Abstract
Superconductivity in copper oxides emerges on doping holes or electrons into their Mott insulating parent compounds. The spin excitations are thought to be the mediating glue for the pairing in superconductivity. Here the momentum and doping dependence of the dynamical spin response in the electron-doped cuprate superconductors is studied based on the kinetic-energy-driven superconducting mechanism. It is shown that the dispersion of the low-energy spin excitations changes strongly upon electron doping, however, the hour-glass-shaped dispersion of the low-energy spin excitations appeared in the hole-doped side is absent in the electron-doped case due to the electron-hole asymmetry. In particular, the commensurate resonance appears in the superconducting-state with the resonance energy that correlates with the dome-shaped doping dependence of the superconducting gap. Moreover, the spectral weight and dispersion of the high-energy spin excitations in the superconducting-state are comparable with those in the corresponding normal-state, indicating that the high-energy spin excitations do not play an important part in the pair formation.
