Focus on fermiology of the cuprates
Résumé
Almost three decades after the discovery of high temperature cuprate super-conductors, the origin of their high critical temperature remains an enigma. But it is now possible to discuss the 'fermiology' of the cuprates thanks to the discovery of quantum oscillations, which give valuable information about the Fermi surface and therefore the physical properties of a metal. The aim of this 'focus on' collection is to bring together experimentalists and theorists in order to provide new insights into the Fermi surface of cuprate superconductors. This new direction of research has definitely stimulated further progress in the field of high temperature superconductivity.
