Progress and perspectives on electron-doped cuprates

NP Armitage, P Fournier, RL Greene - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2010 - APS
Although the vast majority of high-T c cuprate superconductors are hole-doped, a small
family of electron-doped compounds exists. Underinvestigated until recently, there has been …

The pseudogap: friend or foe of high T c ?

MR Norman, D Pines, C Kallin - Advances in Physics, 2005 - Taylor & Francis
Although nineteen years have passed since the discovery of high temperature cuprate
superconductivity, there is still no consensus on its physical origin. This is in large part …

Optical conductivity of c axis oriented : Evidence for a pseudogap

CC Homes, T Timusk, R Liang, DA Bonn, WN Hardy - Physical review letters, 1993 - APS
The c axis reflectance of high-quality single crystals of YBa 2 Cu 3 O 6+ x has been

A survey of the Van Hove scenario for high-Tc superconductivity with special emphasis on pseudogaps and striped phases

RS Markiewicz - Journal of Physics and Chemistry of Solids, 1997 - Elsevier
The Van Hove singularity (VHS) provides a paradigm for the study of the role of peaks in the
density of states (dos) on electronic properties. More importantly, it appears to play a major …

The electronic nature of high temperature cuprate superconductors

MR Norman, C Pépin - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2003 - iopscience.iop.org
We review the field of high temperature cuprate superconductors, with emphasis on the
nature of their electronic properties. After a general overview of experiment and theory, we …

Frequency- and temperature-dependent conductivity in crystals

Static and dynamical properties of doped Hubbard clusters

E Dagotto, A Moreo, F Ortolani, D Poilblanc, J Riera - Physical Review B, 1992 - APS
We study the tJ and the Hubbard models at zero temperature using exact-diagonalization
techniques on√ 10×√ 10 and 4× 4 sites clusters. Quantum Monte Carlo simulation results …

Twisted boundary conditions in cluster calculations of the optical conductivity in two-dimensional lattice models

D Poilblanc - Physical Review B, 1991 - APS
We investigate the extended tJ model (which may include a small next-nearest-neighbor
antiferromagnetic coupling or a small hole-hole nearest-neighbor repulsion) by exact …

Observation of a midinfrared band in

P Calvani, M Capizzi, F Donato, S Lupi, P Maselli… - Physical Review B, 1993 - APS
Transmission measurements have been performed in reduced SrTiO 3 between 300 and 17
K for different concentrations of oxygen vacancies. A midinfrared absorption band has been …

Growth of the optical conductivity in the Cu-O planes

SL Cooper, GA Thomas, J Orenstein, DH Rapkine… - Physical Review B, 1990 - APS
We have studied the development of the optical conductivity as electrons are added to the
Cu-O planes in Pr 2− x Ce x CuO 4− δ by varying x (0≤ x≤ 0.2). In the metallic phases …
