Infrared Hall angle in the $d$-density wave state: a comparison of theory and experiment

Superconductivity 2007-05-23 v2 Strongly Correlated Electrons

Abstract

Infrared Hall measurements in the pseudogap phase of the high-TcT_c cuprates are addressed within the framework of the ordered dd-density wave state. The zero-temperature Hall frequency ωH\omega_H is computed as a function of the hole-doping xx. Our results are consistent with recent experiments in absolute units. We also discuss the signature of the quantum critical point in the Hall frequency at a critical doping inside the superconducting dome, which can be tested in future experiments.
