Pseudogap above Tc in a model with dx2-y2 pairing

Abstract

We study the anomalous normal state properties of a simple two-dimensional model whose ground state is a d-wave superconductor. Using a self-consistent, conserving formulation, we show that pairing correlations above Tc lead to the appearance of a highly anisotropic pseudogap in the electronic spectral function and the destruction of the Fermi surface. We discuss the similarities and differences between our results and ARPES experiments on underdoped cuprates.
