NCCO and LSCO

These two are the stereotypes of electron-doped and hole-doped superconducting copper oxides, respectively. Although they display striking similarities, their differences may be equally crucial in spotting the fundamental mechanism explaining their exotic properties. The latter now receives more and more attention. Here is a latest study that employs dynamical mean field theory, which is a very newly developed powerful tool, in combination with ab initio compuations to explore the electronic properties of NCCO and LSCO.
