Abstract

The quasiparticles of the high-Tc cuprates are found to consist of: polaron-like "stripons" carrying charge, and associated primarily with large-U orbitals in stripe-like inhomogeneities; "quasielectrons" carrying charge and spin, and associated with hybridized small-U and large-U orbitals; and "svivons" carrying spin and lattice distortion. It is shown that this electronic structure leads to the systematic behavior of spectroscopic and transport properties of the cuprates. High-Tc pairing results from transitions between pair states of stripons and quasielectrons through the exchange of svivons. The cuprates fall in the regime of crossover between BCS and preformed-pairs Bose-Einstein condensation behaviors.
