Doping and the pseudogap

In addition to the characteristic pseudogap temperature, T_p, being different for different properties (figure 3), it also varies systematically with the level of doping, which is varied through the oxygen content in YBa₂Cu₃O_x. T_p is therefore a characteristic scale rather than an absolute temperature value. (Adapted from B Wuyts et al. 1996 Phys. Rev. B53 9418).
