A Theoretical Approach to Pseudogap and Superconducting Transitions in Hole-Doped Cuprates

Figure 8

The contour plots of the Fermi energy DOS on the Brillouin zone (BZ) at 9.94% hole doping for Σ_𝑒/𝑡₁=−1.2 which redefines the chemical potential. The scale of the plots is from −0.2 to 0.6. In (a) Γ́₀⁻¹=0.05 whereas in (b) it is 0.30. The usual Fermi arc scenario in (a) gets nearly washed out in (b) due to increase in the disorder potential.
