Optical spectroscopy in the pseudogap state: one-component or two-component response?

We discuss the electromagnetic response of high- T c superconductors as reflected in the ab-plane conductivity. There have been two traditional approaches to this problem, the one- and two-component picture. We will show that based on recent data in samples that range from the slightly underdoped to...

Description
Summary:We discuss the electromagnetic response of high- T c superconductors as reflected in the ab-plane conductivity. There have been two traditional approaches to this problem, the one- and two-component picture. We will show that based on recent data in samples that range from the slightly underdoped to overdoped, the one-component model offers a more useful description of the charge dynamics.
