Deskripsi

The emergence of a giant phonon anomaly in the pseudogap phase of underdoped cuprate superconductors has been assumed to be a consequence of instability towards a charge density wave state. Here, the authors present a theory suggesting the anomaly arises due to large superconducting fluctuations.
