In unconventional superconductors, it is generally believed that understanding the physical properties of the normal state is a pre-requisite for understanding the superconductivity mechanism. In conventional superconductors like niobium or…
We reanalyze the data on the in-plane far infrared conductivity of underdoped orthoII YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{6.50}$ (YBCO$_{6.50}$) in terms of a model in which a pseudogap opens on part of the Fermi surface with the remaining ungaped piece…
It is proposed that Fermi-surface reconstruction in electron-doped Ln_{2-x}Ce_xCuO_4 (Ln = Pr, Nd) and in hole-doped YBa_2Cu_3O_{6+y} and YBa_2Cu_4O_8 occurs when the Fermi arcs extend into the second Brillouin zone (BZ). The criterion…
Magneto-oscillations in kinetic and magnetic response functions of a few underdoped cuprates are perhaps one of the most striking observations since many probes of underdoped cuprates clearly point to a non Fermi-liquid normal state. Their…
Using an exact numerical solution and semiclassical analysis, we investigate quantum oscillations (QOs) in a model of a bilayer system with an anisotropic (elliptical) electron pocket in each plane. Key features of QO experiments in the…
Fermiology, the shape and size of the Fermi surface, underpins the low-temperature physical properties of a metal. Recent investigations of the Fermi surface of high-Tc superconductors, however, show a most unusual behavior: upon addition…
Fermi surface models applied to the underdoped cuprates predict the small pocket area to be strongly dependent on doping whereas quantum oscillations in YBa2Cu3O6+x find precisely the opposite to be true; seemingly at odds with the…
Central issues in the electronic structure of underdoped cuprate superconductors are to clarify the shape of the Fermi surfaces and the origin of a pseudogap. Based on the model proposed by Kamimura and Suwa which bears important…
The appearance of the Fermi arcs or gapless regions at the nodes of the Fermi surface just above the critical temperature is described through self-consistent calculations in an electronic disordered medium. We develop a model for cuprate…

We consider a two-dimensional Fermi liquid coupled to low-energy commensurate spin fluctuations. At small coupling, the hole Fermi surface is large and centered around $Q =(\pi,\pi)$. We show that as the coupling increases, the shape of the…
High-temperature superconductivity in the cuprates emerges from an enigmatic metallic state, known as the pseudogap, characterized by a reconstructed Fermi surface, reduced carrier density, and the appearance of Fermi arcs, whose origin…
We consider the effect of a short antiferromagnetic correlation length $\xi$ on the electronic bandstructure of the underdoped cuprates. Starting with a Fermi-surface topology similar to that detected in magnetic quantum-oscillation…
The currently established electronic phase diagram of cuprates is based on a study of single- and double-layered compounds. These CuO$_2$ planes, however, are directly contacted with dopant layers, thus inevitably disordered with an…
