In hole-doped high-Tc superconductors, thermal conductivity κ increases drastically just below Tc, which has been considered as a hallmark of a nodal gap. In contrast, such a coherence peak in κ is not visible in electron-doped compounds, which may indicate a full-gap state such as a d+is-wave state. To settle this problem, we study κ in the Hubbard model using the fluctuation-exchange (FLEX) approximation, which predicts that the nodal d-wave state is realized in both hole- and electron-doped compounds. The contrasting behavior of κ in both compounds originates from the differences in the hot/cold spot structure. In general, a prominent coherence peak in κ appears in line-node superconductors only when the cold spot exists on the nodal line.

We study optical Hall conductivity for high-Tc superconductors on the basis of microscopic Fermi liquid theory. Current vertex corrections (CVCs) are correctly taken into account to satisfy the conservation laws, and are performed for the first time for optical conductivities based on the fluctuation-exchange (FLEX) approximation. We find that (I) the CVC emphasizes the ω-dependence of σxy(ω) significantly when the antiferromagnetic (AF) fluctuations are strong. For this reason, the relation σxy(ω)∼{σxx(ω)}2, which is satisfied in the extended Drude model given by the relaxation time approximation (RTA), is completely violated for a wide range of frequencies. Consequently, (II) the optical Hall coefficient RH(ω) strongly depends on ω below infrared frequencies, which is consistent with experimental observations. Interestingly, although σxx(ω) does not follow a simple Drude form due to the ω-dependence of the relaxation time τ, θH(ω) and σxy(ω) follow approximate simple Drude forms since the ω-dependences of τ and CVC almost cancel each other out. In conclusion, anomalous optical transport phenomena in high-Tc superconductors, which had been frequently assumed to be as evidence of the breakdown of the Fermi liquid state, can be well explained in terms of the nearly AF Fermi liquid once the CVC is taken into account.

The temperature dependence of the Hall conductivity is reported at mid- and far-IR frequencies for cleaved single crystals. A nearly simple Drude behavior is observed with a scattering rate that is linear in temperature and nearly frequency independent. The Hall data are in good agreement with calculations based on the fluctuation-exchange interaction when current vertex corrections are included. The σxy quasiparticle spectral weight is suppressed to 0.09 times the band value, compared with 0.33 times the band value for σxx.

We present a systematic study of the dc-resistivity, Hall effect, and magnetoresistance in the normal state of quasi two-dimensional (2D) heavy fermion superconductors CeMIn5 (M: Rh and Co) under pressure. Here the electronic system evolves with pressure from an antiferromagnetic (AF) metal, through a highly unconventional non-Fermi liquid, and finally into a Fermi-liquid state. The novelty of these materials is best highlighted when compared with LaMIn5, a system with similar electronic structures, which shows a nearly temperature independent Hall coefficient and a magnetoresisitance which is well described by the classical Kohler's rule. In sharp contrast, in CeMIn5, the amplitude of the Hall coefficient increases dramatically with decreasing temperature, reaching at low temperatures a value significantly larger than 1/ne, where n is the carrier number. Furthermore, the magnetoresistance is characterized by T- and H-dependence which clearly violate Kohler's rule. We found that the cotangent of the Hall angle cot ΘH varies as T2, and the magnetoresistance is well scaled by the Hall angle as Δρxx/ρxx∝tan 2ΘH. These non-Fermi liquid properties in the electron transport are remarkably pronounced when the AF fluctuations are enhanced in the vicinity of the quantum critical point. We lay particular emphasis on the striking resemblance of these anomalous magnetotransport with those of the high-Tc cuprates. We argue that features commonly observed in quasi 2D heavy fermion and cuprates very likely capture universal features of strongly correlated electron systems in the presence of strong AF fluctuations, holding the promise of bridging our understanding of heavy fermion systems and high-Tc cuprates.

To elucidate the origin of anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in ferromagnetic transition metals, we study the intrinsic AHE based on a multiorbital (dxz,dyz) tight-binding model. We find that a large anomalous velocity comes from the off-diagonal (interorbital) hopping. For this reason, the present model shows a large intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity (AHC) which is compatible with typical experimental values in ferromagnets (102–103 Ω−1 cm−1), without the necessity to assume a special band structure at the Fermi level. In good metals where ρ is small, the intrinsic AHC is constant (dissipationless) as found by Karplus and Luttinger. In bad metals, however, we find that the AHC is proportional to ρ−2 when ℏ∕2τ is larger than the minimum band splitting measured from the Fermi level Δ. This crossover behavior of the intrinsic AHE, which was derived in J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 63, 2627 (1994), was recently observed in various ferromagnetic metals universally by Asamitsu We also stress that the present (dxz,dyz) tight-binding model shows a huge spin Hall effect in a paramagnetic state.
