Nano-Science Center, Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen,Universitetsparken 5, DK-2100 Copenhagen, DenmarkWe propose that the experimentally observed resistivity upturn of cuprates at low temperaturesmay be explained by properly accounting for the effects of disorder in a strongly correlated metallichost. Within a calculation of the DC conductivity using real-space diagonalization of a Hubbardmodel treated in an inhomogeneous unrestricted Hartree-Fock approximation, we find that corre-lations induce magnetic droplets around impurities, and give rise to additional magnetic scatteringwhich causes the resistivity upturn. A pseudogap in the density of states is shown to enhance boththe disorder-induced magnetic state and the resistivity upturns.(May 11, 2009)
