Biordered superconductivity and strong pseudogap state
arXiv:0704.2742 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.76.214506
Abstract
Interrelation between the two-particle and mean-field problems is used to describe the strong pseudogap and superconducting states in cuprates. We present strong pseudogap state as off-diagonal short-range order (ODSRO) originating from quasi-stationary states of the pair of repulsing particles with large total momentum (K - pair). Phase transition from the ODSRO state into the off-diagonal long-range ordered (ODLRO) superconducting state is associated with Bose-Einstein condensation of the K - pairs. A checkerboard spatial order observable in the superconducting state in the cuprates is explained by a rise of the K - pair density wave. A competition between the ODSRO and ODLRO states leads to the phase diagram typical of the cuprates. Biordered superconducting state of coexisting condensates of Cooper pairs with zero momentum and K - pairs explains some properties of the cuprates observed below Tc: Drude optical conductivity, unconventional isotope effect and two-gap quasiparticle spectrum with essentially different energy scales.
