Generally strong charge and magnetic inhomogeneities are observed in NQR/NMR experiments on underdoped cuprates. It is not the case for the underdoped HgBa$_2$CuO$_{4+\delta}$, the most symmetric and highest T$_c$ single layer cuprate,…
We investigate the effect of oxygen-oxygen hopping on the three-band copper-oxide model relevant to high-$T_c$ cuprates, finding that the physics is changed only slightly as the oxygen-oxygen hopping is varied. The location of the…
We evaluate numerically several superconducting correlation functions in a generalized $t-J$ model derived for hole-doped CuO$_2$ planes. The model includes a three-site term $t''$ similar to that obtained in the large $U$ limit of the…
