This thesis is devoted to a theoretical study of high-temperature superconductivity from the viewpoint of a doped Mott insulator. To this end, the square-lattice t-J model is analyzed by variational and mean-field approaches. The thesis focuses on the cons ...
Motivated by the recent report of broken time-reversal symmetry and zero momentum magnetic scattering in underdoped cuprates, we investigate under which circumstances orbital currents circulating inside a unit cell might be stabilized in extended Hubbard m ...
The mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity has not been resolved for so long because the normal state of cuprates, which exhibits enigmatic pseudogap phenomena, is not yet understood. We performed careful temperature- and momentum-resolved photoem ...
Though the high superconducting transition temperature (Tc) is the most interesting technological aspect of high temperature superconductors, the complex way in which the spin, lattice and electronic degrees of freedom interplay, makes them of the highest ...
We present wannier90, a program for calculating maximally-localised Wannier functions (MLWF) from a set of Bloch energy bands that may or may not be attached to or mixed with other bands. The formalism works by minimising the total spread of the MLWF in re ...
The precise momentum dependence of the superconducting gap in the iron-arsenide superconductor Ba1−xKxFe2As2 (BKFA) with Tc=32 K was determined from angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) via fitting the distribution of the quasiparticle density ...
In my thesis work I have concentrated on the growth and the in-depth analysis of high temperature superconducting thin films with the central aim to elucidate their electronic properties, predominantly by in-situ angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy ( ...
By means of high-resolution angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES), we have studied the fermiology of 2H transition metal dichalcogenide polytypes TaSe2, NbSe2 and Cu0.2NbS2. The tight-binding model of the electronic structure, extracted from AR ...
