Electronic band structure of optimal superconductors: From cuprates to ferropnictides and back again (Review Article)

Electronic band structure of optimal superconductors: From cuprates to ferropnictides and back again (Review Article)

While the beginning decade of the high-Tc cuprates era passed under domination of local theories, Abrikosov was one of the few who took seriously the electronic band structure of cuprates, stressing the importance of an extended Van Hove singularity near the Fermi level. These ideas have not been widely accepted …
