Various angle-dependent measurements in hole-doped cuprates suggested that Non-Fermi liquid (NFL) and Fermi-liquid (FL) self-energies coexist in the Brillouin zone. Moreover, it is also found that NFL self-energies survive up to the overdoped region where the resistivity features a global FL-behavior. To address this problem, here we compute the momentum dependent self-energy from a single band Hubbard model. The self-energy is calculated self-consistently by using a momentum-dependent density-fluctuation (MRDF) method. One of our main result is that the computed self-energy exhibits a NFL-like frequency dependence only in the antinodal region, and FL-like behavior elsewhere, and retains its analytic form at all momenta and dopings. The dominant source of NFL self-energy in the antinodal region stems from the self-energy-dressed fluctuations between the itinerant and localized densities as self-consistency is invoked. We also calculate the DC conductivity by including the full momentum dependent self-energy. We find that the resistivity-temperature exponent n becomes 1 near the optimal doping, while the NFL self-energy occupies largest momentum-space volume. Surprisingly, even in the NFL state near the optimal doping, the nodal region contains FL-like self-energies; while in the under- and over-dopings (n ~ 2), the antinodal region remains NFL-like. These results highlight the non-local correlation physics in cuprates and in other similar intermediately correlated materials, where a direct link between the microscopic single-particle spectral properties and the macroscopic transport behavior can not be well established.
We study the finite-temperature Fermi-liquid to non-Fermi-liquid crossover in the two-dimensional Hubbard model for a range of dopings using the self-consistent ladder dual fermion method. We consider relatively high temperatures where by comparing the single-particle self-energy and the two-particle spin susceptibility we identify a suppression of the density of states near the Fermi level caused by a quasi-antiferromagnetic behavior that is itself characterized by a long, but finite, correlation length scale which we extract. We compute the single-particle self-energy, and the charge/spin susceptibilities for the entire doping range at relatively high temperature, and also for the half-filled weak-coupling case at relatively low temperatures. We perform fluctuation diagnostics to decompose the single-particle self-energy into scattering
q-vector and bosonic frequency contributions in the spin channel. Within this framework we find that the key contributions to the single-particle self-energy that give non-Fermi-liquid character show complicated dependence on zero, positive, and negative frequency bosonic modes. We find that for a nominal choice of ${t}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ that electron- and hole-doped systems with similar Fermi-liquid character have distinct spin and charge susceptibility and distinct spin-fluctuation diagnostics spectra.

The self-energy is calculated self-consistently by using a momentum-dependent density-fluctuation (MRDF) method. One of our main results is that the computed self-energy exhibits a marginal-FL (MFL)-like frequency dependence only in the antinodal region, and FL-like behavior elsewhere at all dopings. The MFL self-energy stems from the fluctuations between the itinerant and localized densities-a result that appears when self-energy is calculated self-consistently and features an intermediate coupling behavior of cuprates. We also calculate the DC conductivity by including the full momentum dependent self-energy. We find that the resistivity-temperature exponent n becomes 1 near the optimal doping, while the MFL self-energy occupies largest momentum-space volume. Surprisingly, even in the NFL state near the optimal doping, the nodal region contains FL-like self-energies; while in the under- and over-dopings ([Formula: see text]), the antinodal region remains NFL-like.
