摘要
In high-purity YBa2Cu3O7. the (weak-field) thermal Hall conductivity kappa (xy). is observed to increase a thousand-fold between 90 and 30 K. The inferred quasiparticle lifetime tau increases a hundred-fold starting below 90 K, in disagreement with a recent photoemission experiment. We show that kappa (xy). exhibits a specific scaling behavior below similar to 30 K. This scaling may bear on the issue of whether Landau quantization of the quasiparticle states occurs.
