A possible explanation for the existence of the cuprate "pseudogap" state is that it is a d-wave superconductor without quantum phase rigidity. Transport and thermodynamic studies provide compelling evidence that supports this proposal, but…
It is shown that charge ordering in layered crystalline metals causes an increase in the normal state energy of the conducting layers. If this increase in the energy exceeds the difference between the superconducting state energy and the…
