The cuprate superconductors: a phenomenological overlook

Abstract

We, basing on the quantum critical point (QCP)(p=0.19p = 0.19 ), propose a phenomenological description on high-TcT_c superconductivity in the cuprate superconductors, and suggest it divides the whole doping region into two parts: the underdoped region (p<0.19p < 0.19 ) and the overdoped region (p>0.19 p> 0.19 ). The electrons in the former are localized and form the localized Fermi liquid, a kind of the non-Fermi liquid, where the carriers are the holes; the electrons in the latter are itinerant and form the Fermi liquid, where the carriers are the electrons. We further argue that localization is a prerequisite to the pseudogap; the superconductivity gap and coherence forms at the same time, which both share the same energy scale; coherence induces phonon around the node.
