We present simple calculations which show that incommensurability upon doping and the width of the magnetically ordered phase in Mott-Hubbard insulators depend strongly on the location of the hole/electron pockets in the Brillouin zone. For…
High-temperature superconductivity occurs as copper oxides are chemically tuned to have a carrier concentration intermediate between their metallic state at high doping and their insulating state at zero doping. The underlying evolution of…
The CuO$_2$ antiferromagnetic insulator is transformed by hole-doping into an exotic quantum fluid usually referred to as the pseudogap (PG) phase. Its defining characteristic is a strong suppression of the electronic density-of-states D(E)…
We report the results of Raman scattering experiments on single crystals of La(2-x)Sr(x)CuO(4) that span the range from underdoped (x = 0.10) to overdoped (x =0.22). The spectra are consistent with the existence of a strong anisotropic…

The Fermi surface (FS) of Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+\delta}$ (Bi2212) predicted by band theory displays Bi-related pockets around the $(\pi,0)$ point, which have never been observed experimentally. We show that when the effects of hole…
