Collective spin fluctuation mode and Raman scattering in superconducting cuprates

چکیده
Although the low-frequency electronic Raman response in the superconducting state of the cuprates can be largely understood in terms of a d-wave energy gap, a long-standing problem has been an explanation for the spectra observed in the A1g polarization orientations. We present calculations which suggest that the peak position of the observed A1g spectra is due to a collective spin fluctuation mode.

Collective Modes in High-Temperature Superconductors
The role of collective modes in various experiments on the cuprates is investigated. We calculate the neutron scattering, photoemission (ARPES), and Raman scattering intensities below Tc within the fluctuation-exchange (FLEX) approximation for the two-dimensional Hubbard model. It is shown that the large peak in the dynamical spin susceptibility arises from a weakly damped spin-density-wave col...
متن کاملCollective Modes and Electronic Raman Scattering in the Cuprates
In spite of the considerable efforts to explain the experimental Raman spectra of cuprate superconductors, the A1g superconducting response is not yet completely understood. It has been shown that the theoretical description of the A1g Raman response was very sensitive to small changes in the Raman vertex harmonic representations, yielding peak positions varying between ∆ and 2∆ [1]. However, t...
متن کاملRaman and fluorescence characteristics of resonant inelastic X-ray scattering from doped superconducting cuprates
Measurements of spin excitations are essential for an understanding of spin-mediated pairing for superconductivity; and resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) provides a considerable opportunity to probe high-energy spin excitations. However, whether RIXS correctly measures the collective spin excitations of doped superconducting cuprates remains under debate. Here we demonstrate distinct R...
متن کاملSpectral signatures of critical charge and spin fluctuations in cuprates
We discuss how Raman spectra of high temperature superconducting cuprates are affected by nearly-critical spin and charge collective modes, which are coupled to charge carriers near a stripe quantum critical point. We find that specific fingerprints of nearly-critical collective modes can be observed and that the selectivity of Raman spectroscopy in momentum space may be exploited to distinguis...
