We examine the effects of a phenomenological pseudogap on the T=0 K phase diagram of a high temperature superconductor within a self-consistent model which exhibits a d-wave pairing symmetry. At the mean-field level the presence of a…
We study the anomalous normal state properties of a simple two-dimensional model whose ground state is a d-wave superconductor. Using a self-consistent, conserving formulation, we show that pairing correlations above T_c lead to the…
Although nineteen years have passed since the discovery of high temperature superconductivity, there is still no consensus on its physical origin. This is in large part because of a lack of understanding of the state of matter out of which…
We revise the problem of the density of states in disordered superconductors. Randomness of local sample characteristics translates to the quenched spatial inhomogeneity of the spectral gap, smearing the BCS coherence peak. We show that…
In a Fermi superfluid increasing population imbalance leads initially to reduction of the transition temperature, then the appearance of modulated Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) states, and finally the suppression of pairing…
The pseudogap stands out in the phase diagram of the cuprate high-temperature superconductors because its origin and relationship to superconductivity remain elusive. The origin of the pseudogap has been debated, with competing hypotheses…
We establish that the cuprate pseudogap plays a crucial role in the $ab$-plane optical conductivity $\sigma(\omega,T)$ for temperatures $T \le T_c$. The pseudogap signatures in $\sigma(\omega,T)$ associated with competing proposals of a…
One of the key features of hole-doped cuprates is the presence of an extended pseudogap phase, whose microscopic origin has been the subject of intense investigation since its discovery and is believed to be crucial for understanding…
The pseudogap phenomena induced by the SC fluctuation are investigated in details. We perform a calculation beyond the 1-loop approximation. The SC fluctuation is microscopically derived on the basis of the repulsive Hubbard model. The…
In a recent paper [cond-mat/0303185], Wu and Yip presented calculations that they interpreted as indicating an instability of the interior gap phase -- a new, hybrid superfluid-normal state of matter that we proposed in [PRL 90, 047002…
The electronic correlations in oxide HTSC in the normal state are analyzed by the generalized Hartree-Fock theory of Nambu and Gorkov. It yields two kinds of pseudogaps, the small pseudogap (SPG) and the large pseudogap (LPG). The first is…
In the last few years evidence has been accumulating that there are a multiplicity of energy scales which characterize superconductivity in the underdoped cuprates. In contrast to the situation in BCS superconductors, the phase coherence…
Here I establish the field perturbation theory of pseudogaps in HTSC. The proposed ground state suggests an internal particle-hole field, which is normal to nesting surfaces, and having twice the Fermi wave-number. It is proved that the…
The explanation of the anomalous behavior in $\kappa$-type (BEDT-TTF)$_2$X which was revealed by the nuclear magnetic resonance experiments is presented. We calculate the electronic properties by using the one-loop approximation for the…
The mechanism of high temperature superconductivity is not resolved for so long because the normal state of cuprates is not yet understood. Here we show that the normal state pseudo-gap exhibits an unexpected non-monotonic temperature…
Polarized neutron scattering measurements have suggested that intra-unit cell antiferromagnetism may be associated with the pseudogap phase. Assuming that loop current order is responsible for the observed magnetism, we calculate some…
For one-dimensional random Schr\"odinger operators, the integrated density of states is known to be given in terms of the (averaged) rotation number of the Pr\"ufer phase dynamics. This paper develops a controlled perturbation theory for…
We obtain a form of the local thermodynamic equilibrium density operator which is invariant under pseudo-gauge transformations of the stress-energy and the spin tensors. This operator is an excellent candidate to describe the dynamics of a…
The competition, coexistence and cooperation of various orders in low-dimensional materials like spin, charge, topological orders and charge-density-wave has been one of the most intriguing issues in condensed matter physics. In particular,…
The balance of pseudomomentum is discussed and applied to simple elasticity, ideal fluids, and the mechanics of inextensible rods and sheets. A general framework is presented in which the simultaneous variation of an action with respect to…
