Abstract

The comprehensive experimental studies of the quantum oscillations (QOs) in YBa2Cu3O y (YBCO) lead N. Doiron-Leyraud et al. (Nature Communications 6:6034, 2015) to detection of small hole pockets below the transition into the charge-ordered (CO) phase. Their interpretation of the observed energy spectrum imposes serious constraints for the possible origin of electron and hole pockets—both of them should be due to the Fermi surface (FS) reconstruction at charge ordering with biaxial order parameter. However, the results of recent X-ray experiments which reveal the uniaxial CO in the underdoped YBCO make such interpretation questionable. We show that uniaxial CO parameter in combination with preexisting electron pocket at the Γ-point of Brillouin zone suggests a plausible interpretation of QOs associated with small hole pockets in YBCO.

Comment of G. B. Teitel’baum

The present paper is the updated version of our preprint arXiv:1409.4798. Its submission to the regular scientific journal was postponed until the reliable experimental data on the type of charge ordering will be available. In the fall of 2016 when several experimental papers verified that the ground state of underdoped YBCO exhibits the uniaxial charge order, we decided to publish the results announced in our preprint. Unfortunately, it happened so, that the final text was prepared without Lev Gor’kov—the Scientist who will be missed by the whole physical community.

Lev P. Gor’kov passed away on December 28, 2016.
