Underdoped cuprates exhibit a normal-state pseudogap, and their spins and doped carriers tend to spatially separate into 1- or 2-D stripes. Some view these as central to superconductivity, others as peripheral and merely competing. Using…
So far, the theories of the cuprate pseudogap may be broadly divided into two main schools of though. One is based upon the idea that view the pseudogap as deriving from some of precursor superconductivity. Another assumes that associate…
Measurements of the $c$-axis penetration depth $\lambda_c$ in the cuprates reveal a low-temperature $T$ dependence which is inconsistent with simple models of coupling between the CuO$_2$ layers. In this paper, we examine whether a model…

The properties of cuprate high-temperature superconductors are largely shaped by competing phases whose nature is often a mystery. Chiefly among them is the pseudogap phase, which sets in at a doping $p^*$ that is material-dependent. What…
A neutron scattering study of nonsuperconducting La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CaCu$_2$O$_6$ (x=0 and 0.2), a bilayer copper oxide without CuO chains, has revealed an unexpected tetragonal-to-orthorhombic transition with a doping dependent transition…
