One-electron scattering rate and normal-state linear-$T$ resistivity of the cuprates

Abstract

Here we use a description of the electronic correlations contained in the Hubbard model on the square-lattice perturbed by very weak three-dimensional uniaxial anisotropy in terms of the residual interactions of charge $c$ fermions and spin-neutral composite two-spinon $s1$ fermions. Excellent quantitative agreement with the anisotropic linear-$\omega$ one-electron scattering rate and normal-state linear-$T$ resistivity observed in experiments on hole-doped cuprates with critical concentrations $x_c\approx 0.05$ and $x_{\ast }\approx 0.27$ is achieved. Our results provide strong evidence that the normal-state linear-$T$ resistivity is a manifestation of low-temperature scale-invariant physics.
