Fermi-surface reconstruction by stripe order in cuprate superconductors

Abstract: The origin of pairing in a superconductor resides in the underlying normal state. In the cuprate high-temperature superconductor YBa2Cu3Oy (YBCO), application of a magnetic field to suppress superconductivity reveals a ground state that appears to break the translational symmetry of the lattice, pointing to some density-wave order. Here we use a comparative study of thermoelectric transport in the cuprates YBCO and La1.8−xEu0.2SrxCuO4 (Eu-LSCO) to show that the two materials exhibit the same process of Fermi-s… Show more

“…This kind of quantum criticality predicts a logarithmic divergent thermopower S=T $ lnð1=o c Þ $ lnð1=TÞ, where T is the temperature 38 . Such a temperature dependence has been reported 40,41 for La 2 À x À y R y Sr x CuO 4 with R ¼ Eu (y ¼ 0.2) or Nd (y ¼ 0.4) and dopants x ¼ 0.24 comparable to this study. As pointed out in recent numerical studies, the vicinity of the van-Hove singularity to the Fermi level should not be neglected and in concert with electron correlation this can also produce non-Fermi liquid behaviour 42,43 .…”

“…Translational symmetry-breaking models proposed thus far are either nodal-antinodal (for example, refs 11,12), which would be inconsistent with the current experimental results, or comprise solely nodal hole pockets 13 , which would be difficult to reconcile with negative Hall and Seebeck effect 4,20 , leaving us with a dilemma. Possible resolutions to this problem involve understanding how a negative Hall and Seebeck effect can arise from a nodal Fermi surface pocket 30,31 .…”

“…Quantum oscillations in the case of a fixed chemical potential cannot discern the sign of charge carriers or whether there are single or multiple types of charge carrier present 17 , causing recourse, thus far, to less direct probes such as the Hall effect and thermopower, and calculations of the electronic structure to infer a nodal-antinodal Fermi surface 4,9,[18][19][20] .…”

“…Despite the mounting evidence for a charge-ordering instability in virtually all cuprate families 2,6,[8][9][10][11]23,[26][27][28][29][30] , there is still a long way to go before elucidating the importance of this instability in determining the properties of the cuprates. Neither the possibility of an intertwining of the charge and superconducting order parameters 31 nor the possibility of a direct relationship between the two orders 32,33 can be addressed by the present results.…”
