Anomalous Spin Dynamics in Doped Quantum Antiferromagnets

Abstract
Finite-temperature spin dynamics in the planar tJ model are studied using a method based on the Lanczos diagonalization of small systems. The dynamical spin structure factor at moderate dopings shows the coexistence of free-fermion-like and spin-fluctuation time scales. At T<J, low-frequency and static susceptibilities show a pronounced T dependence, supporting a scenario related to the marginal Fermi liquid one, for the explanation of neutron-scattering and NMR relaxation experiments in cuprates. Calculated NMR relaxation rates reasonably reproduce experimental ones.
