Conductivity of electronic liquid-crystalline mesophases (2008)
Fernandes, Rafael M., Schmalian, Jörg, Westfahl Jr, Harry
We investigate the connection between the transport properties and the thermodynamics of electronic systems with a tendency to form broken-symmetry mesophases evocative of the physics of liquid...
Glassy behavior in systems with Kac-type step-function interaction (2002)
Loh, Kok-Kiong, Kawasaki, Kyozi, Bishop, Alan R., Lookman, Turab, Saxena, Avadh, Schmalian, Jörg, ...
We study a system with a weak, long-range repulsive Kac-type step-function interaction within the framework of a replicated effective $\phi^4$-theory. The occurrence of extensive configurational...
Singularities in the optical response of cuprates (2001)
Abanov, Ar., Chubukov, Andrey V., Schmalian, Jörg
We argue that the detailed analysis of the optical response in cuprate superconductors allows one to verify the magnetic scenario of superconductivity in cuprates, as for strong coupling charge...
Fingerprints of spin-fermion pairing in cuprates (2000)
Abanov, Ar., Chubukov, Andrey V., Schmalian, Jörg
We demonstrate that the feedback effect from bosonic excitations on fermions, which in the past allowed one to verify the phononic mechanism of a conventional, $s-$wave superconductivity, may also...
Quantum-critical superconductivity in underdoped cuprates (2000)
Abanov, Ar., Chubukov, Andrey V., Schmalian, Jörg
We argue that the pseudogap phase may be an attribute of the non-BCS pairing of quantum-critical, diffusive fermions near the antiferromagnetic quantum critical point. We derive and solve a set of...
Morr, Dirk K., Schmalian, Jörg, Pines, David
In this communication we consider the doping dependence of the strong antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations in the cuprate superconductors. We investigate the effect of an incommensurate magnetic...
