The optical conductivity σ(ω) and the optical spectral weight W provide important information about the physical properties of strongly correlated systems[1,2]. This is the case for cuprates, where DMFT calculations have shown the important role of the quasiparticle renormalization factor Z, which manifests itself in a strong temperature (T) dependence of W at low T. We analyze here new experimental results for the normal phase of two Bi-based cuprates up to 500K. The comparison between our DMFT calculations and the experimental data for W allows for a full understanding of the observed deviation (∝ T4) from the low-temperature T2 behavior in the framework of a Sommerfeld expansion with strongly renormalized coefficients[3].
