Transport in multiband systems with hot spots on the Fermi surface: Forward-scattering corrections

Abstract

Multiband models with hot spots are of current interest partly because of their relevance for the iron-based superconductors. In these materials, the momentum-dependent scattering off spin fluctuations and the ellipticity of the electron Fermi pockets are responsible for anisotropy of the lifetimes of excitations around the Fermi surface. The deep minima of the lifetimes---the so-called hot spots---have been assumed to contribute little to the transport as is indeed predicted by a simple relaxation-time approach. Calculating forward-scattering corrections to this approximation, we find that the effective transport times are much more isotropic than the lifetimes and that, therefore, the hot spots contribute to the transport even in the case of strong spin-fluctuation scattering. We discuss this effect on the basis of an analytical solution of the Boltzmann equation and calculate numerically the temperature and doping dependence of the resistivity and the Hall, Seebeck, and Nernst coefficients.
