A generalized Drude model that incorporates these magnetic-field-induced anisotropy in charge-relaxation rates yields another possible signature of Anderson's conjecture: cyclotron resonance at omega = omega(c)tau(H)/tau(tr), where omega(c) is the cyclotron frequency. We discuss the feasibility of observing this new signature.en-USIn Copyrightvalence-bond statetemperature-dependencehallyba2cu3o7-deltaconductivityresistivityscatteringcrystalgapphysics, condensed matterArticle - Refereedhttp://journals.aps.org/prb/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevB.46.8505https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.46.8505
