Anisotropy of acceptor states in lightly doped cuprate superconductors

Abstract:
We investigate the role of short wavelength antiferromagnetic correlations in the spatial structure of acceptor states doped into a two-dimensional Mott-Hubbard antiferromagnetic insulator. We extend the traditional effective mass approximation, by using the Green's function formalism and its spectral representation, and we show that when the electronic scattering at the ordering wavevector Q = (π,π) is strong enough to produce a momentum dependent scattering rate, Γ(k), the corresponding acceptor state envelope wavefunction becomes spatially anisotropic. Finally, we discuss the connection between our results and photoemission spectra in lightly doped La(2-x)Sr(x)CuO(4).

Metals such as copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), or lead (Pb) have low resistivity and feature conduction bands that are either not fully occupied or overlap with the valence band, making a bandgap non-existent. This allows electrons in the highest energy levels of the valence band to easily transition to the conduction band upon gaining...

When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...

Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
