Here we study with cellular dynamical mean-field theory the Emery model set in the charge-transfer insulator regime, and dope it with either electrons or holes. We consider the normal state only and focus on the doping evolution of the orbital character of the dopants and on the nature of the doping-driven transition. Regarding the orbital character of the dopants, we found an electron-hole asymmetry: doped electrons mostly enter the copper orbitals, whereas doped holes mostly enter the oxygen orbitals. Regarding the nature of the doping-driven transition, we found no qualitative electron-hole asymmetry: On either electron or hole doping, there is a two-stage transition from a charge-transfer insulator to a strongly correlated pseudogap and then to a metal. This shows that a strongly correlated pseudogap is an emergent feature of doped correlated insulators in two dimensions, in qualitative agreement with recent experiments on ambipolar Sr</a:mi>1</a:mn>−</a:mo>x</a:mi></a:mrow></a:msub>La</a:mi>x</a:mi></a:msub>CuO</a:mi>2</a:mn>+</a:mo>y</a:mi></a:mrow></a:msub></a:mrow></a:math> cuprate films. Our results indicate that merely doping with holes or electrons a charge-transfer insulator is not sufficient for explaining the electron-hole asymmetry observed in the normal state phase diagram of cuprates. Our work reinforces the view that actual hole-doped cuprates are more correlated than their electron-doped counterparts. <jats:supplementary-material> <jats:copyright-statement>Published by the American Physical Society</jats:copyright-statement> <jats:copyright-year>2025</jats:copyright-year> </jats:permissions> </jats:supplementary-material>","PeriodicalId":20082,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review B","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142936262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite comprehensive access to spin-wave properties, BLS spectroscopy suffers from the limited wave number of detectable spin waves and the typically relatively low sensitivity. In this paper, we present the results of numerical simulations based on the recently developed analytical model describing plasmon-enhanced BLS. Effective susceptibility is defined for a single plasmonic nanoparticle in the shape of an ellipsoid of rotation, for the sandwiched plasmonic nanoparticles separated by a dielectric spacer, as well as for the array of plasmonic resonators on the surface of a magnetic film. It is shown that the eccentricity of the metal nanoparticles, describing their shape, plays a leading role in enhancing the BLS signal. The optimal conditions for BLS enhancement are numerically defined for gold and silver plasmon systems for photons of different energies. The presented results define the roadmap for the experimental realization of plasmon-enhanced BLS spectroscopy. <jats:supplementary-material> <jats:copyright-statement>Published by the American Physical Society</jats:copyright-statement> <jats:copyright-year>2025</jats:copyright-year> </jats:permissions> </jats:supplementary-material>","PeriodicalId":20082,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review B","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142936052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Upon bosonization, this sublattice dependence directly translates to a nonstandard sine-Gordon-type term responsible for the non-Hermitian matrix structure of the single-particle Green function (GF). As the structure in the lifetime of excitations does not commute with the underlying free Bloch Hamiltonian, non-Hermitian topological properties of the single-particle GF emerge—despite our Hermitian model Hamiltonian. Both finite temperature and a nontrivial Luttinger parameter K</a:mi>≠</a:mo>1</a:mn></a:mrow></a:math> are required for the formation of EPs, and their topological stability in one spatial dimension is guaranteed by the chiral symmetry of our model. In the presence of the aforementioned sine-Gordon term, we resort to leading-order perturbation theory (PT) to compute the single-particle GF. All qualitative findings derived within LL theory are corroborated by comparison to both numerical simulations within the conserving second Born approximation and, for weak interactions and high temperatures, by fermionic plain PT.
