P. W. Anderson, Science 235, 1196 (1987) Doped quasi- 2d- spin ½ Mott insulator t-J model , Hubbard model High temperature superconductivity as a result of introducing holes in an RVB backround. Anomalous properties result from doping a Mott insulating state.

t-J Hamiltonian Slave Boson Formulation: Baskaran Zhou Anderson (1987) Ruckenstein Hirschfeld and Appell (1987) b+i bi +f+si fsi = 1 What is this model I talked about earlier waying we more or less agree on. Recall that the materials are planar, as ween on the top left, and a single band is necessary as seen on the bottom left. This means, we can consider one electron per unit cell (CuO2 unit) with a hopping amplitude that can be fitted from the band structure calculation and a short range (screened) interaction when two electrons are on the same site. Even with such a simple model, exact diagonalizations are difficult. Even with just 16 site, it takes 4 Giga bits just to store the states. Other RVB states with d wave symmetry. Flux phase or s+id ( G. Kotliar (1988) Affleck and Marston (1988) . Spectrum of excitation have point zeros like a a d –wave superconductor.

RVB phase diagram of the Cuprate Superconductors. Superexchange. The approach to the Mott insulator renormalizes the kinetic energy Trvb increases. The proximity to the Mott insulator reduce the charge stiffness , TBE goes to zero. Superconducting dome. Pseudogap evolves continuously into the superconducting state. G. Kotliar and J. Liu Phys.Rev. B 38,5412 (1988) Related approach using wave functions:T. M. Rice group. Zhang et. al. Supercond Scie Tech 1, 36 (1998, Gross Joynt and Rice (1986) M. Randeria N. Trivedi , A.

Cuprates: phase diagram Unusual Metal More conventional metal (FL?) “Pseudo-gap” Antiferromagnetic Mott Insulator superconductor Underdoped Overdoped Optimal doping

Problems with the approach. Stability of the MFT. Ex. Neel order. Slave boson MFT with Neel order predicts AF AND SC. [Inui et.al. 1988] Giamarchi and L’huillier (1987). Mean field is too uniform on the Fermi surface, in contradiction with ARPES.[Penetration depth, Wen and Lee ][Raman spectra, Photoemission ] Description of the incoherent finite temperature regime. Development of DMFT in its plaquette version may solve some of these problems.!!

Optics and RESTRICTED SUM RULES Below energy Low energy sum rule can have T and doping dependence . For nearest neighbor it gives the kinetic energy. Use it to extract changes in KE in superconducing state

Optics and RESTRICTED SUM RULES <T>n is only defined for T> Tc, while <T>s exists only for T<Tc Experiment: use of this equation implies extrapolation. Theory : use of this equation implies of mean field picture to continue the normal state below Tc.

CDMFT study of cuprates . CDMFT study of cuprates AFunctional of the cluster Greens function. Allows the investigation of the normal state underlying the superconducting state, by forcing a symmetric Weiss function, we can follow the normal state near the Mott transition. Earlier studies use QMC (Katsnelson and Lichtenstein, (1998) M Hettler et. T. Maier et. al. (2000) . ) used QMC as an impurity solver and DCA as cluster scheme. (Limits U to less than 8t ) Use exact diag ( Krauth Caffarel 1995 ) as a solver to reach larger U’s and smaller Temperature and CDMFT as the mean field scheme. Recently (K. Haule and GK ) the region near the superconducting –normal state transition temperature near optimal doping was studied using NCA + DCA-CDMFT .
