Abstract

We calculate momentum-dependent self-energies due to self-consistent spin and charge-density fluctuations within a single-band Hubbard model for hole-doped cuprates. We find that the dynamical density instability (mainly paramagnonlike spin fluctuations) arising from the van Hove singularity at the antinodal point produces strongly anisotropic mass renormalization, increasing from the nodal direction to the antinodal one. This gives rise to a coherent Fermi arc pattern in which although the self-energy dressed Green's function has poles at all Fermi momenta, the corresponding spectral weight decreases from the nodal to the antinodal direction. We study the feedback effects of the anisotropic self-energy and Fermi arc on the charge-density wave (CDW) instability by direct computations of charge susceptibility and the quasiparticle interference pattern. We find that that due to the loss of spectral weight at the antinodal points, the CDW nesting weakens, and the corresponding hot spot shifts from the antinodal region to the tip of the Fermi arc below the magnetic Brillouin zone. The results are in good agreement with experiments, reproducing the observed slow doping dependence of the CDW wave vector. Our investigation therefore provides a mechanism for the Fermi arc in cuprates, with various testable predictions such as a sharp, first-order-like phase transition of the CDW order on the higher-doping side.
