Quasiparticle bands and superconductivity in bilayer cuprates

Condensed Matter 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We analyze the generic features of the energy spectrum for two coupled CuO2_2 layers with a realistic extended Hubbard model. The quasiparticle bands exhibit flat regions near X(Y) points in the Brillouin zone with a large reduction of the bonding-antibonding splitting, and pinning of extended van-Hove singularity to the Fermi level, which is more efficient for a bi-layers than for a single layer. In contrast to the results with simpler models, the superconducting temperature for dx2y2_{x^2-y^2} pairing is not lowered by the bi-layer hopping.
