Hofstadter Butterfly and Cooper Pair Density Wave in Hofstadter Butterfly and Cooper Pair Density Wave in HTS HTS

Hofstadter “Butterfly” Spectrum

“Electron Crystal” in HTS(Vershinin, et al., Hanaguri, Lupien, et al.)

Dual theory supplies the connectionbetween two phenomena. It leads to Hofstadter “magic fractions” f = p/qfor Cooper pair CDW at special x:

f = p/q = (1-x)/2f = p/q = (1-x)/2 !!
