We present a re-examination of the electronic structure and Fermi Surface (FS) of Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O (BSCCO) as obtained from angle-resolved photoemission experiments. By applying a stricter set of FS crossing criteria as well as by varying the incident photon energy outside the usual range, we have found very different behavior from that previously observed. In particular we have found an electron-like FS centered around the Gamma point, and the flat bands at E_F near the M point of the zone are absent. These results are robust over a large range of dopings and from single to double layer samples.

Some materials can have the dispersionless parts in their electronic spectra. These parts are usually called flat bands and generate the corps of unusual physical properties of such materials. These flat bands are induced by the condensation of fermi onic quasiparticles, being very similar to the Bose condensation. The difference is that fermions to condense, the Fermi surface should change its topology, leading to violation of time-reversal (T) and particle-hole (C) symmetries. Thus, the famous Landau theory of Fermi liquids does not work for the systems with fermion condensate (FC) so that several experimentally observable anomalies have not been explained so far. Here we use FC approach to explain recent observations of the asymmetric tunneling conductivity in heavy-fermion compounds and graphene and its restoration in magnetic fields, as well as the violation of Leggett theorem, recently observed experimentally in overdoped cuprates, and recent observation of the challenging universal scaling connecting linear-$T$-dependent resistivity to the superconducting superfluid density.
We study the attractive Hubbard model with spin imbalance on two lattices featuring a flat band: the Lieb and kagome lattices. We present mean-field phase diagrams featuring exotic superfluid phases, similar to the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (F FLO) state, whose stability is confirmed by dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT). The nature of the pairing is found to be richer than just the Fermi surface shift responsible for the usual FFLO state. The presence of a flat band allows for changes in the particle momentum distributions at null energy cost. This facilitates formation of nontrivial superfluid phases via multiband Cooper pair formation: the momentum distribution of the spin component in the flat band deforms to mimic the Fermi surface of the other spin component residing in a dispersive band. The Fermi surface of the unpaired particles that are typical for gapless superfluids becomes deformed as well. The results highlight the profound effect of flat dispersions on Fermi surface instabilities, and provide a potential route for observing spin-imbalanced superfluidity and superconductivity.

This paper consists of two important theoretical observations on the interplay between l = 2 condensates; d-density wave (ddw), electronic nematic and d-wave superconducting states. (1) There is SO(4) invariance at a transition between the nematic an d d-wave superconducting states. The nematic and d-wave pairing operators can be rotated into each other by pseudospin SU(2) generators, which are s-wave pairing and electron density operators. The difference between the current work and the previous O(4) symmetry at a transition between the ddw and d-wave superconducting states (Nayak 2000 Phys. Rev. B 62 R6135) is presented. (2) The nematic and ddw operators transform into each other under a unitary transformation. Thus, when a Hamiltonian is invariant under such a transformation, the two states are exactly degenerate. The competition between the nematic and ddw states in the presence of a degeneracy breaking term is discussed.
There is growing evidence that the unconventional spatial inhomogeneities in the doped high-Tc superconductors are accompanied by the pairing of electrons, subsequent quantum phase transitions (QPTs), and condensation in coherent states. We show that these superconducting states can be obtained from phase separation instabilities near the quantum critical points. We examine electron coherent and incoherent pairing instabilities using our results on exact diagonalization in pyramidal and octahedron Hubbard-like clusters under variation of chemical potential (or doping), interaction strength, temperature and magnetic field. We also evaluate the behavior of the energy gap in the vicinity of its sign change as a function of out-of-plane position of the apical oxygen atom, due to vibration of apical atom and variation of inter-site coupling. These results provide a simple microscopic explanation of (correlation induced) supermodulation of the coherent pairing gap observed recently in the scanning tunneling microscopy experiments at atomic scale in $Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+delta}$. The existence of possible modulation of local charge density distribution in these materials is also discussed.
The intriguing idea that strongly interacting electrons can generate spatially inhomogeneous electronic liquid crystalline phases is over a decade old, but these systems still represent an unexplored frontier of condensed matter physics. One reason i s that visualization of the many-body quantum states generated by the strong interactions, and of the resulting electronic phases, has not been achieved. Soft condensed matter physics was transformed by microscopies that allowed imaging of real-space structures and patterns. A candidate technique for obtaining equivalent data in the purely electronic systems is Spectroscopic Imaging Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (SI-STM). The core challenge is to detect the tenuous but heavy k-space components of the many-body electronic state simultaneously with its r-space constituents. Sr3Ru2O7 provides a particularly exciting opportunity to address these issues. It possesses (i) a very strongly renormalized heavy d-electron Fermi liquid and (ii) exhibits a field-induced transition to an electronic liquid crystalline phase. Finally, as a layered compound, it can be cleaved to present an excellent surface for SI-STM.
