## Figures

FIG. 1.

Schematic phase diagram of hole-doped cuprates. High- superconductivity occurs in the vicinity of an antiferromagnetic phase transition. The corresponding superconducting order parameter below the superconducting transition temperature is of -wave symmetry. In the overdoped region, i.e., , the cuprates behave like a conventional Fermi liquid, whereas in the underdoped regime below the pseudogap temperature one finds strong antiferromagnetic (AF) correlations. As we will discuss below, Cooper pairing can basically be described by the exchange of AF spin fluctuations (often called paramagnons). The doping region between and (shaded region) may be due to local phase-incoherent Cooper-pair formation. Only below do these pairs become phase coherent.

In both directions at energies of approximately a kink occurs, since the velocity of quasiparticles changes.

FIG. 18.

Positions of the peaks in the spectral density versus (energy dispersion) along the direction of the BZ, calculated in Ref. 39 for optimally hole-doped cuprates. Inset: change in the peak positions of in the superconducting state. Note that in underdoped cuprates the kink feature shifts to lower frequencies due to decreasing of . In the overdoped regime the kink feature should become less pronounced and isotropic in different directions of the BZ.

Comparison of the quasiparticle damping in the normal state for optimal doping and the overdoped case taken from Ref. 40. The solid curves are calculated at and the dashed curves refer to . The upper curves correspond to the antinodal wave vector , whereas the lower curves correspond to the nodal one both on the Fermi line. For comparison, we also show in results for the superconducting state (, dashed-dotted curve). Note that for both doping concentrations a linear behavior for larger frequencies and a vanishing anisotropy for in the overdoped case.

The solid curves correspond to the normal state at , whereas the dashed curves to the superconducting state at . In the normal state one clearly sees approximately at a crossover from Fermi liquid behavior to a non-Fermi-liquid behavior for low-energy frequencies as a function of temperature. We show in the inset the behavior of calculated at very low temperatures without superconductivity (, dashed curve). Note that the behavior of the self-energy will become more Fermi-liquid-like in the overdoped regime, and thus the kink feature will be less pronounced.
