层状高温铜氧化物中的等离子体激元激发

Plasmon excitations in layered high-Tc cuprates

Andres Greco, Hiroyuki Yamase, Matias Bejas

摘要:

受最近的共振非弹性X射线散射(RIXS)实验的启发,我们计算了正方晶格上电子掺杂铜氧化物Nd_{2-x} Ce_{x} CuO_{4}的密度-密度关联函数,包括层间跳跃和长程库仑相互作用.我们发现集体电荷激发不是在粒子-空穴连续体内部实现的,而是在连续体之上作为等离子体激元实现的。等离子体激元模式在面内动量q=(0,0)附近具有相当平坦的色散,当面外动量qz为零时,典型的激发能为层内跳跃t的量级。然而,当qz变得有限时,等离子体激元色散在q=(0,0)附近急剧变化,导致具有由层间跳跃tz缩放的激发间隙的强色散特征。我们讨论了最近RIXS在q=(0,0)附近观测到的模式可以与具有有限qz的等离子体激元模式相关联。

英文摘要:

Motivated by the recent resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) experiment for the electron-doped cuprates Nd_{2-x}Ce_{x}CuO_{4} with x around 0.15, we compute the density-density correlation function in the t-J model on a square lattice by including interlayer hopping and the long-range Coulomb interaction. We find that collective charge excitations are realized not inside the particle-hole continuum, but above the continuum as plasmons. The plasmon mode has a rather flat dispersion near the in-plane momentum q=(0,0) with a typical excitation energy of the order of the intralayer hopping t when the out-of-plane momentum qz is zero. However, when qz becomes finite, the plasmon dispersion changes drastically near q=(0,0), leading to a strong dispersive feature with an excitation gap scaled by the interlayer hopping tz. We discuss that the mode recently observed by RIXS near q=(0,0) can be associated with the plasmon mode with a finite qz.
