Abstract: | We study a 3-band model of CuO2 with bare bones interactions: hopping from copper ions to nearest-neighbor oxygenst
pd only, a two-body interaction on the copper ionsU
dd only, and an overlap copper-oxygen parameter pd. In the limitt
pd U
dd
1/2, t*=t
pd
2/2U
dd is the unit of energy with 8pd
2 as the only parameter of significance. If the two-body interaction is invariant under particle-hole interchange, the low-lying states (energy O(t*)) can be described by conserved particles and can all be classified. They are quite distinct from the high-lying states (energies O(U
dd)). The dynamics of the conserved fermion-like elementary particles are well described by a modifiedt-J model with extended hopping and nearest-neighbor superexchange attraction. This is a scenario known to be favorable to high-temperature superconductivity, but it must be noted that both the hopping range and the exchange are functions of 8pd
2. Moreover, if the Hamiltonian isnot invariant under particle-hole interchange the dynamics becomes much more complex and possibly more inimical to high-temperature superconductivity. This may provide an explanation for the deleterious effect on superconductivity of very small concentrations of certain impurities. |
