Strength of the interactions in $YB{a}_{2}C{u}_3{O}_{6.7}$ obtained from the inelastic neutron-scattering measurements

Abstract

It is widely accepted that: (i) the angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) data produce evidences for the opening of a d-wave pairing gap in cuprates compounds described at low energies and temperatures by a BCS theory, and (ii) the basic pairing mechanism arises from the antiferromagnetic exchange correlations, but the charge fluctuations associated with double occupancy of a site also play an essential role in doped systems. The simplest model that is consistent with the two statements is the $t$-$U$-$V$-$J$ model. We have shown that the inelastic neutron scattering data on $YB{a}_{2}C{u}_3{O}_{6.7}$ [Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{83}, 608 (1999)] combined with the corresponding ARPES data allow us to obtain the strength of the on-site repulsive interaction $U$, as well as the strengths of the spin-independent attractive interaction $V$ and the spin-dependent antiferromagnetic interaction $J$.
