Origin of Pseudogap and Stripe Phase in High-Tc Superconductors in Two Dimensional Picture

TL;DR

This paper demonstrates that the paired cluster model effectively explains the pseudogap and stripe phases in high-Tc cuprate superconductors, with consistent results in both 3D and 2D electronic density of states frameworks.

Contribution

The study extends the paired cluster model to two-dimensional electronic structures, confirming its robustness in explaining high-Tc superconductivity phenomena.

Findings

Pseudogap origin remains consistent in 2D and 3D models.

Stripe phase description is similar across dimensionalities.

The PC model effectively explains high-Tc properties in cuprates.

Abstract

The details of the pseudogap origin and other gap related properties discussed earlier for cuprates, in the framework of the paired cluster (PC) model, using three dimensional (3D) electronic density of states (DOS), are shown to remain valid even when a two dimensional (2D) cuprate electronic DOS is used. Similarly the stripe phase description is also shown to be similar for the 3D and 2D cases. These results confirm the PC model's capability in explaining the high-Tc superconductivity properties.
