Abstract:The mechanism of spin polaron formation in moderately doped cuprates is discussed. These objects represent holes embedded into heavy clouds formed by spin fluctuations. Wave functions of spin polarons are spatially confined due to the increase in the exchange energy which is induced by hole motion giving rise to the creation of spin fluctuations. These wave functions are eigenstates of an "unperturbed" Hamiltonian which is defined by processes responsible for the tendency toward confinement. The eigenstates tr… Show more
