Abstract

The anomalous temperature dependence of the c-axis resistivity of Sr2RuO4 is analyzed under the viewpoint of a dimensional crossover which occurs from a lattice of perpendicular one-dimensional chains, belonging to different Ru-4d-orbitals, to a two-dimensional system induced by weak inter-orbital hybridization. This system is described by a two-orbital Hubbard model which is treated within a slave-boson mean-field approach to take correlation effects, such as the spin-charge separation, into account. We obtain the emergence of quasiparticle states at low temperature, a result which can be used to discuss the evolution of the spectral density and the c-axis transport within a tunneling approach. For the latter, a crossover between the low- and high-temperature regime is found in qualitative agreement with experimental observations.
