Despite twenty years of research, the phase diagram of high-transition-temperature superconductors remains enigmatic. A central issue is the origin of the differences in the physical properties of these copper oxides doped to opposite sides of the superconducting region. In the overdoped regime, the material behaves as a reasonably conventional metal, with a large Fermi surface. The underdoped regime, however, is highly anomalous and appears to have no coherent Fermi surface, but only…

The observation of a negative Hall resistance in the magnetic-field-induced normal state of YBa2Cu3Oy and Y ba2Cu4O8, which reveals that these pockets are electron-like rather than hole-like, is reported, suggesting that a Fermi surface reconstruction also occurs in those materials, pointing to a generic property of high-transition-temperature (Tc) superconductors.
