Hidden Charge 2e Boson in Doped Mott Insulators: Field Theory of Mottness
Robert G. Leigh, Philip Phillips, Ting-Pong Choy
Abstract
We construct the low energy theory of a doped Mott insulator, such as the high-temperature superconductors, by explicitly integrating over the degrees of freedom far away from the chemical potential. For either hole or electron doping, a charge 2e bosonic field emerges at low energy. The charge 2e boson mediates dynamical spectral weight transfer across the Mott gap and creates a new charge e excitation by binding a hole. The result is a bifurcation of the electron dispersion below the chemical potential as observed recently in angle-resolved photoemission on Pb-doped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ (Pb2212).
