Abstract

A spin-fermion and Landau-Ginzburg model for high-temperature superconductors are formulated and analyzed with unbiased numerical techniques. A study of the competition between d -wave superconductivity and antiferromagnetism in the clean limit suggests that the phase diagram is not universal. When chemical disorder is considered, a "clustered state" with short-range order but without long-range order appears, leading to the possibility of a giant proximity effect. The influence of disorder on the spectral function is also addressed, and results are compared to available-angle resolved photoemission data for cuprates.
