“Nodal Gap” Induced by the Incommensurate Diagonal Spin Density Modulation in Underdoped High-Tc Superconductors

Recently it was revealed that the whole Fermi surface is fully gapped for several families of underdoped cuprates. The existence of the finite energy gap along the d-wave nodal lines (nodal gap) contrasts the common understanding of the d-wave pairing symmetry, which challenges the present theories...
