Temperature variation of the pseudogap in underdoped cuprates

Abstract

We consider thermal evolution of the spectral function A(Omega, T) in underdoped cuprates at T >Tc. We find that in the strong coupling limit, the fermionic Green's function near (0,π) behaves as G^{-1} (Omega) ~ \sqrt{Omega} in the whole frequency range relevant to photoemission experiments. The analysis of the pairing problem with this form of G yields a leading edge gap in A(Ω) and a broad maximum at larger frequencies. We find that classical fluctuations predominantly add a frequency independent term to G^{-1} (Omega). This term destroys the leading edge gap at T =T* (k)$which has a maximum value of about 200K near (0,π).
