Fermi-surface-free superconductivity in underdoped (Bi,Pb)$_{2}$(Sr,La)$_{2}$CuO$_{6+δ}$ (Bi2201)

Abstract

We show that hole-doped cuprates can harbor {\it Fermi-surface-free superconductivity} similar to the case of the pnictides. This occurs near the doping at which a new Fermi surface pocket appears in the antinodal region. The change in Fermi surface topology is accompanied by a characteristic rise in spectral weight. Our results support the presence of a trisected superconducting dome, and suggest that superconductivity is responsible for stabilizing the $(π,π)$ magnetic order.
