Role of many phonon modes on the high-temperature linear-in-$T$ electronic resistivity

Published 14 Mar 2024 in cond-mat.mes-hall | (2403.09890v2)

Abstract: We theoretically consider the possibility that phonons may be playing a role in the observed linear-in-$T$ resistivity in cuprates by focusing on the obvious question: How can phonon scattering be consistent with a linear-in-$T$ resistivity with a constant slope given that cuprates have many phonon modes with different energies and electron-phonon couplings (e.g. 21 phonon modes for LSCO)? We show using an arbitrarily large number of independent phonon modes that, within a model Boltzmann transport theory, the emergent high-$T$ linear-in-$T$ resistivity manifests an approximately constant slope independent of the number of phonon modes except in some fine-tuned narrow temperature regimes. We also comment on the quantitative magnitude of the linear-in-$T$ resistivity in cuprates pointing out the constraints on the effective electron-phonon coupling necessary to produce the observed resistivity.
