We present theoretical results for the optical conductivity and the non-resonant Raman susceptibilities for three principal polarization geometries relevant to the square lattice. The susceptibilities are obtained using the recently developed extremely correlated Fermi liquid theory for the two-dimensional t-t-J model, where t and t are the nearest and second neighbor hopping. Our results are sensitively depending on t, t. By studying this quartet of related dynamical susceptibilities, and their dependence on t, t, doping and temperature, we provide a useful framework for interpreting and planning future Raman experiments on the strongly correlated matter.
We present the detailed formalism of the extremely correlated Fermi liquid theory, developed for treating the physics of the t-J model. We start from the exact Schwinger equation of motion for the Greens function for projected electrons, and develop a systematic expansion in a parameter lambda, relating to the double occupancy. The resulting Greens function has a canonical part arising from an effective Hamiltonian of the auxiliary electrons, and a caparison part, playing the role of a frequency dependent adaptive spectral weight. This adaptive weight balances the requirement at low omega, of the invariance of the Fermi volume, and at high omega, of decaying as c_0/(i omega), with a correlation depleted c_0 <1. The effective Hamiltonian H_{eff} describing the auxiliary Fermions is given a natural interpretation with an effective interaction V_{eff} containing both the exchange J(ij), and the hopping parameters t(ij). It is made Hermitian by adding suitable terms that ultimately vanish, in the symmetrized theory developed in this paper. Simple but important shift invariances of the t-J model are noted with respect to translating its parameters uniformly. These play a crucial role in constraining the form of V_{eff} and also provide checks for further approximations. The auxiliary and physical Greens function satisfy two sum rules, and the Lagrange multipliers for these are identified. A complete set of expressions for the Greens functions to second order in lambda is given, satisfying various invariances. A systematic iterative procedure for higher order approximations is detailed. A superconducting instability of the theory is noted at the simplest level with a high transition temperature.
We present detailed results from a recent microscopic theory of extremely correlated Fermi liquids, applied to the t-J model in two dimensions. We use typical sets of band parameters relevant to the cuprate superconductors. The second order theory in the parameter lambda is argued to be quantitatively valid in the overdoped regime for 0 < n < 0.75 (n is the particle density). The calculation involves the self consistent solution of equations for an auxiliary Fermi liquid type Greens function and an adaptive spectral weight, or caparison factor, described in recent papers by Shastry (Refs. (1) and (5)). We present the numerical results at low as well as high T at various low to intermediate densities in the normal phase with emphasis placed on features that are experimentally accessible. We display the momentum space occupation function m(k), various energy dispersions locating the peaks of spectral functions, the optical conductivity, relaxation rates for quasiparticles, and the electronic spectral functions along various directions in the Brillouin zone, and with typical additional elastic scattering. The line-shapes have an asymmetric shape and a broad background that is seen in experiments near and beyond optimal hole doping, and validate approximate recent rece
We study the two-dimensional $t$-$J$ model with second neighbor hopping parameter $t$ and in a broad range of doping $delta$ using a closed set of equations from the {em Extremely Correlated Fermi Liquid} (ECFL) theory. We obtain asymmetric energy distribution curves and symmetric momentum distribution curves of the spectral function, consistent with experimental data. We further explore the Fermi surface and local density of states for different parameter sets. Using the spectral function, we calculate the resistivity, Hall number and spin susceptibility. The curvature change in the resistivity curves with varying $delta$ is presented and connected to intensity loss in Angle Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy (ARPES) experiments. We also discuss the role of the super-exchange $J$ in the spectral function and the resistivity in the optimal to overdoped density regimes.
An introductory survey of the theoretical ideas and calculations and the experimental results which depart from Landau Fermi-liquids is presented. Common themes and possible routes to the singularities leading to the breakdown of Landau Fermi liquids are categorized following an elementary discussion of the theory. Soluble examples of Singular Fermi liquids (often called Non-Fermi liquids) include models of impurities in metals with special symmetries and one-dimensional interacting fermions. A review of these is followed by a discussion of Singular Fermi liquids in a wide variety of experimental situations and theoretical models. These include the effects of low-energy collective fluctuations, gauge fields due either to symmetries in the hamiltonian or possible dynamically generated symmetries, fluctuations around quantum critical points, the normal state of high temperature superconductors and the two-dimensional metallic state. For the last three systems, the principal experimental results are summarized and the outstanding theoretical issues highlighted.
We apply the recently developed extremely correlated Fermi liquid theory to the Anderson impurity model, in the extreme correlation limit. We develop an expansion in a parameter lambda, related to n_d, the average occupation of the localized orbital, and find analytic expressions for the Greens functions to O(lambda^2). These yield the impurity spectral function and also the self-energy Sigma(omega) in terms of the two self energies of the ECFL formalism. The imaginary parts of the latter, have roughly symmetric low energy behaviour (~ omega^2), as predicted by Fermi Liquid theory. However, the inferred impurity self energy Sigma(omega) develops asymmetric corrections near n_d ~ 1, leading in turn to a strongly asymmetric impurity spectral function with a skew towards the occupied states. Within this approximation the Friedel sum rule is satisfied but we overestimate the quasiparticle weight z relative to the known exact results, resulting in an over broadening of the Kondo peak. Upon scaling the frequency by the quasiparticle weight z, the spectrum is found to be in reasonable agreement with numerical renormalization group results over a wide range of densities.
