The formation of a charge density wave state is characterized by an order parameter. The way it is established provides unique information on both the role that correlation plays in driving the charge density wave formation and the…
Superconductivity is often found in a dome around quantum critical points, i.e. 2nd-order quantum phase transitions. Here, we show that an enhancement of superconductivity is avoided at the critical pressure of the charge-density-wave (CDW)…
We argue that the Fermi arc observed in angle resolved photoemission measurements in underdoped cuprates can be understood as a consequence of inelastic scattering in a d-wave superconductor. We analyze this phenomenon in the context of…

The interplay between superconductivity and the pseudogap is an important aspect of cuprate physics. However, the nature of the pseudogap remains controversial, in part because different experiments have suggested different gap functions.…
