Measuring anisotropic scattering in the cuprates

چکیده
A simple model of anisotropic scattering in a quasi two-dimensional metal is studied. Its simplicity allows an analytic calculation of transport properties using the Boltzmann equation and relaxation time approximation. We argue that the c-axis magnetoresistance provides the key test of this model of transport. We compare this model with experiments on overdoped Tl-2201 and find reasonable agreement using only weak scattering anisotropy. We argue that optimally doped Tl-2201 should show strong angular-dependent magnetoresistance within this model and would provide a robust way of determining the in-plane scattering anisotropy in the cuprates.

The Symmetries of the Order Parameters for Pairing and Phase Coherence in Hole-Doped Cuprates
The symmetries of the order parameter (OP) responsible for pairing and the OP responsible for phase coherence in hole-doped cuprates are discussed. We analyze angle-resolved tunneling, ARPES, Raman scattering and torque measurements performed on hole-doped cuprates. We conclude that, most likely, the OP responsible for phase coherence has the dx2 y2 symmetry whereas the OP responsible for pairi...

Hall angle in high-T c cuprates: Anomalous temperature dependence and anisotropic scattering Abstract. The anisotropy of the scattering rates, 1/τ tr ∝ T and 1/τ H ∝ T 2 , implied effectively by the anomalous temperature dependence of the normal-state in-plane Hall angle, cot θ ∝ T 2 , observed in the high-T c lay-ered cuprates is reasoned out to be a natural consequence of the semiclassical Bo...
متن کاملInelastic Light Scattering from Correlated Electrons
Inelastic light scattering is an intensively used tool in the study of electronic properties of solids. Triggered by the discovery of high temperature superconductivity in the cuprates and by new developments in instrumentation, light scattering both in the visible (Raman effect) and the X-ray part of the electromagnetic spectrum has become a method complementary to optical (infrared) spectrosc...

متن کاملTracking anisotropic scattering in overdoped
This article describes new polar angle-dependent magnetoresistance (ADMR) measurements in the overdoped cuprate Tl2Ba2CuO6+δ over an expanded range of temperatures and azimuthal angles. These detailed measurements re-affirm the analysis of earlier data taken over a more restricted temperature range and at a single azimuthal orientation, in particular the delineation of the intraplane scattering...
