Broadening and sharpening of the Drude peak through antiferromagnetic fluctuations

Abstract

Antiferromagnetic or charge density wave fluctuations couple with light through the recently discovered π-ton contribution to the optical conductivity, and quite generically constitute the dominant vertex corrections in low-dimensional correlated electron systems. Here we study the arguably simplest version of these $\pi$-tons based on the semi-analytical random phase approximation (RPA) ladder in the transversal particle-hole channel. The vertex corrections to the optical conductivity are calculated directly for real frequencies. We validate that the RPA qualitatively reproduces the π-ton vertex corrections to the Drude peak in the Hubbard model. Depending on the temperature we find vertex corrections to broaden or sharpen the Drude peak.
