To supplement our recent brief report on the theory of holon-pair boson approach to the t-J Hamiltonian [S.-S. Lee and Sung-Ho Suck Salk, Phys. Rev. B {\bf 64}, 052501(2001)], in this paper we present a full exposure to the theory, detailed physical implications and predicted various physical properties of high
Tc cuprates. We discuss the significance of coupling (interplay) between the spin and charge degrees of freedom in the Heisenberg interaction term of the t-J Hamiltonian. We discuss its importance in causing the arch-shaped superconducting transition temperature
Tc and the pseudogap (spin gap) temperature
T∗ tangential to
Tc in the overdoped region in the observed phase diagram of high
Tc cuprates. A universal parabolic scaling behavior of
T∗/Tc (or
Tc/T∗) with hole doping concentration is predicted in agreement with observations, indicating that there exists correlation between the pseudogap (spin gap) phase and the superconducting phase through antiferromagnetic fluctuations. Our proposed holon-pair boson theory is shown to be self-consistent in that it not only yields the arch (dome) shape structure of
Tc but also reproduces various other physical properties such as superfluid weight, bose condensation energy, spectral function, optical conductivity and spin susceptibility, including their temperature and doping dependence.
Based on an improved SU(2) slave-boson approach showing coupling between the charge and spin degrees of freedom, we derive a phase diagram of high-
Tc cuprates which displays both the superconducting and pseudogap phases in the plane of temperature vs hole doping rate. It is shown that phase fluctuations in the order parameters result in a closer agreement with the observed phase diagram of an arch shape, by manifesting the presence of an optimal doping rate closer to observation, compared to the U(1) slave-boson theory.
Based on an improved SU(2) slave-boson approach to the t-J Hamiltonian, we derive a phase diagram of high
Tc cuprates which displays both the superconducting and pseudogap phases in the plane of temperature vs. hole doping rate. It is shown that the inclusion of phase fluctuations in the order parameters results in a closer agreement with the observed superconducting temperature(bose condensation line) of an arch shape as a function of hole doping rate.
