Effect of long-range hopping on Tc in a two-dimensional Hubbard-Holstein model of the cuprates

Abstract

We study the effect of long-range hoppings on ${T}_{c}$ for the two-dimensional (2D) Hubbard model with and without Holstein phonons using parameters evaluated from band-structure calculations for cuprates. Employing the dynamical cluster approximation (DCA) with a quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) cluster solver for a 4-site cluster, we observe that without phonons, the long-range hoppings, ${t}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ and ${t}^{\ensuremath{''}}$, generally suppress ${T}_{c}$. We argue that this trend remains valid for larger clusters. In the presence of the Holstein phonons, a finite ${t}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ enhances ${T}_{c}$ in the under-doped region for the hole-doped system, consistent with local-density approximation (LDA) calculations and experiment. This is interpreted through the suppression of antiferromagnetic (AF) correlations and the interplay between polaronic effects and the antiferromagnetism.

Isotope effect in the Hubbard model with local phonons

Alexandru Macridin, Mark Jarrell

The isotope effect (IE) in the two-dimensional Hubbard model with Holstein phonons is studied using the dynamical cluster approximation with quantum Monte Carlo. At small electron-phonon (EP) coupling the IE is negligible. For larger EP coupling there is a large and positive IE on the superconducting temperature that decreases with increasing doping. A significant IE also appears in the low-energy density of states, kinetic energy, and charge excitation spectrum. A negligible IE is found in the pseudogap and antiferromagnetic (AF) properties at small doping, whereas the AF susceptibility at intermediate doping increases with decreasing phonon frequency ${\ensuremath{\omega}}_{0}$. This IE stems from increased polaronic effects with decreasing ${\ensuremath{\omega}}_{0}$. A larger IE at smaller doping occurs due to stronger polaronic effects determined by the interplay of the EP interaction with stronger AF correlations. The IE of the Hubbard-Holstein model exhibits many similarities with the IE measured in cuprate superconductors.

Criticality and Superconductivity in the Two-dimensional Hubbard Model of Strongly Correlated Electronic Systems

Many properties of the two-dimensional Hubbard model have been explored for the model parameters appropriate for strongly correlated electronic systems, especially cuprate superconductors.Most of the calculations are done using a well-established dynamical cluster quantum Monte Carlo method.Using this method, we investigate the effect of long-range hoppings on superconductivity with and without the presence of phonons on small clusters.The superconducting transition temperature, T c , is found to generally decrease with a negative next nearest neighbor hopping, t ′ .In the presence of the Holstein phonons, a finite t ′ enhances T c in the under-doped region for the hole-doped system, consistent with band structure calculations and experiment.The validity of the spin-susceptibility-mediated pairing in this model is studied and found to yield symmetries other than d-wave when a finite t ′ is considered.A new numerical algorithm for solving the embedded cluster problems is introduced, and used to calculate the thermodynamic properties of the model on larger clusters, especially those associated with the quantum critical behavior at finite doping.Our results suggest that the quantum critical point (QCP) which separates the Fermi liquid and pseudogap regions, is the second order terminus of the line of first order phase separation transition in the limit when a positive t ′ goes to zero.For small t ′ , the superconducting dome is centered at the QCP, suggesting that charge fluctuations might have a role in the pairing mechanism in this model.I am very thankful to University of Cincinnati for providing me with the opportunity to pursue my education and the support I received during my program.Part of this thesis is a result of my work as a researcher at Louisiana State University.I am also thankful to them for their support.I would like to thank my adviser, Mark Jarrell, who taught me how to be an effective researcher, provided me with the opportunities to interact with other professionals and fully supported me financially for most of the duration of the

Stripe correlations in the two-dimensional Hubbard-Holstein model

Seher Karakuzu, Andy Tanjaroon Ly, Peizhi Mai +3 more

Abstract Several state-of-the-art numerical methods have observed static or fluctuating spin and charge stripes in doped two-dimensional Hubbard models, suggesting that these orders play a significant role in shaping the cuprate phase diagram. Many experiments, however, also indicate that the cuprates have strong electron-phonon (e-ph) coupling, and it is unclear how this interaction influences stripe correlations. We study static and fluctuating stripe orders in the doped single-band Hubbard-Holstein model using zero temperature variational Monte Carlo and finite temperature determinant quantum Monte Carlo. We find that the lattice couples more strongly with the charge component of the stripes, leading to an enhancement or suppression of stripe correlations, depending on model parameters like the next-nearest-neighbor hopping $${t}^{{\prime} }$$ t′ or phonon energy Ω. Our results help elucidate how thee-ph interaction can tip the delicate balance between stripe and superconducting correlations in the Hubbard-Holstein model with implications for our understanding of the high-Tccuprates.

Fluctuating spin and charge stripes in the two-dimensional Hubbard model in the thermodynamic limit

Peizhi Mai, Seher Karakuzu, Giovanni Balduzzi +2 more

The high-temperature superconducting cuprates are governed by intertwined spin, charge, and superconducting orders. While various state-of-the-art numerical methods have demonstrated that these phases also manifest themselves in doped Hubbard models, they differ on which is the actual ground state. Finite cluster methods typically indicate that stripe order dominates while embedded quantum cluster methods, which access the thermodynamic limit by treating long-range correlations with a dynamical mean field, conclude that superconductivity does. Here, we report the observation of fluctuating spin and charge stripes in the doped single-band Hubbard model using a quantum Monte Carlo dynamical cluster approximation (DCA) method. By resolving both the fluctuating spin and charge orders using DCA, we demonstrate for the first time that they survive in the doped Hubbard model in the thermodynamic limit. This discovery also provides a new opportunity to study the influence of fluctuating stripe correlations on the model's pairing correlations within a unified numerical framework.

Synergistic Polaron Formation in the Hubbard-Holstein Model at Small Doping

Alexandru Macridin, Brian Moritz, M. Jarrell +1 more

We study the effect of dynamical Holstein phonons on the physics of the Hubbard model at small doping using the dynamical cluster approximation on a 2x2 cluster. Nonlocal antiferromagnetic correlations are found to significantly enhance the electron-phonon coupling, resulting in polaron formation for moderate coupling strengths. At finite doping, the electron-phonon coupling is found to strongly enhance the nonlocal spin correlations, indicating a synergistic interplay between the electron-phonon coupling and antiferromagnetic correlations. Although it enhances the pairing interaction, the electron-phonon coupling is found to decrease the superconducting transition temperature, due to the reduction in the quasiparticle fraction.

Quantum Monte Carlo study of Spin, Charge, and Pairing correlations in the t−t′−U Hubbard model

Zhongbing Huang, Hua Lin, James E. Gubernatis

To clarify the effects of next-nearest-neighbor electron hopping ${t}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ on the spin, charge, and pairing correlations, we studied the two-dimensional $t\ensuremath{-}{t}^{\ensuremath{'}}\ensuremath{-}U$ Hubbard model using the constrained-path Monte Carlo technique. We found that a negative ${t}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ suppresses the spin fluctuations near the Brillouin zone point $M=(\ensuremath{\pi},\ensuremath{\pi})$ and the charge fluctuations near the point $X=(\ensuremath{\pi},0),$ while a positive ${t}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ has the opposite effect. For a negative ${t}^{\ensuremath{'}},$ we also found that the long-range vertex contributions to the pairing correlations are heavily suppressed, but the local contributions are enhanced. Over the entire hole doping range studied, the d-wave long-range vertex contributions to pairing dominated those of the extended s-wave vertex contributions. In general, we did not find any tendency for these correlations to grow with increasing system size. We also did a limited number of simulations with an attractive nearest neighbor density-density interaction added to the $t\ensuremath{-}{t}^{\ensuremath{'}}\ensuremath{-}U$ model. It enhanced the long-range vertex contributions to the pairing correlations only for weak values of U.
