Stripes, Non-Fermi-Liquid Behavior, and Two-Component Transport in the High-Tc Cuprates

TL;DR

This paper explains non-Fermi-liquid behavior in high-Tc cuprates through a model involving striped electronic structures based on large-U and small-U orbitals, accounting for anomalous transport properties.

Contribution

It introduces a novel electronic structure model with striped phases to explain the unconventional transport phenomena in high-Tc cuprates.

Findings

Resistivity, Hall constant, and thermoelectric power are explained by the model.

Striped structure underpins the non-Fermi-liquid behavior.

Electronic structure based on large-U and small-U orbitals accounts for systematic transport features.

Abstract

Non-Fermi-liquid features of the high-Tc cuprates, and specifically the systematic behavior of the resistivity, Hall constant, and thermoelectric power, are shown to result from an electronic structure based on "large-U" and "small-U" orbitals, and the resulting striped structure.
