A relation between the resonance neutron peak and ARPES data in cuprates

Abstract

We argue that the resonant peak observed in neutron scattering experiments on superconducting cuprates and the peak/dip/hump features observed in ARPES measurements are byproducts of the same physical phenomenon. We argue that both are due to feedback effects on the damping of spin fluctuations in a dd-wave superconductor. We consider the spin-fermion model at strong coupling, solve a set of coupled integral equations for fermionic and bosonic propagators and show that the dynamical spin susceptibility below TcT_c possesses the resonance peak at Ωresξ1\Omega_{res} \propto \xi^{-1}. The scattering of these magnetic excitations by electrons gives rise to a peak/dip/hump behavior of the electronic spectral function, the peak-dip separation is exactly Ωres\Omega_{res}.
