	Superconductivity
		Similar to the hole-doped cuprates, the electron-doped cuprates possess a strongly temperature-dependent Hall coefficient.
		For hole-doped cuprates it has been shown that the superconducting order parameter (gap) has a d-wave symmetry, quite different that most conventional, low-Tc superconductors which have a s-wave symmetry.
		This question is difficult to answer in the hole-doped cuprates because it would take an enormous magnetic field to suppress the superconductivity at T=0 and reach the normal state.

	IBM Research \| Projects \| PAIRING SYMMETRY IN CUPRATE SUPERCONDUCTORS!
		One of the most controversial topics in the field of superconductivity in the last decade has been the symmetry of the Cooper pairing in the high critical temperature cuprate superconductors.
		In this geometry, any closed ring of superconducting material around the central point is "frustrated" for a d-wave superconductor, and spontaneously generates magnetic fields with half of the conventional total superconducting flux quantum at the center (tricrystal) point.
		The cuprate superconductors are composed of planes of CuO

	Unusual Ceramics Could Expand Possibilities For Superconductors
		Scientists have been arguing for years whether cuprates exhibit one type of superconductivity, called d-wave, or another type, called s-wave, explained Thomas Lemberger, professor of physics.
		As the researchers pushed the cerium content of the cuprates to the limit, the magnetic field measurements suggested that the electrons had changed their formation from d-wave to s-wave.
		Lemberger said the scientific controversy surrounding the nature of superconductivity in cuprates will come to a head this summer, as researchers gather in Taiwan to debate which of the two "personalities," d-wave or s-wave, is the true state of the material.

		Much of the work is motivated by the desire to understand the mechanism of superconductivity in unconventional systems, such as the layered cuprate high-Tc superconductors.
		A wide range of cuprate and non-cuprate crystals are grown by flux techniques from solution at temperatures up to 1400 C. Alloying with suitable species to produce overdoped or underdoped material allows the superconducting properties to be controlled.
		The reason for this intense interest in organic molecular metals is that they form a uniquely flexible system for the study of superconductivity, magnetism and the effects of electron correlation.

	The underdoped phase of cuprate superconductors (February 2000) - Physics World - PhysicsWeb
		The origin of high-temperature superconductivity in cuprate materials is one of the biggest puzzles in physics, but the behaviour of these materials when they are not superconducting is an even bigger mystery.
		Cuprates with superconducting transition temperatures as high as 130 K have been discovered, and the cuprate family of materials continues to be of immense theoretical and experimental interest.
		The cuprates are antiferromagnets at low doping, so it is natural to propose that antiferromagnetic fluctuations are responsible for the pseudogap phase in the underdoped region (see Pines in further reading).

	Current understanding of electronic structure and some difficulties with cuprate semiconductors
		cuprate superconductors are reviewed from the perspective of electronic structures.
		On the basis of Mott-Hubbard-type band splitting, the semiconductivity, antiferromagnetism, and metallic nature of the cuprate oxides are discussed as a function of the dopant concentration.
		Finally, the complex nature of the Fermi surface is considered, and the importance of the involvement of both the O 2p and the lower Hubbard band is stressed.

	Tuning magnetic and bond order in the cuprate superconductors
		Given the picture of competing orders and quantum phase transitions in the cuprate superconductors (reviewed in S. Sachdev, Science 288, 475 (2000); cond-mat/0009456), it is natural to search for an external parameter which will tune systems across such transitions.
		In strongly type-II superconductors like the cuprates, above a small lower critical field, a magnetic field perpendicular to the layers induces a triangular lattice of vortices: superconductivity is completely suppressed in the very small vortex cores, and these are surrounded by regions of superflow of Cooper pairs (see Figure 3 below).

	"MOTTNESS" MIGHT HELP TO EXPLAIN CUPRATE BEHAVIOR. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		One of the most studied materials in all of science, cuprates are layer cakes consisting of copper-oxygen planes alternating with planes in which other elements, such as strontium or lanthanum, are stocked in varying ratios.
		Many scientists believe that one of the keys to understanding why the cuprates are such good superconductors in the cold regime is to learn why they are Mott insulators in the warm regime and how such physics manifests itself when they are doped.
		One more oddity about the cuprates is the issue of "pseudogaps." In a superconductor, the energy required to break up a pair of electrons is termed the "energy gap." But in the cuprates, a partial gap still persists even when superconductivity is destroyed.

	Scenario for high-temperature, cuprate superconductivity proposed
		The BCS theory-- developed in 1957 by John Bardeen, Leon Cooper and John Schrieffer (all three researchers were at the U. of I. at that time)-- explains superconductivity at temperatures close to absolute zero, but has difficulty accounting for the higher temperatures that were later achieved with the cuprates.
		Cooper-pair production in the cuprates, however, is probably not dependent upon the crystal lattice, Leggett said.
		"My fundamental hypothesis is that the driving force leading to superconductivity in the cuprates is the saving of Coulomb energy in the regime of long wavelengths and midinfrared frequencies," Leggett said.

	CUPRATE SUPERCONDUCTORS
		The main result is that all members of the family have similar phase diagram (with T and doping on the axis).
		Commonly known as the ‘pseudogap’ this phase it is a conductor but with properties much different from the properties of the usual conductors (generally Fermi liquids).
		It is clear that the electron-phonon interaction that is responsible for the conventional SC is way to weak to do the same in the cuprates — the temperature is too high (this is one of the reasons for the surprise in 1986 — nobody was expecting such a high T

	Nature of Electronic Excitations in Cuprate Superconductors ^* (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		We reexamine the nature of the electronic continuum seen in cuprate superconductors and its redistribution at low temperatures to reveal "gap-like features." Electronic Raman scattering in cuprate superconductors has been conventionally discussed using a model developed for low temperature superconductors.
		This picture is difficult to reconcile with large apparent values of 2 \Delta / kT_c from Raman data and with the observation of gaplike features in underdoped cuprates for T > T_c.
		We present experimental results, including resonance Raman studies, suggesting that the two-magnon Raman spectra observed in the antiferromagnetic parent insulator persist in the superconducting materials and will discuss several implications of the hypothesis that the continuum and the gap-like features observed at low temperatures are related to the two-magnon spectrum.

	13C Kinetic Isotope Effects for the Addition of Lithium Dibutylcuprate to Cyclohexenone. Reductive Elimination is ...
		However, the central evidence for the importance of electron transfer - the correlation of reactivity with reduction potential - is compromised because it is the energy of the transition state for the rate-limiting step that determines reactivity.
		It is also clear that studies trying to understand or control the stereochemistry of cuprate conjugate additions should focus on the reductive-elimination step.
		The mechanism of cuprate reactions is often thought to depend on cuprate structure, substrate, solvent, additives (e.g., TMSCl), and the detailed reaction conditions.

	Cuprate Voodoo. In the Pipeline:
		I was using a so-called "higher-order cuprate" reagent, which you make from copper cyanide and lithium reagents, and it worked just fine for me the first time out.
		Somewhere in the older cuprate lit there is a footnote saying that some of the "HO" jobbies don't go if you use the std off-white septa, and the reddish-orange kind are crucial for success...
		What I found was that cuprates generally do not form very well at -78C.

	The Theory of Superconductivity in the High-TC Cuprate Superconductors
		The Theory of Superconductivity in the High-TC Cuprate Superconductors
		This book is P. Anderson's long-awaited full presentation of his theory of high-T[subscript c] superconductivity in the cuprates.
		The fundamental insight contained in the book is that the conditions for validity of the renormalized quasiparticle theory of metals ("Fermi Liquid Theory") are much more restrictive than had been thought, and are not satisfied in the CuO[subscript 2] planes of high-T[subscript c] materials (among, probably, many other examples).

		The absence of the satellite features and pseudogap in tunneling spectra of electron-doped cuprates sharply contrasts with their general presence in hole-doped cuprates.
		For instance, the coexistence of the pseudogap and superconducting spectra in hole-doped cuprates and the observations of the current- and field-induced pseudogap in electron-doped cuprates suggest that competing orders, manifested as the pseudogap, coexist with superconductivity in both types of cuprates.
		Furthermore, by tuning the ratio of the density waves to superconductivity, the theoretical calculations reproduce the absence of pseudogap phenomena in electron-doped cuprates and the general presence of he pseudogap in hole-doped cuprates.

		Liquid nitrogen is relatively inexpensive and much easier to handle than liquid helium, and this happy phenomenon allows the new copper-oxide, or cuprate superconductors, as they are sometimes called, to be considered for applications that were not viable with earlier superconductors.

		The temperature dependence of the efficiency in the F-I-S samples is also in sharp contrast to that in the N-I-S samples, suggesting significant redistribution of quasiparticles in F-I-S due to the longer lifetime of spin-polarized quasiparticles.
		The characteristic times estimated from our studies are suggestive of anisotropic spin relaxation processes, possibly with spin-orbit interaction dominating the c-axis spin transport and exchange interaction prevailing within the CuO2 planes.
