The electronic structure of the ${\mathrm{La}}_{2\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{x}{\mathrm{CuO}}_{4}$ (LSCO) system has been studied by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). We report on the evolution of the Fermi surface, the superconducting gap, and the band dispersion around the extended saddle point $\mathbf{k}=(\ensuremath{\pi},0)$ with hole doping in the superconducting and metallic phases. As hole concentration x decreases, the flat band at $(\ensuremath{\pi},0)$ moves from above the Fermi level ${(E}_{\mathrm{F}})$ for $xg0.2$ to below ${E}_{\mathrm{F}}$ for $xl0.2,$ and is further lowered down to $x=0.05.$ From the leading-edge shift of ARPES spectra, the magnitude of the superconducting gap around $(\ensuremath{\pi},0)$ is found to monotonically increase as x decreases from $x=0.30$ down to $x=0.05$ even though ${T}_{c}$ decreases in the underdoped region, and the superconducting gap appears to smoothly evolve into the normal-state gap at $x=0.05.$ It is shown that the energy scales characterizing these low-energy structures have similar doping dependences. For the heavily overdoped sample $(x=0.30),$ the band dispersion and the ARPES spectral line shape are analyzed using a simple phenomenological self-energy form, and the electronic effective mass enhancement factor ${m}^{*}{/m}_{b}\ensuremath{\simeq}2$ has been found. As the hole concentration decreases, an incoherent component that cannot be described within the simple self-energy analysis grows intense in the high-energy tail of the ARPES peak. Some unusual features of the electronic structure observed for the underdoped region $(x\ensuremath{\lesssim}0.10)$ are consistent with numerical works on the stripe model.read more

Scaling analysis of normal-state properties of high-temperature superconductors
TL;DR: In this paper, a model-independent scaling method was proposed to study the physical properties of high-temperature superconductors in the normal state, and the experimental data of the c-axis resistivity, the in-plane resistivities, the Hall coefficient, the magnetic susceptibility, the spin-lattice relaxation rate and the thermoelectric power were analyzed.

Universal Behavior and the Two-component Character of Magnetically Underdoped Cuprate Superconductors

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed review of scaling behavior in the magnetically underdoped cuprate superconductors (hole dopings less than 0.20) is presented, and it reflects the presence of two coupled components throughout this doping regime: a non-Landau Fermi liquid and a spin liquid whose behavior maps onto the theoretical Monte Carlo calculations of localized Cu spins for most of its temperature domain.
