Inhomogeneity, Dynamical Symmetry, and Complexity in High-Temperature Superconductors: Reconciling a Universal Phase Diagram with Rich Local Disorder
2008
A model for high-temperature superconductors incorporating antiferromagnetism, d-wave superconductivity, and no double lattice-site occupancy can give energy surfaces exquisitely balanced between antiferromagnetic and superconducting order for specific ranges of doping and temperature. The resulting properties can reconcile a universal cuprate phase diagram with rich inhomogeneity, relate that inhomogeneity to pseudogaps, give a fundamental rationale for giant proximity effects and other emergent behavior, and provide an objective framework for separating essential from peripheral in the superconducting mechanism.
