Nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate near a two-dimensional antiferromagnetic quantum critical point
Abstract
We study the effects of zero-point spin fluctuations on the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1 around a two-dimensional antiferromagnetic quantum critical point in the self-consistent renormalization theory. For a weak mode-mode coupling constant $y_1 < $ 0.1, the finite temperature behavior of 1/T1 across the quantum critical point resembles that for only the thermal spin fluctuations. For a strong mode-mode coupling constant $y_1 > $ 0.1, 1/T1 takes its local maximum as a function of temperature in the nearly antiferromagnetic state. Experimental observation of the local maximum in the 63Cu nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1 of lightly-doped superconductors La2−xSrxCuO4 with x = 0.06-0.10 is associated with the effects of the zero-point spin fluctuations. The two-dimensional magnetic quantum critical point and the role of the zero-point spin fluctuations are discussed in the electron spin dynamics of underdoped superconductors La2−xSrxCuO4.
