Title: A model of non-Fermi liquid with power law resistivity: strange metal with a not-so-strange origin
(Submitted on 16 Feb 2024 (v1), last revised 22 Mar 2024 (this version, v2))
Abstract: We construct a model which exhibits resistivity going as a power law in temperature $T$, as $T^\alpha$ down to the lowest temperature. There is no residual resistivity because we assume the absence of disorder and momentum relaxation is due to umklapp scattering. Our model consists of a quantum spin liquid state with spinon Fermi surface and a hole Fermi surface made out of doped holes. The key ingredient is a set of singular $2k_F$ modes living on a ring in momentum space. Depending on parameters, $\alpha$ may be unity (strange metal) or even smaller. The model may be applicable to a doped organic compound, which has been found to exhibit linear T resistivity. We conclude that it is possible to obtain strange metal behavior starting with a model which is not so strange.
