Raman electronic continuum in a spin-fluctuation model for superconductivity
D. Branch,J. P. Carbotte +1 more
TL;DR: The Raman electronic continuum is calculated in an antiferromagnetic spin-fluctuation model of the superconducting state using a tight-binding model with, up to second nearest neighbors is used and in one case with effective mass anisotropy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Doping and van hove singularity dependence of raman background in dx2-y2 superconductors
D. Branch,Carbotte Jp +1 more
TL;DR: The relationship between peaks in the Raman spectrum for three often discussed photon geometries and the gap is studied and no simple relationship exists, although the {ital B}{sub 1{ital g}} mode can show many of the features of the quasiparticle density of states.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inelastic scattering in normal and superconducting Raman response
D. Branch,J. P. Carbotte +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of strongly anisotropic inelastic scattering on the electron Raman response was investigated in the nearly antiferromagnetic Fermi liquid model, where both normal and superconducting states were considered, accounting fully for the momentum and frequency dependence of the resulting selfenergy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Josephson current in an anisotropic d-wave model
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a simple anisotropic tight binding model in qualitative agreement with the measured penetration depths and a standard model for the spin susceptibility to obtain, on solution of the BCS gap equations, a gap function with a mainly d-wave symmetry but with a minor extended s-wave component.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spin fluctuations in the normal state optical conductivity
D. Branch,J. P. Carbotte +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a theory for the structure present in the normal state optical conductivity that reflects the underlying spin fluctuations for a system in which the charge carriers interact through the antiferromagnetic spin susceptibility.
