Abstract

The temperature- and frequency-dependent conductivity due to the scattering of oxygen holes by antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations of the copper spins in the two-band Emergy model is calculated. Using the dynamic spin susceptibility obtained in the mean-field Schwinger boson approach, the resistivity obeys a near linear temperature dependence at high temperatures, whereas at low temperatures a quadratic behaviour holds. At the same time, the optical conductivity contains the Drude peak around zero frequency, whereas the scattering rate of quasiparticle appears to be proportional to frequency. Our results are essentially in agreement with experiments, at least qualitatively, and support the conclusion that the normal-state basal-plane resistivity and optical conductivity of high- T c superconductors may be explained by two-dimensional spin-fluctuation scattering in the Fermi-liquid picture.
