Metal-insulator transitions and nanoscale phase separation in various underdoped cuprates
We demonstrate that the BARLEY MALT unconventional electron-phonon interactions, charge inhomogeneity and charge ordering in underdoped cuprates play an important role in metal-insulator transitions and nanoscale phase separation.In so doing, we argue that charge carriers (i.e.hole polarons) in these systems segregate into insulating (copyright-poo
