Finite-energy spectral function of an anisotropic two-dimensional system of coupled Hubbard chains

Abstract

We study the crossover from the one-dimensional to the two-dimensional Hubbard model in the photoemission spectra of weakly coupled chains. The chains with on-site repulsion are treated using the spin-charge factorized wave function, known to provide an accurate description of the dynamics of the model in the strong coupling limit, while the hoppings between the chains are considered as a perturbation. We calculate dynamical spectral functions at all energies in the random-phase approximation by resuming an infinite set of diagrams. Even though the hoppings drive the system from a fractionalized Luttinger-liquid-like system to a Fermi-liquid-like system at low energies, significant characteristics of the one-dimensional system remain in the two-dimensional system. Furthermore, we find that, of introducing (frustrated) hoppings beyond the nearest-neighbor one, the interference effects increase the energy and momentum range of the one-dimensional character.

Crossover to Fermi-liquid behavior for weakly coupled Luttinger liquids in the anisotropic large-dimension limit

Enrico Arrigoni

We study the problem of the crossover from one- to higher-dimensional metals by considering an array of Luttinger liquids (one-dimensional chains) coupled by a weak interchain hopping ${t}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}.$ We evaluate the exact asymptotic low-energy behavior of the self-energy in the anisotropic infinite-dimension limit. This limit extends the dynamical mean-field concept to the case of a chain embedded in a self-consistent medium. The system flows to a Fermi-liquid fixed point for energies below the dimensional crossover temperature, and the anomalous exponent \ensuremath{\alpha} renormalizes to zero, in the case of equal spin and charge velocities. In particular, the single-particle spectral function shows sharp quasiparticle peaks with nonvanishing weight along the whole Fermi surface, in contrast to the lowest-order result. Our result is obtained by carrying out a resummation of all diagrams of the expansion in ${t}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}$ contributing to the anisotropic $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{D}\ensuremath{\infty}$ limit. This is done by solving, in an almost completely analytic way, an asymptotically exact recursive equation for the renormalized vertices, within a skeleton expansion. Our outcome shows that perturbation expansions in ${t}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}$ restricted to lowest orders are unreliable below the crossover temperature. The extension to finite dimensions is discussed. This work extends our recent letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 83, 128 (1999)], and includes all mathematical details.

Ferromagnetic transition and phase diagram of the one-dimensional Hubbard model with next-nearest-neighbor hopping

S. Daul, R. M. Noack

We study the phase diagram of the one-dimensional Hubbard model with next-nearest-neighbor hopping using exact diagonalization, the density-matrix renormalization group, the Edwards variational ansatz, and an adaptation of weak-coupling calculations on the two-chain Hubbard model. We find that a substantial region of the strong-coupling phase diagram is ferromagnetic, and that three physically different limiting cases are connected in one ferromagnetic phase. At a point in the phase diagram at which there are two Fermi points at weak coupling, we study carefully the phase transition from the paramagnetic state to the fully polarized one as a function of the on-site Coulomb repulsion. We present evidence that the transition is second order and determine the critical exponents numerically. In this parameter regime, the system can be described as a Luttinger liquid at weak coupling. We extract the Luttinger-liquid parameters and show how their behavior differs from that of the nearest-neighbor Hubbard model. The general weak-coupling phase diagram can be mapped onto that of the two-chain Hubbard model. We exhibit explicitly the adapted phase diagram and determine its validity by numerically calculating spin and charge gaps using the density-matrix renormalization group.

Finite-temperature spectral functions of strongly correlated one-dimensional electron systems

Karlo Penc, Mohammed Serhan

The spectral functions of $\mathrm{tJ}$ and ${\mathrm{tJ}}_{\mathrm{XY}}$ models in the limit of $J/t\ensuremath{\rightarrow}0$ and at finite temperatures $T\ensuremath{\ll}t$ are calculated using the spin-charge factorized wave function. We find that the Luttinger-liquid-like scaling behavior for a finite system with $L$ sites is restricted below temperatures of the order $T\ensuremath{\lesssim}J/L$. We also observe a weight redistribution in the photoemission spectral function in the energy range $t$, which is much larger than the temperature.

Strong correlations and formation of "hot spots" in the quasi-one-dimensional Hubbard model at weak coupling

Rohe, D., Antoine Georges

We study the anisotropic two-dimensional Hubbard model at and near half filling within a functional renormalization group method, focusing on the structure of momentum-dependent correlations which grow strongly upon approaching a critical temperature from above. We find that a finite nearest-neighbor interchain hopping is not sufficient to introduce a substantial momentum dependence of single-particle properties along the Fermi surface. However, when a sufficiently large second-nearest neighbor inter-chain hopping is introduced, the system is frustrated and we observe the appearance of so-called "hot spots", specific points on the Fermi surface around which scattering becomes particularly strong. We compare our results with other studies on quasi-one-dimensional systems.

Approximate treatment of a two-dimensional anisotropic Peierls-Hubbard model

Ben Hur Bernhard, J. R. Iglesias

A Green-function formalism is presented to study a Peierls-Hubbard Hamiltonian in two dimensions. The lattice consists of parallel dimerized chains with alternating nearest-neighbor hoppings t and ${\mathit{t}}_{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\parallel}}}$ and another hopping ${\mathit{t}}_{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\perp}}}$ between different chains. The method treats the interdimer hopping as a perturbation and yields exact results in the uncorrelated case and for isolated dimers. The calculated spectral functions exhibit a number of narrow subbands with typical low-dimensional singularities. The dependence of the gap at the Fermi level on the electron-electron interaction U agrees qualitatively with the exact result in the known one-dimensional nondimerized limit. The paramagnetic susceptibility shows a maximum structure at low temperatures that is enhanced by U and by dimerization and a Curie-Weiss behavior at high temperatures.

Spectral function of the U→∞ one-dimensional Hubbard model at finite temperature and the crossover to the spin-incoherent regime

Mohammad Soltanieh-ha, Adrian E. Feiguin

The physics of the strongly interacting Hubbard chain (with $t/U\ensuremath{\ll}1$) at finite temperatures undergoes a crossover to a spin-incoherent regime when the temperature is very small relative to the Fermi energy, but larger than the characteristic spin energy scale. This crossover can be understood by means of Ogata and Shiba's factorized wave function, where charge and spin are totally decoupled, and assuming that the charge remains in the ground state, while the spin is thermally excited and at an effective ``spin temperature.'' We use the time-dependent density matrix renormalization group method to calculate the dynamical contributions of the spin, to reconstruct the single-particle spectral function of the electrons. The crossover is characterized by a redistribution of spectral weight both in frequency and momentum, with an apparent shift by ${k}_{F}$ of the minimum of the dispersion.
