Fermi liquid in the Hubbard Model with an electron reservoir: Normal state of cuprate superconductors

Abstract

It is proved that the ground state under the supreme single-site approximation (S^3A), the dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT), or the dynamical coherent potential approximation (DCPA) is the normal Fermi liquid in the presence of an infinitesimally weak hybridization with an electron reservoir, except for the just half filling of electrons and the infinite on-site repulsion. In the strong-coupling regime, in particular, the Fermi liquid is stabilized under S^3A, DMFT, or DCPA by the Kondo effect, which stabilizes a local singlet on each unit cell, and is further stabilized beyond it by the Fock-type term of the superexchange interaction or a resonating valence bond (RVB) mechanism, which stabilizes a local singlet on each pair of nearest neighbors. The Fermi liquid is a relevant normal state to study possible lower-temperature phases or the true ground state. It is proposed that the Fermi liquid stabilized by the Kondo effect and the RVB mechanism is the normal state of cuprate high-temperature superconductors.

Frustrated Electron Liquids in the Hubbard Model

Fusayoshi J. Ohkawa, Takahiro Toyama

The ground state of the Hubbard model is studied within the constrained Hilbert space where no order parameter exists. The self-energy of electrons is decomposed into the single-site and multisite self-energies. The calculation of the single-site self-energy is mapped to a problem of self-consistently determining and solving the Anderson model. When an electron reservoir is explicitly considered, it is proved that the single-site self-energy is that of a normal Fermi liquid even if the multisite self-energy is anomalous. Thus, the ground state is a normal Fermi liquid in the supreme single-site approximation (S3A). In the strong-coupling regime, the Fermi liquid is stabilized by the Kondo effect in the S3A and is further stabilized by the Fock-type term of the superexchange interaction or the resonating-valence-bond (RVB) mechanism beyond the S3A. The stabilized Fermi liquid is frustrated as much as an RVB spin liquid in the Heisenberg model. It is a relevant unperturbed state that can be used to study a normal or anomalous Fermi liquid and an ordered state in the whole Hilbert space by Kondo lattice theory. Even if higher-order multisite terms than the Fock-type term are considered, the ground state cannot be a Mott insulator. It can be merely a gapless semiconductor even if the multisite self-energy is so anomalous that it is divergent at the chemical potential. A Mott insulator is only possible as a high temperature phase.

Mott metal-insulator transition in the Hubbard model

Fusayoshi J. Ohkawa

The Hubbard model in the strong-coupling regime is mainly studied by Kondo-lattice theory or 1/d expansion theory, with d the spatial dimensionality. In two dimensions and higher, the ground state within the Hilbert subspace with no order parameter is a normal Fermi liquid except for n=1 and U/W=+infinity, with n the electron density per unit cell, U the on-site repulsion, and W the bandwidth; the cooperation between the Kondo effect, which favors a local singlet on each unit cell, and a resonating-valence-bond effect, which favors a local singlet on each pair of nearest-neighbor unit cells, stabilizes the Fermi liquid, whose ground state is a singlet as a whole, in the strong-coupling regime. In the whole Hilbert space with no restriction, the normal Fermi liquid is unstable at least against a magnetic or superconducting state. This analysis confirms an early Fermi-liquid theory of high-temperature superconductivity, F. J. Ohkawa, Jpn. J. Appl. Phys. 26, L652 (1987). The ground state for n=1 and U/W=+infinity is a Mott insulator. Actual metal-insulator transitions cannot be explained within the Hubbard model. In order to explain them, the electron-phonon interaction, multi-band or multi-orbital effects, and effects of disorder should be considered beyond the Hubbard model. The crossover between local-moment magnetism and itinerant-electron magnetism corresponds to that between a localized spin and a normal Fermi liquid in the Kondo effect and it is simply a Mott metal-insulator crossover.

Dynamical Mean-Field Theory for Pairing and Spin Gap in the Attractive Hubbard Model

M. Keller, Walter Metzner, Ulrich Schollwöck

We solve the attractive Hubbard model for arbitrary interaction strengths within dynamical mean-field theory. We compute the transition temperature for superconductivity and analyze electron pairing in the normal phase. The normal state is a Fermi liquid at weak coupling and a non-Fermi-liquid state with a spin gap at strong coupling. Away from half filling, the quasiparticle weight vanishes discontinuously at the transition between the two normal states.

Adiabatic Continuation between Resonating-Valence-Bond Electron and Spin Liquids

Fusayoshi J. Ohkawa

The Hubbard model in the strong-coupling regime is studied by the Kondo-lattice theory. If no symmetry is broken at a sufficiently low temperature in sufficiently low dimensions, an electron liquid is stabilized by the Fock-type exchange effect of the superexchange interaction. Since the stabilization mechanism is none other than the resonating-valence-bond (RVB) mechanism, the electron liquid is none other than an RVB electron liquid. The RVB electron liquid in the Hubbard model is adiabatically connected to the RVB spin liquid in the Heisenberg model.

Strongly Correlated Superconductivity and Pseudogap Phase near a Multiband Mott Insulator

Massimo Capone, Michele Fabrizio, Claudio Castellani +1 more

Near a Mott transition, strong electron correlations may enhance Cooper pairing. This is demonstrated in the dynamical mean field theory solution of a twofold-orbital degenerate Hubbard model with an inverted on-site Hund rule exchange, favoring local spin-singlet configurations. Close to the Mott insulator (which here is a local version of a valence bond insulator) a pseudogap non-Fermi-liquid metal, a superconductor, and a normal metal appear, in striking similarity with the physics of cuprates. The strongly correlated s-wave superconducting state has a larger Drude weight than the corresponding normal state. The role of the impurity Kondo problem is underscored.
