of matter. In particular, the study in the last decades of the complex phase diagram of high …

Discovery of slow magnetic fluctuations and critical slowing down in the pseudogap phase of YBa2Cu3Oy

J Zhang, Z Ding, C Tan, K Huang, OO Bernal… - Science …, 2018 - science.org
The origin of the pseudogap region below a temperature T* is at the heart of the mysteries of
cuprate high-temperature superconductors. Unusual properties of the pseudogap phase …

Intertwining topological order and broken symmetry in a theory of fluctuating spin-density waves

S Chatterjee, S Sachdev, MS Scheurer - Physical review letters, 2017 - APS
The pseudogap metal phase of the hole-doped cuprate superconductors has two seemingly
unrelated characteristics: a gap in the electronic spectrum in the “antinodal” region of the …

Orientation of the intra-unit-cell magnetic moment in the high- superconductor

Y Tang, L Mangin-Thro, A Wildes, MK Chan, CJ Dorow… - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
Polarized-neutron diffraction (PND) experiments have revealed that the pseudogap state of
the cuprates exhibits unusual intra-unit-cell (IUC) magnetism. At a qualitative level, the data …

Orbital currents in insulating and doped antiferromagnets

MS Scheurer, S Sachdev - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
We describe square lattice spin liquids, which break time-reversal symmetry, while
preserving translational symmetry. The states are distinguished by the manner in which they …

We report the results of a muon spin relaxation study of slow magnetic fluctuations in the
pseudogap phase of underdoped single-crystalline YBa 2 Cu 3 O y, y= 6.77 and 6.83. The …

Incipient loop-current order in the underdoped cuprate superconductors

S Sarkar, D Chakraborty, C Pépin - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
There is growing experimental evidence that indicates discrete symmetry-breaking-like time-
reversal (T), parity (P), and C 4 lattice rotation in the pseudogap state of underdoped copper …

Mean-field thermodynamic quantum time-space crystal: spontaneous breaking of time-translation symmetry in a macroscopic fermion system

KB Efetov - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
A model demonstrating the existence of a thermodynamically stable quantum time-space
crystal has been proposed and studied. This state is characterized by an order parameter …
