Theory of Quasiparticles in the Underdoped High-TcSuperconducting State

Abstract: The microscopic theory of superconducting (SC) state in the SU (2) slave-boson model is developed. We show how the pseudogap and Fermi surface (FS) segments in the normal state develop into a d-wave gap in the superconducting state. Even though the superfluid density is of order x (the doping concentration), the physical properties of the low lying quasiparticles are found to resemble those in BCS theory. Thus the microscopic theory lay the foundation for our earlier phenomenological discussion of the unusual … Show more

“…[21] The rate of change of n(q) could support this view but we found out that it also gets very reduced close to (0, π) and (π, 0) even in the non-interacting case when it is known that there is a continuous FS. Thus, the present results do not allow us to decide one way or the other.…”

“…At low temperature (as low as T = 1K [291]), the superfluid density is a linearly decreasing function of temperature [9]. While this linear behavior is generally believed to be the result of amplitude fluctuations of an order parameter with nodes, it is difficult [148,151,292,293] from this perspective to understand why the slope is nearly independent of x and of ∆ 0 /T c . This feature of the data is naturally explained if it is assumed that the linear temperature dependence, too, arises from classical phase fluctuations, but then it is hard to understand [274] why quantum effects would not quench these fluctuations at such low temperatures.…”

“…12͒. [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] This heterogeneous structure of the Fermi surface in the pseudogap regime can provide a possible reason why parts of quasiparticle and/or hole-pair states become inhomogeneous in the intense, pinned 4a ϫ 4a charge order state; the incoherent electronic states around the antinodes, where the pseudogap develops at T Ͼ T c , are easily modified by external perturbation caused by the randomness associated with pinning potential of the charge order.…”
