Pseudogap formation is an ubiquitous phenomena in strongly-correlated superconductors, for example cuprates, heavy-fermion superconductors, and iron pnictides. As the system is cooled, an energy gap opens in the excitation spectrum before…

A major puzzle in the study of the cuprate superconductivity is the origin of the pseudogap end point. Intriguingly, such a critical doping is also where the superfluid density of the system reaches its maximum. A non-monotonic doping…
