discussed. These objects represent holes embedded into heavy clouds formed by spin fluctuations. Wave functions of spin polarons are spatially confined due to the increase in the exchange energy which is induced by hole motion giving rise to the creation of spin fluctuations. These wave functions are eigenstates of an "unperturbed" Hamiltonian which is defined by processes responsible for the tendency toward confinement. The eigenstates transform according to different irreducible representations of the point group reflecting the symmetry of the problem. Thus, the spin polarons being local wave functions resemble orbital states. The spectrum of optical conductivity in the mid-infrared range is determined by transitions between s-wave and p-wave spin polarons. The hybridization between different spin polarons which is induced by some high order processes gives rise to the formation of energy bands. The pronounced transfer of the spectral weight between different bands is induced by the coupling between spin fluctuations created by the hopping hole and local quantum fluctuations in the empty antiferromagnetic background from which an electron has been rejected, for example during the photoemission process. The form of the energy dispersion for spin polarons gives rise to the formation of a small Fermi surface at the low hole-doping range. These three above mentioned phenomena were observed in cuprates which seems to confirm the spin polaron scenario. The discussion of related experiments is the additional objective of this paper.

In this paper we focus on the anomalous temperature dependence of the in-plane conductivity and symmetry mixing of the superconducting order parameter observed in various experiments on cuprates. We show that the one-band Hubbard model is not capable of describing the physics of cuprates because the kinetic energy is lowered in this model in the superconducting state, which contradicts experimental observations. The proper model to investigate doped, short-range antiferromagnets is the t-J model, for which our results agree with experiments. We analyze a spin polaron model, that is an effective model for a doped antiferromagnet. In the framework of this model we also study the superconducting order-parameter symmetry-mixing phenomenon. We show that the expected mixing of d-wave symmetry with p-wave symmetry takes place in the superconducting order-parameter at a finite value of the doping parameter. This symmetry mixing brakes the time-reversal symmetry.

We argue that three gaps observed in underdoped cuprates can be attributed to the formation of antiferromagnetic spin polarons and bipolarons. Within the spin polaron scenario the antinodal pseudogap at he high energy scale originates from the change of the Fermi surface topology, induced by antiferromagnetic correlations. That change gives rise to the diminishing of the spectral weight at the antinodal region near the Brillouin zone boundary. We demonstrate that effect by analyzing effective models of doped antiferromagnets. The second type of pseudogap appearing at the intermediate energy scale originates from the phenomena which are precursory to superconductivity and predominantly concern the portion of the Fermi surface near the nodal region. In order to analyze the latter phenomenon we use the negative U Hubbard model, in which many details typical to spin polaron physics are neglected, but which contains the essential ingredient of it, that is the strong short range attraction. The lowest energy scale is related to the true superconducting gap which develops with doping, although both types of pseudogap diminish with doping. This behavior can be explained by the fact that the spin polaron band is empty in the undoped system and therefore the formation of the superconducting state in the system is forbidden. Due to a pedagogical character of this report, we present in the introduction a short overview of mostly recent experimental results which are related to the gap-pseudogap physics.
