Single-particle anomalous excitations of Gutzwiller-projected BCS superconductors and Bogoliubov quasiparticle characteristics

Abstract

Low-lying one-particle anomalous excitations are studied for Gutzwiller-projected strongly correlated BCS states. It is found that the one-particle anomalous excitations are highly coherent, and the numerically calculated spectrum can be reproduced quantitatively by a renormalized BCS theory, thus strongly indicating that the nature of low-lying excitations described by the projected BCS states is essentially understood within a renormalized Bogoliubov quasiparticle picture. This finding resembles the well-known fact that a Gutzwiller-projected Fermi gas is a Fermi liquid. The present results are consistent with numerically exact calculations of the two-dimensional $t\text{\ensuremath{-}}J$ model as well as recent photoemission experiments on high-${T}_{\mathrm{C}}$ cuprate superconductors.

Bogoliubov quasiparticle excitations in the two-dimensionalt-Jmodel

Y. Ohta, Tomohiro Shimozato, R. Eder +1 more

Using a proposed numerical technique for calculating anomalous Green's functions characteristic of superconductivity, we show that the low-lying excitations in a wide parameter and doping region of the two-dimensional t-J model are well described by the picture of dressed Bogoliubov quasiparticles in the BCS pairing theory. The pairing occurs predominantly in the ${\mathit{d}}_{\mathit{x}}^{2}$-${\mathit{y}}^{2}$-wave channel and the energy gap has a size ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}}_{\mathit{d}}$\ensuremath{\simeq}0.15J--0.27J between quarter and half fillings. Opening of the superconducting gap in the photoemission and inverse-photoemission spectra is demonstrated.

Coherent inverse photoemission spectrum for Gutzwiller projected superconductors

Seiji Yunoki

Rigorous relations for Gutzwiller projected BCS states are derived. The obtained results do not depend on the details of model systems, but solely on the wave functions. Based on the derived relations, physical consequences are discussed for strongly correlated superconducting states such as high-${T}_{\mathrm{C}}$ cuprate superconductors.

Hidden Fermi liquid: The secret of high- Tc cuprates

Philip Warren Anderson

I present a formalism for dealing directly with the effects of the Gutzwiller projection implicit in the $t\text{\ensuremath{-}}J$ model which is widely believed to underlie the phenomenology of the high-${T}_{c}$ cuprates. I suggest that a true BCS condensation from a Fermi-liquid state takes place but in the unphysical space prior to projection. The theory which results upon projection does not follow conventional rules of diagram theory and in fact in the normal state is a $Z=0$ non-Fermi liquid. Anomalous properties of the ``strange metal'' normal state are predicted and compared to experiments.

On the high energy spin excitations in the high temperature superconductors: an RVB theory

Jiquan Pei, Haijun Liao, Tao Li

The high energy spin excitation in the high T$_{c}$ cuprates is studied in the single mode approximation for the $t-t'-J$ model. An exact form for the mode dispersion is derived. When the Gutzwiller projected BCS state is used as the variational ground state, a spin-wave-like dispersion of about 2.2$J$ is uncovered along the $Γ=(0,0)$ to $\mathrm{M}=(π,0)$ line. Both the mode energy and the integrated intensity of the spin fluctuation spectrum are found to be almost doping independent in large doping range, which agrees very well with the observations of recent RIXS measurements. Together with previous studies on the quasiparticle properties of the Gutzwiiler projected BCS state, our results indicate that such a Fermionic RVB theory can provide a consistent description of both the itinerant and the local aspect of electronic excitations in the high T$_{c}$ cuprates.

Electronic Structure of Strongly Correlated d -Wave Superconductors

Bernhard Edegger, V. N. Muthukumar, Claudius Gros +1 more

We study the electronic structure of a strongly correlated d-wave superconducting state. Combining a renormalized mean field theory with direct calculation of matrix elements, we obtain explicit analytical results for the nodal Fermi velocity upsilon(F), the Fermi wave vector k(F), and the momentum distribution n(k) as a function of hole doping in a Gutzwiller projected d-wave superconductor. We calculate the energy dispersion E(k) and spectral weight of the Gutzwiller-Bogoliubov quasiparticles and find that the spectral weight associated with the quasiparticle excitation at the antinodal point shows a nonmonotonic behavior as a function of doping. Results are compared to angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy of the high-temperature superconductors.

Strongly Correlated Fermi Liquid and the Normal State of High Tc Superconductors

Ziqiang Wang

New insights into the strongly correlated Fermi liquid state of the SU(N) infinite-U Hubbard and t-J models are presented in connection to the metallic state of unbroken symmetry of the copper oxide planes. The nature of single particle and collective excitations is analyzed and the Landau Fermi Liquid parameters are derived. The one-particle spectral function in the Hubbard valence band is obtained with both Hubbard and Gutzwiller-like features. A simple interpretation of the large incoherent background is given in terms of a superposition of quasiparticles and a collective mode describing the propagation of a bare hole in a large U system. The spin exchange interactions produce very low lying collective modes describing the propagation of staggered spin chirality which soften at incommensurate wavevectors. The quasiparticles are strongly scattered by the low lying chirality fluctuations resulting in deviations from canonical Fermi liquid behavior at low energy scales. Of the same origin, the quasiparticle self energy is found to be strongly k-dependent. It leads to corrections to the dispersion and enhancement of the quasiparticle lifetime in the hole-like region of the interacting Fermi surface. The combined effects are sufficient to produce a sign change in the Hall coefficient evaluated for parameters relevant to the copper oxide planes. We show that these models also exhibit a zero temperature fluctuation driven transition from Fermi liquid to non Fermi liquid phase without the onset of magnetic ordering below a critical doping δc=1/4N, whereby providing a microscopic mechanism for the destruction of the Fermi liquid coherence by strong longitudinal gauge fluctuations which represent the effects of the infinite-U constraint.
