Doping dependence of the resonance peak and incommensuration in high-Tc superconductors

Abstract

The doping and frequency evolutions of the incommensurate spin response and the resonance mode in the superconducting state of high-Tc cuprates are studied based on the scenario of the Fermi-surface topology. We use the slave-boson mean-field approach to the t−t′−J model and include the antiferromagnetic fluctuation correction in the random-phase approximation. We find that the equality between the incommensurability and the hole concentration is reproduced at low frequencies in the underdoped regime. We also obtain the downward dispersion for the spin response and predict its doping dependence for further experimental testing, as well as a proportionality between the low-energy incommensurability and the resonance energy. Our results suggest a common origin for the incommensuration and the resonance peak based on the Fermi-surface topology and the d-wave symmetry.
