However, unlike ordinary sound, whose frequency tends toward zero at zero momentum, q (that is, as its wavelength approaches infinity), plasmons, except in lower-dimensional systems, cost a finite energy to excite, as creating a density oscillation requires overcoming the long-ranged Coulomb interaction1,8.

The high-energy continuum in Sr2RuO4 is slightly temperature dependent. This permits \(\varepsilon (q,0)=1/[1+V(q)\chi (q,0)]\) to diverge at small values of q, which is required in a metal in which the electric field should be completely screened over long distances. 34, 13791394 (1956).

Rev. This feature is at lower energy and contains less spectral weight than the primary, demon, because of the much smaller Fermi surface volume of band.

Our study confirms a 67-year old prediction and indicates that demons may be a pervasive feature of multiband metals. & Maeno, Y. Lattice dynamics and electron-phonon coupling in Sr2RuO4: inelastic neutron scattering and shell-model calculations. Consisting of out-of-phase movement of electrons in different bands, demons are acoustic, electrically neutral and do not couple to light, so have never been detected in an equilibrium, 3D metal. For momenta q>0.08r.l.u., the mode is overdamped and no longer visible, identifying qc=0.08r.l.u.

In scheme B, we attribute the non-Gaussian tail to a sum of the demon and an unresolvable scheme B mode. In an interacting system, this is no longer true and all 9 9 elements of \({\chi }_{ab,cd}\) are non-zero in general.

Some of this width is due to the steep dispersion of the mode and the finite momentum resolution of the M-EELS measurement. 15.

Although the STEM-EELS data are momentum-integrated, this comparison is meaningful because the continuum observed in M-EELS measurements is momentum independent (Fig. The mass of an electron is only about 1/2000 the mass of a proton or neutron, so electrons contribute virtually nothing to the total mass of an atom. Here we show that it is also neutral and therefore it satisfies all of the criteria for being a demon. The experimental intensity for the acoustic mode is shown in Fig. 4). At higher temperatures, T600K, Sr2RuO4 crosses over into a strongly interacting strange metal phase in which the quasiparticles are highly damped29, the resistivity \(\rho \approx T\) and its value exceeds the MottIoffeRegel limitat high temperature30.
