Abstract

Current vertex correction (CVC), the back-flow-like correction to the current, comes from conservation laws, and the CVC due to electron correlation contains information about many-body effects. However, it has been little understood how the CVC due to electron correlation affects the charge transports of a correlated multiorbital system. To improve this situation, I studied the inplane resistivity, ρab\rho_{ab}, and the Hall coefficient in the weak-field limit, RHR_{\textrm{H}}, in addition to the magnetic properties and the electronic structure, for a t2gt_{2g}-orbital Hubbard model on a square lattice in a paramagnetic state away from or near an antiferromagnetic (AF) quantum-critical point (QCP) in the fluctuation-exchange (FLEX) approximation with the CVCs arising from the self-energy (Σ\Sigma), the Maki-Thompson (MT) irreducible four-point vertex function, and the main terms of the Aslamasov-Larkin (AL) one. Then, I found three main results about the CVCs. First, the main terms of the AL CVC does not qualitatively change the results obtained in the FLEX approximation with the Σ\Sigma CVC and the MT CVC. Second, ρab\rho_{ab} and RHR_{\textrm{H}} near the AF QCP have high-temperature region, governed mainly by the Σ\Sigma CVC, and low-temperature region, governed mainly by the Σ\Sigma CVC and the MT CVC. Third, in case away from the AF QCP, the MT CVC leads to a considerable effect on only RHR_{\textrm{H}} at low temperatures, although RHR_{\textrm{H}} at high temperatures and ρab\rho_{ab} at all temperatures considered are sufficiently described by including only the Σ\Sigma CVC. I also achieved the qualitative agreement with several experiments of Sr2_{2}RuO4_{4} or Sr2_{2}Ru0.975_{0.975}Ti0.025_{0.025}O4_{4}. Moreover, I showed several better points of this theory than other theories.
