Spin-spectral-weight distribution and energy range of the parent compound La${}_2$CuO${}_4$

Abstract

The spectral-weight distribution in recent neutron scattering experiments on the parent compound La${}_2$CuO${}_4$ (LCO), which are limited in energy range to about 450\,meV, is studied in the framework of the Hubbard model on the square lattice. We find that the higher-energy weight extends to about 566\,meV and is located at and near the momentum $[\pi ,\pi ]$. Our results confirm that the $U/t$ value suitable to LCO is in the range $U/t\in (6,8)$. The continuum weight energy-integrated intensity vanishes or is extremely small at momentum $[\pi ,0]$. This behavior of the intensity is consistent with that of spin waves, which are damped at $[\pi ,0]$.
