Pseudogap and its connection to particle-hole asymmetry electronic state and Fermi arcs in cuprate superconductors

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 SC 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 $T^{\ast }$, and it covers the full length of the Fermi surface for $T>T^{\ast }$. 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.
