Generally, the superconductivity was expected to be absent in magnetic systems, but this reception was disturbed by unconventional superconductors, such as cuprates, iron-based superconductors and recently discovered nickelate, since their…
The electronic structure of the high-Tc cuprates is studied in terms of "large-U" and "small-U" orbitals. A striped structure and three types of quasiparticles are obtained, polaron-like "stripons" carrying charge, "svivons" carrying spin,…
