Dispersion of quasi-particles in high T _c cuprates

Abstract

The interplay between superconductivity (SC) and antiferromagnetism (AFM) is studied in strongly correlated systems of high T _c Cuprate superconductors. It is assumed that superconductivity arises due to BCS pairing mechanism in presence of AFM in Cu lattices of Cu-O planes. The total Hamiltonian of the system is mean field one and has been solved exactly by writing the equations of motion for the single particle Green’s functions. Equations for the appropriate single particle co-relation functions are derived and the order parameters corresponding to SC and AFM are determined. It is assumed that the Fermi energy ∈ _F = 0 and the renormalized localized f energy level coincide with the Fermi level. All the quantities in the final equation for h and Δ are made dimensionless by dividing by 2t, where t is the hopping integral. The temperature dependent values of staggered magnetic field (h) and SC gap (Δ) were determined by solving self-consistent equations for h and Δ. The quasiparticle energy bands are function of AFM gap (h), SC gap (Δ) and hybridization (V). Then the dispersion of quasi-particles are studied at different temperatures by considering temperature dependent values of h and Δ and varying other different model parameters.
