Extremely correlated Fermi liquid theory of the t-J model in 2 dimensions: low energy properties

Abstract

Low energy properties of the metallic state of the two-dimensional t-J model are presented for second neighbor hopping with hole-doping () and electron-doping (), with various superexchange energy J. We use a closed set of equations for the Greens functions obtained from the extremely correlated Fermi liquid theory. These equations reproduce the known low energies features of the large U Hubbard model in infinite dimensions. The density and temperature dependent quasiparticle weight, decay rate and the peak spectral heights over the Brillouin zone are calculated. We also calculate the resistivity, Hall conductivity, Hall number and cotangent Hall angle. The spectral features display high thermal sensitivity at modest T for density , implying a suppression of the effective Fermi-liquid temperature by two orders of magnitude relative to the bare bandwidth. The cotangent Hall angle exhibits a T2 behavior at low T, followed by an interesting kink at higher T. The Hall number exhibits strong renormalization due to correlations. Flipping the sign of changes the curvature of the resistivity versus T curves between convex and concave. Our results provide a natural route for understanding the observed difference in the temperature dependent resistivity of strongly correlated electron-doped and hole-doped matter.
