Since their discovery three decades ago it has emerged that the physics of high-$T_\mathrm{c}$ cuprate superconductors is characterised by multiple temperature scales, and a phenomenology that deviates significantly from the conventional paradigm of superconductivity. Below the "pseudogap" temperature, $T^*$, a range of experiments indicate a reduction in the density of states. Lower in temperature, $T_\mathrm{c}$ marks the onset of a bulk zero-resistance state. Intermediate between these…

### Fluctuating superconductivity in organic molecular metals close to the Mott transition

• Physics
Nature
• 2007
This work argues that a key pseudogap phenomenon—fluctuating superconductivity occurring substantially above the transition temperature—could be induced by the proximity of a Mott-insulating state and finds that a fluctuating regime develops as t/U decreases and the role of Coulomb correlations increases.

Analysis of alloys of quasi-two-dimensional organic molecular metals in the κ-(BEDT-TTF)2X family reveals how the Nernst effect, a sensitive probe of superconducting phase fluctuations, evolves in the regime of extreme Mott criticality.

### Broken rotational symmetry in the pseudogap phase of a high-Tc superconductor

• Physics
Nature
• 2010
It is concluded that the pseudogap phase is an electronic state that strongly breaks four-fold rotational symmetry, which narrows the range of possible states considerably, pointing to stripe or nematic order.

### Introduction to Superconductivity

We have seen how the conductivity of a metal is limited by collisions, which determine the electron mean free path. After a collision, an electron completely loses all memory of its quantum state as

Evidence for vortices (or vortex-like excitations) in La2-xSrxCuO4 at temperatures significantly above the critical temperature is reported.

### Enhancement of the Nernst effect by stripe order in a high-Tc superconductor

• Physics
Nature
• 2009
It is reported that in some of these materials the large Nernst signal is in fact the result of stripe order, a form of spin/charge modulation that causes a reconstruction of the Fermi surface.
