Their low-energy excitations are approached in terms of auxiliary particles representing combinations of atomic-like electron configurations, and the introduction of a Lagrange Bose field enables their treatment as bosons or fermions. This theory correctly describes the observed phase diagram of the cuprates, including the non-Fermi-liquid to FL crossover in the normal state, the existence of Fermi arcs below T^* and of "marginal-FL" behavior above it. The anomalous behavior of numerous physical quantities is accounted for, including kink- and waterfall-like spectral features, the drop in the scattering rates below T^* and more radically below T_c, and an effective increase in the density of carriers with T and ω, reflected in transport, optical and other properties. Also is explained the correspondence between T_c, the resonance-mode energy, and the increase in the gap below T_c.4 pages, 2 figuesSuperconductivityStrongly Correlated ElectronsA unified theory for the cuprates, iron-based and similar superconducting systems: non-Fermi-liquid to Fermi-liquid crossover, low-energy and waterfall anomaliestext
