}Twenty-five years on from its discovery, high-temperature superconductivity remains without a satisfactory explanation. The latest studies on the electronic phase diagram of copper oxide compounds reveal why this is so. See Letter p.73
The relative importance of phenomena such as spin and charge (stripe) order and a pseudogap phase are still a matter of great debate with regard to the high-transition-temperature copper oxides. In electron-doped materials, the absence of a pseudogap phase in… Expand

Link between spin fluctuations and electron pairing in copper oxide superconductors
- Physics, Medicine
- Nature
- 2011
It is shown that a scattering rate that is linearly dependent on temperature—a key feature of the anomalous normal state properties of the copper oxides—is correlated with the electron pairing, and an envelope of such scattering surrounds the superconducting phase, surviving to zero temperature when superconductivity is suppressed by magnetic fields.

Upon further cooling, spectroscopic signatures of superconductivity begin to grow close to the superconducting transition temperature (Tc), entangled in an energy-momentum–dependent manner with the preexisting pseudogap features, ushering in a ground state with coexisting orders. Expand
