“…Systems in the optimally doped region deviate from this linear line, showing a "plateau" like behavior, which was later found out to be due to the effect of the CuO chains in the case of the YBCO systems [29]. We see that the nearly linear trend is followed also by systems with Cu/Zn substitution [8], spontaneous formation of static magnetic regions (shown with the "stripe" symbols), and even with overdoping (Tl2201) [24], the implications of which will be discussed in later sections.…”

“…By combining the universal correlations and the pseudo-gap behavior, we proposed a picture for the cuprates based on crossover from Bose-Einstein (BE) to BCS condensation in 1994 [6,7]. We also demonstrated that the correlations between T c and n s /m * are robust against various artificial/spontaneous formations of spatial heterogeneity, such as Cu/Zn substitution, for which we proposed the "Swiss Cheese Model" in 1996 [8].…”

To find out a primary determing factor of Tc and a pairing mechanism in high-Tc cuprates, we combine the muon spin relaxation results on ns/m * (superconducting carrier density / effective mass), accumulated over the last 15 years, with the results from neutron and Raman scattering, STM, specific heat, Nernst effect and ARPES measurements. We identify the neutron magnetic resonance mode as an analogue of roton minimum in the superfluid 4 He, and argue that ns/m * and the resonance mode energy ωres play a primary role in determining Tc in the underdoped region. We propose a picture that roton-like excitations in the cuprates appear as a coupled mode, which has the resonance mode for spin and charge responses at different momentum transfers but the same energy transfers, as detected respectively, by the neutron S=1 mode and the Raman S=0 A1g mode. We shall call this as the "hybrid spin/charge roton". After discussing the role of dimensionality in condensation, we propose a generic phase diagram of the cuprates with spatial phase separation in the overdoped region as a special case of the BE-BCS crossover conjecture where the superconducting coupling is lost rapidly in the overdoped region. Using a microscopic model of charge motion resonating with antiferomagnetic spin fluctuations, we propose a possibility that the hybrid spin/charge roton and higher-energy spin fluctuations mediate the superconducting pairing. In this model, the resonance modes can be viewed as a meson-analogue and the "dome" shape of the phase diagram can be understood as a natural consequence of departure from the competing Mott insulator ground state via carrier doping.

Local antiferromagnetism coexists with superconductivity in the cuprates. Charge segregation provides a way to reconcile these properties. Direct evidence for modulated spin and charge densities has been found in neutron and X-ray scattering studies of Nd-doped La 2−x Sr x CuO 4 . Here we discuss the nature of the modulation, and present some new results for a Zn-doped sample. Some of the open questions concerning the connections between segregation and superconductivity are described.
