Linear Dependence of Peak Width in χ(q,ω) vs Tc for YBa2Cu3O6+x Superconductors

Abstract
It is shown that the momentum space width of the peak in the spin susceptibility, Imχ(q,ω), is linearly proportional to the superconducting Tc: Tc=ħv*Δq with ħv*35meV. This relation is similar to the linear relation between incommensurate peak splitting and Tc in LaSrCuO superconductors, as first proposed by Yamada et al. [Phys. Rev. B 57, 6165 (1998)]. The velocity ħv* is smaller than Fermi velocity or the spin-wave velocity of the parent compound and remains the same for a wide doping range. This result points towards strong similarities in magnetic state of YBa2Cu3O6+x and LaSrCuO.
