Origin of the anomalous Hall Effect in overdoped n-type cuprates: current vertex corrections due to antiferromagnetic fluctuations

The anomalous magneto-transport properties in electron doped (n-type) cuprates were investigated using Hall measurements at THz frequencies. The complex Hall angle was measured in overdoped Pr\(_{\rm 2-x}\)Ce\(_{\rm x}\)CuO\(_{\rm 4}\) samples (x=0.17 and 0.18) as a continuous function of temperatur...

Description
Summary:The anomalous magneto-transport properties in electron doped (n-type) cuprates were investigated using Hall measurements at THz frequencies. The complex Hall angle was measured in overdoped Pr\(_{\rm 2-x}\)Ce\(_{\rm x}\)CuO\(_{\rm 4}\) samples (x=0.17 and 0.18) as a continuous function of temperature above \(T_c\) at excitation energies 5.24 and 10.5 meV. The results, extrapolated to low temperatures, show that inelastic scattering introduces electron-like contributions to the Hall response. First principle calculations of the Hall angle that include current vertex corrections (CVC) induced by electron interactions mediated by magnetic fluctuations in the Hall conductivity reproduce the temperature, frequency, and doping dependence of the experimental data. These results show that CVC effects are the source of the anomalous Hall transport properties in overdoped n\(\text{-}\)type cuprates.
