Fermi surface reconstruction due to hidden rotating antiferromagnetism in n and p-type high-$T_C$ cuprates

The Fermi surface calculated within the rotating antiferromagentism theory undergoes a topological change when doping changes from p-type to n-type, in qualitative agreement with experimental data for n-type cuprate Nd$_{2-x}$Ce$_x$CuO$_4$ and p-type La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$. Also, the reconstruction of the Fermi surface observed experimentally close to optimal doing in p-type cuprates, and slightly higher than optimal doping in the overdoped regime for this n-type high-$T_C$ cuprate is well accounted for in this theory, and is a consequence of quantum criticality caused by the disappearance of rotating antiferromagnetism. The present results are in qualitative agreement with the recently observed quantum oscillations in some high-$T_C$ cuprates regarding the change in the size of the Fermi surface as doping evolves and the location of its reconstruction. This paper presents new results about the application of the rotating antiferromagnetism theory to the study of electronic structure for n-type materials.
