Spin rotational symmetry breaking by orbital current patterns in two-leg ladders

Abstract: We investigate the physical consequences of orbital current patterns ͑OCP͒ in doped two-leg Cu-O Hubbard ladders. The internal symmetry of the pattern, in the case of the ladder structure, differs slightly from that suggested so far for cuprates. We focus on this OCP and look for measurable signatures of its existence. We compute the magnetic field produced by the OCP at each lattice site and estimate its value in view of a possible experimental detection. Using a renormalization-group ͑RG͒ analysis, we determ… Show more

“…At variance, other patterns with a set of four LCs (Fig. 6c usually referred to as CC-θ I phase) [18][19][20] give rise to different magnetic scattering selection rules that do not satisfy the measured structure factor with extinctions at Bragg positions where the observed intensities are maximum.…”

“…For both samples and although the magnetic cross section is larger than in superconducting cuprates, the LCs magnetic moment is of the same order of magnitude 1,3-5 due to 1 . c LC state CC-θ I 18,19 . d LC state CC-θ II 8 showing two possible patterns breaking rotational symmetry along the diagonals.…”

“…A diagonal equation in the φ i 's is not recovered and to perform any further analysis we would have to re-diagonalize the problem and then renormalize the model once again, repeating these steps until we reached the fixed point. 37 This is perhaps not totally unexpected as the scattering terms we are dealing with explicitly couple the normal modes. We leave the more involved second order RG analysis to a future work and focus here on what the first order equations can tell us.…”
