Orders and disorder in high-temperature superconductors
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Strongly correlated electronic systems have stimulated numerous developments in theoretical frameworks, numerical tools, and experimental techniques. One group of materials that have been attracting meticulous efforts is the high-temperature (high-Tc) superconductors, not merely due to its large transition temperature, but also because it offers a well characterized laboratory for the study of exotic phenomena such as quantum criticality and non-Fermi liquid behavior. One pressing question in the field is the role played by disorder: inevitable in real materials, disorder is able to fundamentally alter the properties of system under certain circumstances. This thesis studies, from a theoretical point of view, how disorder affects various electronic orders in several model high-Tc superconductors, in particular copper-based high-Tc materials (cuprates). Various recent experiments in these materials are readily interpreted in light of our results.
