Fermi surface (FS) maps and spectral intensities obtained recently in Nd₂₋ₓCeₓCuO₄±δ via high resolution ARPES measurements are analyzed using mean-field Hartree Fock and self-consistent renormalization computations within the framework of the one-band t-t′-t″-U Hubbard model Hamiltonian. We show that the remarkable observed crossover of the FS from small to large sheets reflects a reduction in the value of the effective Hubbard U with increasing electron doping and the collapse of the correlation induced Mott pseudogap just above optimal doping.

Angle-dependent studies of the gap function provide evidence for the coexistence of two distinct gaps in hole doped cuprates, where the gap near the nodal direction scales with the superconducting transition temperature Tc, while that in the antinodal direction scales with the pseudogap temperature. We present model calculations which show that most of the characteristic features observed in the recent angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) as well as scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) two-gap studies are consistent with a scenario in which the pseudogap has a non-superconducting origin in a competing phase. Our analysis indicates that, near optimal doping, superconductivity can quench …
