Underdoped high-Tc superconductors are frequently characterised by a temperature, T*, below which the normal-state pseudogap opens. Two different "phase diagrams" based on the doping (p) dependence of T* are currently considered: one where…
The unconventional normal-state properties of the cuprates are often discussed in terms of emergent electronic order that onsets below a putative critical doping of xc = 0.19. Charge-density wave (CDW) correlations represent one such order;…
