Flat quasiparticle dispersion and a hidden small energy scale in the 2D t-J model

Condensed Matter 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

A model of weakly interacting hole quasiparticles is proposed to describe the normal state of the high temperature superconductors. The effect of strong correlations is contained in the dispersion relation of the holes, which is obtained accurately using a numerical technique and the t-J model on 12×1212\times 12 clusters. Saddle-points generated by many-body effects induce quasiparticle flatflat bands similar to those observed in recent angle-resolved photoemission experiments. The near degeneracy between momentum states along the XY{\rm X-Y} direction is a hidden small energy scale in the problem, which produces a strongly temperature dependent Hall coefficient, as well as a large Fermi surface similar to those observed in the cuprates.
