Abstract

Changes in the electronic structure in the normal phase of high-T c superconductors (HTSCs), viz., layered cuprates, are considered. The results of LDA + GTB calculations of the electron structure and the Fermi surface of La2 − x Sr x CuO4 one-layer cuprates with allowance for strong correlations are compared with ARPES and quantum oscillations data. Two critical points x c1 and x c2 are discovered at which the rear-rangement of the Fermi surface takes place. In the vicinity of these points, changes in the thermodynamic properties at low temperatures are determined using the Lifshits ideology concerning 2.5-order quantum phase transitions. A singularity δ(C/T) ∝ (x − x e )1/2 in the electron heat capacity agrees well with the available experimental data in the vicinity of x c1 ≈ 0.15. Sign reversal of the Hall constant upon doping is also considered qualitatively.
