Possible Competing Order-Induced Fermi Arcs in Cuprate Superconductors

Abstract

We investigate the scenario of competing order (CO) induced Fermi arcs and pseudogap in cuprate superconductors. For hole-type cuprates, both phenomena as a function of temperature and doping level can be accounted for if the CO vanishes at $T^{\ast }$ above the superconducting transition $T_c$ and the CO wave-vector Q is parallel to the antinodal direction. In contrast, the absence of these phenomena and the non-monotonic d-wave gap in electron-type cuprates may be attributed to $T^{\ast }<T_c$ and a CO wave-vector Q parallel to the nodal direction.
