Aspect of Spin-Charge Separation due to Antiferromagentic Spin Fluctuations in Technically Nested 2D Metals

TL;DR

This paper investigates how antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations induce charge anomalies in nearly half-filled 2D metals with nested Fermi surfaces, providing insights into high-temperature superconductor behavior.

Contribution

It reveals that antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations cause charge susceptibility anomalies at specific wavevectors in nested 2D metals, linking spin dynamics to charge behavior.

Findings

Charge susceptibility shows anomalies at different wavevectors than spin susceptibility.

Anomalies are caused by Aslamazov-Larkin type contributions from spin fluctuations.

Results suggest a connection between spin fluctuations and the normal state properties of cuprates.

Abstract

It is shown that the charge susceptibility in nearly half-filled two-dimensional (2D) metals, with technically nested Fermi surface, shows anomaly at the wavevector different from that for the spin susceptibility at low temperatures. Namely charge degrees of freedom behave there as if their ``Fermi surface" corresponded to that of ``holes" created in the Mott insulator. Such anomaly is caused by the Aslamazov-Larkin type contribution of 2D antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations. This phenomenon gives a possible clue to resolve the paradox of normal state properties of high-$T_{\rm c}$ cuprates {\it starting}\/ from the Fermi-liquid fixed point.
