Local particle-hole pair excitations by SU(2) symmetry fluctuations

Abstract Understanding the pseudo-gap phase which opens in the under-doped regime of cuprate superconductors is one of the most enduring challenges of the physics of these compounds. A depletion in the electronic density of states is observed, which is gapping out part of the Fermi surface, leading...
