Spin Susceptibility and Specific Heat in the d-p Model

Abstract

We analyze the two-dimensional {\it d-p} model, considering both antiferromagnetic spin fluctuation and $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wave superconducting fluctuation. We adopt the fluctuation-exchange approximation in order to derive both normal and anomalous vertices composed only of the renormalized {\it d}-electron Green function and the on-site repulsive interaction among the {\it d}-electrons. Using these vertices, we derive a $t$-matrix as a superconducting fluctuation propagator. Then, we obtain self-consistent solutions in which the system is close to antiferromagnetic instability. In our solutions, the superconducting fluctuation couples strongly with the quasiparticle state and this causes the anomalous behavior in the temperature dependences of spin susceptibility and specific heat.
