Fluctuations in strongly correlated electron systems

Abstract

High transition temperature superconductors in cuprates exhibit the charge-density-wave fluctuations and the ferromagnetic time-reversal-symmetry-breaking fluctuation in the polar Kerr rotation experiments. We demonstrate that they share the same root of origin, and the underlying mechanism also leads to the pseudogap formation. The pseudogap formation, the charge-density-wave fluctuation, and the time-reversal-symmetry-breaking fluctuation are the consequent phenomena of the correlation. They are the basic notions in strongly correlated electron systems. Keywords: Pseudogap, Fluctuations, Charge density wave, Time-reversal-symmetry breaking, Strongly correlated electrons
