8 Terminology commonly used in the literature to describe the energy gap for T << Tc (which may be potentially confusing) Antinodal gap is called the Pseudogap (because it persists above Tc in the Pseudogap Regime) Near-nodal gap is called the Superconducting Gap Is antinodal gap caused by some other Order parameter?

11 * Antinodal gap max increases * gap slope at node v constant * Tc decreases with underdoping If not the gap, then what determines T c? Phase fluctuations destroy superconductivity No part of the Energy gap correlates with doping dependent Tc cf.

46 Pseudogap: More questions; few definitive answers Here are my thoughts: o What is responsible for the antinodal pseudogap ~ 60meV? -- proximity to Mott & spin pairing (RVB, DMFT) -- competing orders are not the cause of the pseudogap but rather competing instabilities in the PG state o Broken translational symmetry required by quantum oscillations -- bidirectional CDW order stabilized in a field ß à FS reconstruction seems the best proposal Harrison & Sebastian, PRL (2011)
