Strange Metallicity and Superconductivity in Electron- and Hole-Doped Cuprates

Explore the fascinating phenomena of strange metallicity and superconductivity in both electron- and hole-doped cuprate materials through this 46-minute conference talk delivered by Nigel Hussey at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the complex electronic properties of cuprate superconductors, examining how different doping mechanisms affect their metallic behavior and superconducting characteristics. Investigate the anomalous transport properties that define "strange metals" and understand how these relate to the underlying physics of high-temperature superconductivity. Learn about the asymmetries and similarities between electron-doped and hole-doped cuprate systems, gaining insights into the fundamental mechanisms governing these quantum materials. Discover current research findings and theoretical frameworks used to explain the unconventional behavior observed in these strongly correlated electron systems. This presentation forms part of the Discussion Meeting on Frontiers in Quantum Condensed Matter Physics, bringing together leading researchers to address some of the most challenging problems in modern condensed matter physics, including the long-standing puzzle of high-temperature superconductivity.
