Fermi arcs in the superconducting clustered state for underdoped cuprate superconductors

Abstract:
The one-particle spectral function of a state formed by superconducting (SC) clusters is studied via Monte Carlo techniques. The clusters have similar SC amplitudes but randomly distributed phases. This state is stabilized by competition with the antiferromagnetism expected to be present in the cuprates and after quenched disorder is introduced. A Fermi surface composed of disconnected segments, i.e., Fermi arcs, is observed between the critical temperature T_(c) and the cluster formation temperature scale T*.

In this theory, Newton's second law of motion is used to determine the acceleration of an electron in the presence of an applied electric field. Then, its velocity is expressed via this acceleration.
