A Theoretical Approach to Pseudogap and Superconducting Transitions in Hole-Doped Cuprates
Figure 11
The contour plots of (a) the pseudogap (PG) state quasiparticle (dimensionless) thermal conductivity density, (b) the normal state thermal conductivity density, and (c) the electrical conductivity density on the first BZ at 120 K. The relative scale of the plots in (a) and (b) is from −3 to while in (c) is from 0 to 0.8. The dominant contribution to () come from the states corresponding to the Fermi arc. There is, however, no contribution from the antinodal quasiparticles. In the normal phase, the main contributions to are from the portion of the arc close to the antinodal region .
