High-temperature superconductivity in both the copper-oxide and the iron-pnictide/chalcogenide systems occurs in close proximity to antiferromagnetically ordered states. Neutron scattering has been an essential technique for characterizing…

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…

The physical origin of cuprate high-temperature superconductor pseudogaps remains debatable. We point out that the indication of such excitation is hidden in the usual expression for the quasiparticle energy. It can be realized on a…
We demonstrate that most features ascribed to strong correlation effects in various spectroscopies of the cuprates are captured by a calculation of the self-energy incorporating effects of spin and charge fluctuations. The self energy is…
