Origin of strange metallic phase in cuprate superconductors
The origin of strange metallic phase is shown to exist due to these two
conditions---(i) the electrons are strongly interacting such that there are no
band and Mott-Hubbard gaps, and (ii) the electronic energy levels are crossed
in such a way that there is an electronic energy gap between two energy levels
associated to two different wave functions. The theory is also exploited to
explain (i) the upward- and downward-shifts in the -linear resistivity
curves, and (ii) the spectral weight transfer observed in the soft X-ray
absorption spectroscopic measurements of the La-Sr-Cu-O Mott insulator.Comment: To be published in J. Supercond. Nov. Mag
