Close inspection of plasmon excitations in cuprate superconductors

Abstract

Recently resonant inelastic x-ray scattering experiments reported fine details of the charge excitations around the in-plane momentum ${\mathbf{q}}_{\parallel }=(0,0)$ for various doping rates in electron-doped cuprates $\mathrm{L}{\mathrm{a}}_{2-\mathrm{x}}\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{e}}_{\mathrm{x}}\mathrm{Cu}{\mathrm{O}}_4$. We find that those new experimental data are well captured by acoustic-like plasmon excitations in a microscopic study of the layered $t$-$J$ model with the long-range Coulomb interaction. The acoustic-like plasmon is not a usual plasmon typical to the two-dimensional system, but has a small gap proportional to the interlayer hopping $t_z$.
