Effects of coupling between phonon distortions and stripe-like spin waves in the CuO plane of HgBa$_2$CuO$_4$ are studied by band calculations. Local exchange enhancements depend sensitively on the local structure around Cu sites.…

A notable aspect of high-temperature superconductivity in the copper oxides is the unconventional nature of the underlying paired-electron state. A direct manifestation of the unconventional state is a pairing energy - that is, the energy…

A scaling relation \rho_s \simeq 35\sigma_{dc}T_c has been observed in the copper-oxide superconductors, where \rho_s is the strength of the superconducting condensate, T_c is the critical temperature, and \sigma_{dc} is the normal-state dc…
The mutual interaction between Cooper pairs is proposed as a mechanism for the superconducting state. Above $T_c$, pre-existing but fluctuating Cooper pairs give rise to the unconventional {\it pseudogap} (PG) state, well-characterized by…
