A Strange Metal from Gutzwiller correlations in infinite dimensions II: Transverse Transport, Optical Response and Rise of Two Relaxation Rates

Abstract

Using two approaches to strongly correlated systems, the extremely correlated Fermi liquid theory and the dynamical mean field theory, we compute the transverse transport coefficients, namely the Hall constants $R_H$ and Hall angles ${\theta }_H$, and also the longitudinal and transverse optical response of the $U=\infty$ Hubbard model in the limit of infinite dimensions. We focus on two successive low-temperature regimes, the Gutzwiller correlated Fermi liquid (GCFL) and the Gutzwiller correlated strange metal (GCSM). We find that the Hall angles $\cot {\theta }_H\propto T^2$ in the GCFL regime, on warming into the strange metal regime, it passes through a downward bend and continues as $T^2$. Equivalently, $R_H$ is weakly temperature dependent in the GCFL regime, and becomes strongly $T$-dependent in the GCSM regime. Drude peaks are found for both the longitudinal optical conductivity ${\sigma }_{xx}(\omega )$ and the optical Hall angles $\tan {\theta }_H(\omega )$ below certain characteristic energy scales. By comparing the relaxation rates extracted from fitting to the Drude formula, we find that in the GCFL regime there is a single relaxation rate controlling both longitudinal and transverse transport, while in the GCSM regime two independent relaxation rates emerge. We trace the origin of this behavior to the dynamical particle-hole asymmetry of the Dyson self-energy, arguably a generic feature of doped Mott insulators.
