The observation of a negative Hall resistance in the magnetic-field-induced normal state of underdoped 'YBCO'materials, which reveals that these pockets are electron-like rather than hole-like. It is proposed that these electron pockets most probably arise from a reconstruction of the Fermi surface caused by the onset of a density-wave phase, as is thought to occur in the electron-doped copper oxides near the onset of antiferromagnetic order.
