Antiphase Stripe Order as the Origin of Electron Pockets Observed in 1/8-Hole-Doped Cuprates

TL;DR

This paper links antiphase stripe order in underdoped cuprates to the observed electron pockets via quantum oscillation data, supporting a mean field theory that explains the Fermi surface reconstruction.

Contribution

It demonstrates that antiphase stripe order can account for electron pockets in underdoped cuprates, aligning experimental observations with theoretical predictions.

Findings

Quantum oscillation data consistent with stripe order predictions

Electron pockets dominate magneto-transport in certain conditions

Supports mean field theory of stripe order in cuprates

Abstract

Recent quantum oscillation measurements on underdoped cuprates are shown to be consistent with the predictions of a mean field theory of the 1/8 magnetic antiphase stripe order proposed to occur in high-$T_c$ cuprates. In particular, for intermediate values of the stripe order parameter, the magneto-transport is found to be dominated by an electron pocket.
