摘要：

A theory for the phenomena observed in copper-oxide based high-temperature superconducting materials derives an elusive time-reversal and rotational symmetry-breaking order parameter for the observed pseudogap phase ending at a quantum-critical point near the composition for the highest T-c. An experiment is proposed to observe such a symmetry breaking. It is shown that angle-resolved photoemission yields a current density which is different for left and right circularly polarized photons. The magnitude of the effect and its momentum dependence is estimated. Barring the presence of domains of the predicted phase, an asymmetry of about 0.1 is predicted at low temperatures in moderately underdoped samples.
