Abstract

A mean-field spin-density wave (SDW) analysis of pseudogap in the underdoped cuprates is proposed on the basis of the Hubbard model. It is surprised to find that a simple term will do the trick to introduce the momentum dependence of the energy gap which mimics the pseudogap near point at least. It implies that the pseudogap structure near is not sensitive to the long-range order and will survive leading to the pseudogap phenomenon in the underdoped metallic phase. On the other hand, in the long-range ordering antiferromagnetic region, the mean-field SDW theory holds and the pseudogap structure predicated by the theory should be observable experimentally. Then one prediction is that the pseudogap would smoothly extrapolate between itinerant antiferromagnetic phase and underdoped metallic phase.
