Spectral Properties near the Mott Transition in the One-Dimensional Hubbard Model

Abstract

The single-particle spectral properties near the Mott transition in the one-dimensional Hubbard model are investigated by using the dynamical density-matrix renormalization group method and the Bethe ansatz. The pseudogap, hole-pocket behavior, spectral-weight transfer, and upper Hubbard band are explained in terms of spinons, holons, antiholons, and doublons. The Mott transition is characterized by the emergence of a gapless mode whose dispersion relation extends up to the order of hopping t (spin exchange J) in the weak (strong) interaction regime caused by infinitesimal doping.

Spectral properties near the Mott transition in the two-dimensional t−J model

Masanori Kohno

The single-particle spectral properties of the two-dimensional $t\text{\ensuremath{-}}J$ model in the parameter regime relevant to cuprate high-temperature superconductors are investigated using cluster perturbation theory. Various anomalous features observed in cuprate high-temperature superconductors are collectively explained in terms of the dominant modes near the Mott transition in this model. Although the behavior of the dominant modes in the low-energy regime is similar to that in the two-dimensional Hubbard model, significant differences appear near the Mott transition for the high-energy electron removal excitations which can be considered to primarily originate from holon modes in one dimension. The overall spectral features are confirmed to remain almost unchanged as the cluster size is increased from $4\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}4$ to $6\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}6$ sites by using a combined method of the non-Abelian dynamical density-matrix renormalization group method and cluster perturbation theory.

Relationship between Single-Particle Excitation and Spin Excitation at the Mott Transition

Masanori Kohno

An intuitive interpretation of the relationship between the dispersion relation of the single-particle excitation in a metal and that of the spin excitation in a Mott insulator is presented, based on the results for the one- and two-dimensional Hubbard models obtained by using the Bethe ansatz, dynamical density-matrix renormalization group method, and cluster perturbation theory. The dispersion relation of the spin excitation in the Mott insulator is naturally constructed from that of the single-particle excitation in the zero-doping limit in both one- and two-dimensional Hubbard models, which allows us to interpret the doping-induced states as the states that lose charge character toward the Mott transition. The characteristic feature of the Mott transition is contrasted with the feature of a Fermi liquid and that of the transition between a band insulator and a metal.

Spectral properties near the Mott transition in the two-dimensional Hubbard model with next-nearest-neighbor hopping

Masanori Kohno

The single-particle spectral properties near the Mott transition in the two-dimensional Hubbard model with next-nearest-neighbor hopping are investigated by using cluster perturbation theory. Complicated spectral features of this model are simply interpreted, by considering how the next-nearest-neighbor hopping shifts the spectral weights of the two-dimensional Hubbard model. Various anomalous features observed in hole-doped and electron-doped cuprate high-temperature superconductors are explained in a unified manner as properties near the Mott transition in a two-dimensional system whose spectral weights are shifted by next-nearest-neighbor hopping.

Spectral properties of the Hubbard bands

Henk J. Eskes, Andrzej M. Oleś, Marcel B. J. Meinders +1 more

Using strong-coupling perturbation theory for the Hubbard model, explicit expressions are obtained for the integrated weights, energy positions, and widths of the upper and lower Hubbard bands separately, both for the optical and photoemission spectrum. In one dimension all expressions can be explicitly evaluated using the large-U Bethe-ansatz wave function. The k\ensuremath{\rightarrow}-dependent moments for the one-particle spectrum are compared with the closely related two-pole ansatz. The strong momentum dependence of the spectra demonstrates the importance of the k\ensuremath{\rightarrow}-dependent correlation functions in the spectral moments, which are often neglected. In order to estimate corrections due to the neglect of higher-order terms (in t/U), all results are compared with numerical-diagonalization data for intermediate-U values. The sum-rule results show a rapid spectral-weight transfer from the high- to the low-energy regime upon doping, similar to what is observed experimentally in one-particle and optical spectra of Cu (high-${\mathit{T}}_{\mathit{c}}$) and Ni compounds. Such fast weight redistributions as a function of the carrier density are a natural consequence of the strong correlations in these materials. The redistribution of intensity in the optical conductivity is connected with the dilution of the spin system by the added holes. For the one-particle spectrum the decrease of weight in the upper Hubbard band away from half filling can be understood by state counting at U=\ensuremath{\infty}, and the effect is strongly enhanced for small doping by both the first- and second-order terms in t/U. Altogether, the one-particle and optical spectra show the importance of the three-site hopping term. Therefore the t-J model does not represent well the spectral properties of the Hubbard model at large U. The local spin order is essential and determines both the k\ensuremath{\rightarrow} dependence of the one-particle spectrum and the intensities in the optical spectrum.

Emergence and spectral-weight transfer of electronic states in the Hubbard ladder

Masanori Kohno

The number of electronic bands is usually considered invariant regardless of the electron density in a band picture. However, in interacting systems, the spectral-weight distribution generally changes depending on the electron density, and electronic states can even emerge or disappear as the electron density changes. Here, to clarify how electronic states emerge and become dominant as the electron density changes, the spectral function of the Hubbard ladder with strong repulsion and strong intrarung hopping is studied using the non-Abelian dynamical density-matrix renormalization-group method. A mode emerging in the low-electron-density limit gains spectral weight as the electron density increases and governs the dimer Mott physics at quarter-filling. In contrast, the antibonding band, which is dominant in the low-electron-density regime, loses spectral weight and disappears at the Mott transition at half-filling, exhibiting the momentum-shifted magnetic dispersion relation in the small-doping limit. This paper identifies the origin of the electronic states responsible for the Mott transition and brings a new perspective to electronic bands by revealing the overall nature of electronic states over a wide energy and electron-density regime.
