Abstract

The spectral function (or energy distribution curve, EDC) of the gapped antinodal quasiparticles in the vicinity of a quantum critical point between a d-wave superconductor and a state with coexisting superconducting and antiferromagnetic order was examined. As a result, the damping of the holes by low-energy spin fluctuations was properly characterized by the framework of "boundary" critical phenomena.
