Universal Planckian dissipation in the strange metal state of the cuprates
Arkady Shekhter, B. J. Ramshaw, M. K. Chan, N. Harrison
A major puzzle in high-Tc superconductivity is the origin of the “Planckian” relaxation rate 1/τ underlying the linear-in-temperature resistivity in the strange-metal state, which persists up to very high temperatures. Implicit in theoretical discussions is the assumption that 1/…
