A phase separation model for stripes has found good agreement with photoemission experiments and with other studies which suggest a termination of the striped phase in the slightly overdoped regime. Here the model is extended in a number of…
The standard theory of metals, Fermi liquid theory, hinges on the key assumption that although the electrons interact, the low-energy excitation spectrum stands in a one-to-one correspondence with that of a non-interacting system. In the…
We show, by use of angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, that underdoped Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+\delta} appears to have a large Fermi surface centered at (\pi,\pi), even for samples with a T_c as low as 15 K. No clear evidence of a Fermi…

The pseudogap phase of the underdoped cuprate superconductors harbours diverse manifestations of different ordered electronic-states, and then these ordered electronic-states coexist or compete with superconductivity. Here starting from the…
