Abstract
The damping of spin waves in high-T[Formula: see text] superconductors is investigated in this paper. We use the spin polaron formulation in the finite temperature (Matsubara) Green’s function method in a representation, where holes are described as spinless fermions (holons) and spins as normal bosons characterized by the hard-core bosonic operators in accordance with the Holstein–Primakoff transformation. The interaction of holes with spin waves is then described by a Hamiltonian, which resembles the conventional polaron problem and came to be known as the spin polaron Hamiltonian. The rate of the damping of spin waves is then obtained from the self-energy term of the spin wave Green’s function at finite temperature. In the limit of zero temperature and low frequency, the spin wave damping was subsequently determined. We evaluated the same quantity by analytic continuation to get the zero temperature result.
