Signatures of Delocalization in the Fermionic 1D Hubbard Model with Box Disorder: Comparative Study with DMRG and R-DMFT

Abstract

We investigate the 1D Anderson-Hubbard model at half filling with box-disorder. The ground state phase diagram is obtained by means of real-space dynamical mean-field theory (R-DMFT) and the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG). We find Mott insulating and Anderson localized regimes as well as a strong indication of a delocalized phase for intermediate interaction and disorder strength within accessible system sizes. These phases are characterized and distinguished by qualitatively different scaling behavior of the local density of states, the energy gap in the excitation spectrum and the inverse participation number.

ANDERSON LOCALIZATION VS. MOTT–HUBBARD METAL–INSULATOR TRANSITION IN DISORDERED, INTERACTING LATTICE FERMION SYSTEMS

Krzysztof Byczuk, Walter Hofstetter, D. Vollhardt

We review recent progress in our theoretical understanding of strongly correlated fermion systems in the presence of disorder. Results were obtained by the application of a powerful nonperturbative approach, the dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT), to interacting disordered lattice fermions. In particular, we demonstrate that DMFT combined with geometric averaging over disorder can capture Anderson localization and Mott insulating phases on the level of one-particle correlation functions. Results are presented for the ground state phase diagram of the Anderson–Hubbard model at half-filling, both in the paramagnetic phase and in the presence of antiferromagnetic order. We find a new antiferromagnetic metal which is stabilized by disorder. Possible realizations of these quantum phases with ultracold fermions in optical lattices are discussed.

Two-dimensional Anderson-Hubbard model in the DMFT + Σ approximation

É. Z. Kuchinskiǐ, N. A. Kuleeva, I. A. Nekrasov +1 more

The density of states, the dynamic (optical) conductivity, and the phase diagram of the paramagnetic two-dimensional Anderson-Hubbard model with strong correlations and disorder are analyzed within the generalized dynamical mean field theory (DMFT + Σ approximation). Strong correlations are accounted by the DMFT, while disorder is taken into account via the appropriate generalization of the self-consistent theory of localization. We consider the two-dimensional system with the rectangular “bare” density of states (DOS). The DMFT effective single-impurity problem is solved by numerical renormalization group (NRG). The “correlated metal,” Mott insulator, and correlated Anderson insulator phases are identified from the evolution of the density of states, optical conductivity, and localization length, demonstrating both Mott-Hubbard and Anderson metal-insulator transitions in two-dimensional systems of finite size, allowing us to construct the complete zero-temperature phase diagram of the paramagnetic Anderson-Hubbard model. The localization length in our approximation is practically independent of the strength of Hubbard correlations. But the divergence of the localization length in a finite-size two-dimensional system at small disorder signifies the existence of an effective Anderson transition.

Anderson-Mott transition in a disordered Hubbard chain with correlated hopping

Francesca Battista, Alberto Camjayi, Liliana Arrachea

We study the ground-state phase diagram of the Anderson-Hubbard model with correlated hopping at half-filling in one dimension. The Hamiltonian has a local Coulomb repulsion $U$ and a disorder potential with local energies randomly distributed in the interval $(\ensuremath{-}W,+W)$ with equal probability, acting on the singly occupied sites. The hopping process which modifies the number of doubly occupied sites is forbidden. The hopping between nearest-neighbor singly occupied and empty sites or between singly occupied and doubly occupied sites has the same amplitude $t$. We identify three different phases as functions of the disorder amplitude $W$ and Coulomb interaction strength $U>0$. When $U<4t$ the system shows a metallic phase: (i) only when no disorder is present $W=0$ or an Anderson-localized phase, (ii) when disorder is introduced $W\ensuremath{\ne}0$. When $U>4t$ the Anderson-localized phase survives as long as disorder effects dominate on the interaction effects, otherwise a Mott-insulator phase (iii) arises. Phases (i) and (ii) are characterized by a finite density of doublons and a vanishing charge gap among the ground state and the excited states. Phase (iii) is characterized by the vanishing density of doublons and a finite gap for the charge excitations.

Mott-Hubbard transition and Anderson localization: A generalized dynamical mean-field theory approach

E. Z. Kuchinskii, I. A. Nekrasov, M. V. Sadovskii

The DOS, the dynamic (optical) conductivity, and the phase diagram of a strongly correlated and strongly disordered paramagnetic Anderson-Hubbard model are analyzed within the generalized dynamical mean field theory (DMFT + Σ approximation). Strong correlations are taken into account by the DMFT, and disorder is taken into account via an appropriate generalization of the self-consistent theory of localization. The DMFT effective single-impurity problem is solved by a numerical renormalization group (NRG); we consider the three-dimensional system with a semielliptic DOS. The correlated metal, Mott insulator, and correlated Anderson insulator phases are identified via the evolution of the DOS and dynamic conductivity, demonstrating both the Mott-Hubbard and Anderson metal-insulator transition and allowing the construction of the complete zero-temperature phase diagram of the Anderson-Hubbard model. Rather unusual is the possibility of a disorder-induced Mott insulator-to-metal transition.

Anderson localization effects on the doped Hubbard model

Nathan Giovanni, Marcello Civelli, Maria C. O. Aguiar

We derive the disorder vs doping phase diagram of the doped Hubbard model via dynamical mean-field theory combined with typical medium theory, which allows the description of both Mott (correlation driven) and Anderson (disorder driven) metal-insulator transitions. We observe a transition from a metal to an Anderson-Mott insulator for increasing disorder strength at all interactions. In the weak correlation regime and rather small doping, the Anderson-Mott insulator displays properties which are similar to the ones found at half filling. In particular, this phase is characterized by the presence of empty sites. If we further increase either the doping or the correlation, however, an Anderson-Mott phase of a different kind arises for sharply weaker disorder strength. This phase occupies the largest part of the phase diagram in the strong-correlation regime and is characterized by the absence of the empty sites.

Dynamical mean field study of the two-dimensional disordered Hubbard model

Yun Song, Rachel Wortis, W. A. Atkinson

We study the paramagnetic Anderson-Hubbard model using an extension of dynamical mean field theory (DMFT), known as statistical DMFT, that allows us to treat disorder and strong electronic correlations on equal footing. An approximate nonlocal Green's function is found for individual disorder realizations and then configuration averaged. We apply this method to two-dimensional lattices with up to 1000 sites in the strong disorder limit, where an atomic-limit approximation is made for the self-energy. We investigate the scaling of the inverse participation ratio at quarter- and half-filling, and find a nonmonotonic dependence of the localization length on the interaction strength. For strong disorder, we do not find evidence for an insulator-metal transition, and the disorder potential becomes unscreened near the Mott transition. Furthermore, strong correlations suppress the Altshuler-Aronov density of states anomaly near half-filling.
