The optical conductivity of the CuO$_3$-chains, a subsystem of the 1-2-3 materials, is dominated by a broad peak in the mid-infrared ($\omega \approx 0.2$eV), and a slowly falling high-frequency tail. The 1D $t$-$J$-model is proposed as the…

We use a variational approach to gain insight into the strongly correlated d-wave superconducting state of the high Tc cuprates at T=0. We show that strong correlations lead to qualitatively different trends in pairing and phase coherence:…

Identification of the electronic state that appears upon doping a Mott insulator is important to understand the physics of cuprate high-temperature superconductors. Recent scanning tunneling microscopy of cuprates provides evidence that a…
For decades, superconductivity in high-Tc cuprates has been viewed as a competitor that suppresses charge-density-wave (CDW) order by reducing its amplitude and spatial extent. Here, we show that this picture is incomplete, as…
Understanding the electron pairing in hole-doped cuprate superconductors has been a challenge, in particular because the "normal" state from which it evolves is unprecedented. Now, after three and a half decades of research, involving a…
