摘要
Using a d(x)(-y)(2)(2) superconductor in 2 + 1 dimensions we show that the Nambu-Goldstone fluctuations are replaced by dissipative excitations. We find that the nodal quasi-particles damping is caused by the strong dissipative excitations near the nodal points. As a result we find that the scattering rates are linear in frequency and not cubic as predicted in the literature for the "d" wave superconductors. Our results explain the recent angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy and optical conductivity in the BSCCO high T, compounds. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
