Neutron scattering experiments have played a crucial role in characterizing the spin and charge correlations in copper-oxide superconductors. While the data are often interpreted with respect to specific theories of the cuprates, an attempt…

25 years after discovery of high-temperature superconductivity (HTSC) in La$_{2-x}$Ba$_x$CuO$_4$ (LBCO), the HTSC continues to pose some of the biggest challenges in materials science. Cuprates are fundamentally different from conventional…
So far calculations of the spin susceptibility in the superconducting state of cuprates have been performed in the framework of weak-coupling approximations. However, it is known that cuprates belong to Mott-Hubbard doped materials where…
We introduce a minimal model for 2D cuprates with the on-site Hilbert space reduced to only three effective valence centers CuO$_4^{7-,6-,5-}$ (nominally Cu$^{1+,2+,3+}$) and make use of the S=1 pseudospin formalism. Despite its seeming…
Neutron scattering experiments continue to improve our knowledge of spin fluctuations in layered cuprates, excitations that are symptomatic of the electronic correlations underlying high-temperature superconductivity. Time-of-flight…
A model of CuO$_2$ planes of cuprate perovskites, containing $d_{x^2-y^2}$ copper orbitals and symmetric combinations of oxygen $p_\sigma$ orbitals, is investigated using the strong coupling diagram technique. This approach allows one to…
Although the vast majority of high-$T_c$ cuprate superconductors are hole-doped, a small family of electron-doped compounds exists. Under investigated until recently, there has been tremendous recent progress in their characterization. A…
Related to the electronic structure of cuprate high-Tc superconductors there are two prevailing views: In one view, Pines and collaborators argue that cuprates consist of two electronic subsystems: one with localized spins and the other…

Starting from the generalized t-J-G model Hamiltonian, we analyze the spin response in the superconducting cuprates taking into account both local and itinerant spin components which are coupled to each other self-consistently. Derived…
The purpose of the present Comment is to emphasize that the missing link has already been found, and the correlation reported by Pavarini et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 047003 (2001) [http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.87.047003] can be…

We show that a variety of spectral features in high-T_c cuprates can be understood from the coupling of charge carriers to some kind of dynamical order which we exemplify in terms of fluctuating charge and spin density waves. Two…

There is growing evidence that the hole-doped single-band Hubbard and $t$-$J$ models do not have a superconducting ground state reflective of the high-temperature cuprate superconductors but instead have striped spin- and charge-ordered…
