A lattice field theoretical model for high-$T_c$ superconductivity

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2010-03-19 v1

Abstract

We present a 2+1-dimensional lattice model for the copper oxide superconductors and their parent compounds, in which both the charge and spin degrees of freedom are treated dynamically. The spin-charge coupling parameter is associated to the doping fraction in the cuprates. The model is able to account for the various phases of the cuprates and their properties, not only at low and intermediate doping but also for (highly) over-doped compounds. We acquire a qualitative understanding of high-TcT_c superconductivity as a Bose-Einstein condensation of bound charge pairs.
