| Sumario: | The impressive number of anomalies discovered in high-Tc cuprates by different experimental probes continued to increase also in the last years, adding more to the complexity
of the general picture. An intriguing feature of this picture is that the energy scales of these
phenomena are very different, spreading from meV to eV. It might imply that the phenomena
are actually unrelated. However, the fundamental concept of strong electron correlations, in
which high and low energy scales are closely connected, could account in a natural way for
the underlying physics and provide an appropriate framework for its description. In this context, the pioneering works of academician V.A. Moskalenko in the last decades constitute a
major contribution to the development of this area of physics and our understanding of the
emerging new materials. Being guided by this concept we present arguments for the existence of internal connections between apparently unrelated anomalies reported in photoemission, optical and neutron
scattering experiments on high-Tc cuprates: low energy kink, high energy anomaly, oftening
of the bond-stretching phonon mode and mid-infrared incoherent absorption peak. Our approach is based on both microscopic and semi-phenomenological models and suggests new
kinds of experiments that could be of importance for an even broader class of materials. |
