Umklapp scattering as the origin of -linear resistivity in the normal state of high- cuprate superconductors
Abstract
Here, the high-temperature normal state of the unconventional cuprate superconductors has resistivity linear in temperature T, which persists to values well beyond the Mott-Ioffe-Regel upper bound. At low temperatures, within the pseudogap phase, the resistivity is instead quadratic in T, as would be expected from Fermi liquid theory. Developing an understanding of these normal phases of the cuprates is crucial to explain the unconventional superconductivity. We present a simple explanation for this behavior, in terms of the umklapp scattering of electrons. This fits within the general picture emerging from functional renormalization group calculations that spurred the Yang-Rice-Zhang ansatz: Umklapp scattering is at the heart of the behavior in the normal phase.
