Abstract

Description

We discuss how the quantum-critical-point scenario for high-T_c superconductors with density-driven charge order or stripe formation finds support from recent EXAFS experiments. Our phase diagram has the interesting feature, which is also suggested by the EXAFS experiments, that some cuprates may not show well-formed stripe phase. We also consider the extensions of the scenario to include the interesting possibility of first-order transitions which call for further experimental and theoretical investigation.
