Signatures of Hund Metal and finite-frequency nesting in Sr${}_2$RuO${}_4$ Revealed by Electronic Raman Scattering

Abstract

We investigate the electronic Raman scattering of Sr${}_2$RuO${}_4$ using a material-realistic dynamical mean-field theory approach. We identify the low-energy Fermi liquid behavior and point out that the enhanced Raman response at higher energies is a fingerprint of Hund metals. These signatures originate in the two-stage coherence of Hund metals and associated quasiparticle `unrenormalization'. In agreement with recent experimental observations, we find the ${\mathrm{B}}_{1g}$ and ${\mathrm{B}}_{2g}$ responses differ, but our calculations suggest a novel interpretation of this dichotomy. The ${\mathrm{B}}_{1g}$ response is dominated by the $xy$ orbital and the ${\mathrm{B}}_{2g}$ response receives contributions from all orbitals and is strongly affected by previously unnoticed finite-frequency interband nesting. We calculate the vertex-corrections to Raman response and show that their effect is nonvanishing but small.
