By considering the pseudogap effect, the doping and energy dependences of thermal conductivity in cuprate superconductors are studied. Our results show that the thermal conductivity as a function of energy exhibits a characteristic peak from underdoping to overdoping due to the presence of the pseudogap in pseudogap phase of cuprate superconductors. The thermal conductivity is strongly doping dependent. On the one hand, with increasing doping concentration, the weight of thermal conductivity increases quickly, especially the residual thermal conductivity which is in qualitative agreement with the experimental data. On the other hand, the characteristic energy corresponding to the position of the characteristic peak decreases monotonically upon increasing doping concentration, and it scales with the doping dependence of pseudogap. In particular, we have studied the doping dependence of the ratio of quasiparticle velocities normal and tangential to the Fermi surface at the nodes . It is shown that increases with the increase of doping concentration. Moreover, we explain that both the residual thermal conductivity and increase rapidly upon the increase in doping concentration in heavily overdoped cuprate superconductors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

There is a long-standing issue that the optical conductivity in normal-state of cuprate superconductors deviates the conventional Drude type marked by dependence, exhibiting two main components from underdoping to overdoping, a narrow band peaked around zero energy and a broadband centered in the mid-infrared region called mid-infrared band. Within the renormalized t- J model and self-consistent mean field theory, we discuss the doping and energy dependence of optical conductivity in cuprate superconductors. Our results show that the appearance of the pseudogap in normal state is responsible for anomalous optical conductivity, giving rise to the mid-infrared band. In particular, in analogy to the doping dependence of pseudogap, optical conductivity is also strongly doping dependent. By increasing the doping concentration, the spectral weight of the optical conductivity suppressed strongly in underdoped region increases quickly, and the peak position of the mid-infrared band moves towards to the lower energy region, then incorporates into the narrow band centered in zero energy in the heavily overdoped region.

It has become clear that the anomalous properties of cuprate superconductors are intimately related to the formation of a pseudogap. Within the framework of the kinetic-energy-driven superconducting mechanism, the effect of the pseudogap on the electronic Raman response (ERR) of cuprate superconductors in the superconducting-state is studied by taking into account the interplay between the superconducting gap and pseudogap. It is shown that the low-energy spectra almost rise as the cube of energy in thechannel and linearly with energy in thechannel. It is also shown that the pseudogap is strongly anisotropic in momentum space, where the magnitude of the pseudogap around the nodes is smaller than that around the antinodes, which leads to that the low-energy spectral weight of thespectrum is suppressed heavily by the pseudogap, while the pseudogap has a more modest effect on the ERR in theorientation.

One of the most intriguing puzzle is why there is a coexistence of Fermi arcs and Fermi pockets in the pseudogap phase of cuprate superconductors? This puzzle is calling for an explanation. Based on the t − J model in the fermion-spin representation, the coexistence of the Fermi arcs and Fermi pockets in cuprate superconductors is studied by taking into account the pseudogap effect. It is shown that the pseudogap induces an energy band splitting, and then the poles of the electron Green’s function at zero energy form two contours in momentum space, however, the electron spectral weight on these two contours around the antinodal region is gapped out by the pseudogap, leaving behind the low-energy electron spectral weight only located at the disconnected segments around the nodal region. In particular, the tips of these disconnected segments converge on the hot spots to form the closed Fermi pockets, generating a coexistence of the Fermi arcs and Fermi pockets. Moreover, the single-particle coherent weight is directly related to the pseudogap, and grows linearly with doping. The calculated result of the overall dispersion of the electron excitations is in qualitative agreement with the experimental data. The theory also predicts that the pseudogap-induced peak-dip-hump structure in the electron spectrum is absent from the hot-spot directions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The recently discovered charge order is an intrinsic and universal property of cuprate superconductors, however, its microscopic origin remains debated. Here we review briefly the theoretical work about the nature of charge order in cuprate superconductors. In particular, we show that the electron self-energy obliterates the electron Fermi surface around the antinodal region, leaving behind disconnected Fermi arcs located around the nodal region. The charge-order state on the other hand is driven by the Fermi-arc instability, with a characteristic wavevector corresponding to the hot spots of the Fermi arcs rather than the antinodal nesting vector. Since the pseudogap emanates from the electron self-energy, the Fermi arc, charge order, and pseudogap in cuprate superconductors are intimately related each other. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The recently discovered charge order is a generic feature of cuprate superconductors, however, its microscopic origin remains debated. Within the framework of the fermion-spin theory, the nature of charge order in the pseudogap phase and its evolution with doping are studied by taking into account the electron self-energy (then the pseudogap) effect. It is shown that the antinodal region of the electron Fermi surface is suppressed by the electron self-energy, and then the low-energy electron excitations occupy the disconnected Fermi arcs located around the nodal region. In particular, the charge order state is driven by the Fermi-arc instability, with a characteristic wave vector corresponding to the hot spots of the Fermi arcs rather than the antinodal nesting vector. Moreover, although the Fermi arc increases its length as a function of doping, the charge order wave vector reduces almost linearity with the increase of doping. The theory also indicates that the Fermi arc, charge order and pseudogap in cuprate superconductors are intimately related to each other, and all of them emanates from the electron self-energy due to the interaction between electrons by the exchange of spin excitations.

Superconductivity in cuprate superconductors occurs upon charge-carrier doping Mott insulators, where a central question is what mechanism causes the loss of electrical resistance below the superconducting (SC) transition temperature? In this paper, we attempt to summarize the basic idea of the kinetic-energy-driven SC mechanism in the description of superconductivity in cuprate superconductors. The mechanism of the kinetic-energy-driven superconductivity is purely electronic without phonons, where the charge-carrier pairing interaction in the particle-particle channel arises directly from the kinetic energy by the exchange of spin excitations in the higher powers of the doping concentration. This kinetic-energy-driven d-wave SC-state is controlled by both the SC gap and quasiparticle coherence, which leads to that the maximal SC transition temperature occurs around the optimal doping, and then decreases in both the underdoped and overdoped regimes. In particular, the same charge-carrier interaction mediated by spin excitations that induces the SC-state in the particle-particle channel also generates the normal-state pseudogap state in the particle-hole channel. The normal-state pseudogap crossover temperature is much larger than the SC transition temperature in the underdoped and optimally doped regimes, and then monotonically decreases upon the increase of doping, eventually disappearing together with superconductivity at the end of the SC dome. This kinetic-energy-driven SC mechanism also indicates that the strong electron correlation favors superconductivity, since the main ingredient is identified into a charge-carrier pairing mechanism not from the external degree of freedom such as the phonon but rather solely from the internal spin degree of freedom of the electron. The typical properties of cuprate superconductors discussed within the framework of the kinetic-energy-driven SC mechanism are also reviewed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: The particle–hole asymmetry electronic state of cuprate superconductors and the related doping and temperature dependence of the Fermi arc length are studied based on the kinetic energy driven superconducting mechanism. By taking into account the interplay between the superconducting gap and normal-state pseudogap, the essential feature of the evolution of the Fermi arc length with doping and temperature is qualitatively reproduced. It is shown that the particle–hole asymmetry electronic state is a natural consequence due to the presence the normal-state pseudogap in the particle–hole channel. The Fermi arc length increases with increasing temperatures below the normal-state pseudogap crossover temperature T ∗, and it covers the full length of the Fermi surface for T > T ∗. In particular, in analogy to the temperature dependence of the Fermi arc length, the low-temperature Fermi arc length in the underdoped regime increases with increasing doping, and then it evolves into a continuous contour in momentum space near the end of the superconducting dome. The theory also predicts an almost linear doping dependence of the Fermi arc length. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Within the renormalized t‐J model and self‐consistent mean field theory, the doping and energy dependences of the quasiparticle transport is studied in cuprate superconductors, especially in the underdoped region. By calculating the doping and energy dependence of the ratio of the thermal conductivity to the electrical conductivity at temperature T, κ(ω)/σ(ω)T (the form of the Wiedemann–Franz law), it is shown that κ(ω)/σ(ω)T increases with the increase of energy from underdoping to overdoping, whereas it is constant in heavily overdoped cuprate superconductors and recovers the result of the Wiedemann–Franz law at zero energy. The slope of κ(ω)/σ(ω)T is the highest in the underdoped region, decreases with increasing the doping concentration in the whole doping range, and reaches zero in the heavily overdoped region. In particular, the ratio κ(ω)/σ(ω)T as a function of energy exhibits a characteristic peak over the transition from underdoping to overdoping, and the position of the characteristic peak ωWF decreases monotonically upon increasing doping concentration. Therefore, these results indicate that the slope of κ(ω)/σ(ω)T and characteristic peaks as a function of doping are related to the appearance of the pseudogap in cuprate superconductors. The pseudogap effect on quasiparticle transport in cuprate superconductors is studied based on the renormalized t‐J model. At the static limit, the cuprate superconductors deviate from the Wiedemann–Franz (WF) law because of the pseudogap and recover the WF law in the heavily overdoped case. Meanwhile, at finite energy, a characteristic peak scales with the effective pseudogap. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

One of the central issues in the recent study of cuprate superconductors is the interplay of charge order with superconductivity. Here the interplay of charge order with superconductivity in cuprate superconductors is studied based on the kinetic-energy-driven superconducting (SC) mechanism by taking into account the intertwining between the pseudogap and SC gap. It is shown that the appearance of the Fermi pockets is closely associated with the emergence of the pseudogap. However, the distribution of the spectral weight of the SC-state quasiparticle spectrum on the Fermi arc, or equivalently the front side of the Fermi pocket, and back side of Fermi pocket is extremely anisotropic, where the most part of the spectral weight is located around the tips of the Fermi arcs, which in this case coincide with the hot spots on the electron Fermi surface (EFS). In particular, as charge order in the normal-state, this EFS instability drives charge order in the SC-state, with the charge-order wave vector that is well consistent with the wave vector connecting the hot spots on the straight Fermi arcs. Furthermore, this charge-order state is doping dependent, with the charge-order wave vector that decreases in magnitude with the increase of doping. Although there is a coexistence of charge order and superconductivity, this charge order antagonizes superconductivity. The results from the SC-state dynamical charge structure factor indicate the existence of a quantitative connection between the low-energy electronic structure and collective response of the electron density. The theory also shows that the pseudogap and charge order have a root in common, they and superconductivity are a natural consequence of the strong electron correlation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
