Resonating–valence-bond theory of phase transitions and superconductivity inLa2CuO4-based compounds

Anderson, P. W., Baskaran, G., Zou, Z., Hsu, T.·1987·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

We identify the mysterious high-T ``twitch'' transition in ${\mathrm{La}}_{2}$${\mathrm{CuO}}_{4}$ with the mean-field resonating-valence-bond transition of the Heisenberg model of Baskaran, Zou, and Anderson. The structure distortions are caused by Coulomb correlations of the pair wave function. In the pure compound the pseudo-Fermi surface of the spin soliton nests and antiferromagnetism occurs at 240 K. We discuss briefly superconductivity and the nature of excitations in the system.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
