A Consistent Picture of Electronic Raman Scattering and Infrared Conductivity in the Cuprates

Abstract

Calculations are presented for electronic Raman scattering and infrared conductivity in a $d_{x^2-y^2}$ superconductor including the effects of elastic scattering via anisotropic impurities and inelastic spin-fluctuation scattering. A consistent description of experiments on optimally doped Bi-2212 is made possible by considering the effects of correlations on both inelastic and elastic scattering.
