Abstract

We derive an effective spin Hamiltonian for the one-dimensional half-filled asymmetric ionic Hubbard model (IHM) with alternating on-site interaction in the limit of strong repulsion. It is shown that the effective Hamiltonian is that of a spin S = 1/2 anisotropic XXZ Heisenberg chain with alternating next-nearest-neighbor (NNN) and three-spin couplings in the presence of a uniform and a staggered magnetic field.

The large | U | expansion for a half-filled asymmetric Hubbard model on a triangular ladder in the presence of spin-dependent magnetic flux

Shota Garuchava, Bachana Beradze, Tatia Sharia +1 more

Abstract We consider a half-filled system of spin-1/2 fermions on a triangular ladder with spin-dependent hopping in the presence of spin-dependent flux. Using the Schrieffer–Wolff transformation, we derive an effective spin Hamiltonian describing the infrared properties of the system in the limit of strong on-site repulsion. The expansion is performed up to the third order in the hopping amplitude over on-site interaction energy. It is shown that the low-energy spin excitations are described by an anisotropic XXZ Heisenberg model with Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction and an unconventional three-spin (correlated exchange) term in the presence of an extended magnetic field. The latter couples not only to z -projection of the total spin on a triangular plaquette but also to the product of z -components of three spins located on vertices of the triangle. In the case of strong attractive interaction, the corresponding effective model is derived from the repulsive one using the one-spin-component particle-hole transformation. The effective Hamiltonian is given by the same XXZ Heisenberg model, as in the repulsive case, but in terms of pseudospin (charge) operators.

Mass-imbalanced ionic Hubbard chain

A repulsive Hubbard model with both spin-asymmetric hopping $({t}_{\ensuremath{\uparrow}}\ensuremath{\ne}{t}_{\ensuremath{\downarrow}})$ and a staggered potential (of strength $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}})$ is studied in one dimension. The model is a compound of the mass-imbalanced $({t}_{\ensuremath{\uparrow}}\ensuremath{\ne}{t}_{\ensuremath{\downarrow}},\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}=0)$ and ionic $({t}_{\ensuremath{\uparrow}}={t}_{\ensuremath{\downarrow}},\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}>0)$ Hubbard models, and may be realized by cold atoms in engineered optical lattices. We use mostly mean-field theory to determine the phases and phase transitions in the ground state for a half-filled band (one particle per site). We find that a period-two modulation of the particle (or charge) density and an alternating spin density coexist for arbitrary Hubbard interaction strength, $U\ensuremath{\ge}0$. The amplitude of the charge modulation is largest at $U=0$, decreases with increasing $U$ and tends to zero for $U\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty}$. The amplitude for spin alternation increases with $U$ and tends to saturation for $U\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty}$. Charge order dominates below a value ${U}_{c}$, whereas magnetic order dominates above. The mean-field Hamiltonian has two gap parameters, ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}}_{\ensuremath{\uparrow}}$ and ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}}_{\ensuremath{\downarrow}}$, which have to be determined self-consistently. For $U<{U}_{c}$ both parameters are positive, for $U>{U}_{c}$ they have different signs, and for $U={U}_{c}$ one gap parameter jumps from a positive to a negative value. The weakly first-order phase transition at ${U}_{c}$ can be interpreted in terms of an avoided criticality (or metallicity). The system is reluctant to restore a symmetry that has been broken explicitly.

Néel order, ring exchange, and charge fluctuations in the half-filled Hubbard model

Jean-Yves P. Delannoy, Michel J. P. Gingras, P. C. W. Holdsworth +1 more

We investigate the ground state properties of the two-dimensional half-filled one band Hubbard model in the strong (large-$U$) to intermediate coupling limit (i.e., away from the strict Heisenberg limit) using an effective spin-only low-energy theory that includes nearest-neighbor exchange, ring exchange, and all other spin interactions to order $t{(t∕U)}^{3}$. We show that the operator for the staggered magnetization, transformed for use in the effective theory, differs from that for the order parameter of the spin model by a renormalization factor accounting for the increased charge fluctuations as $t∕U$ is increased from the $t∕U\ensuremath{\rightarrow}0$ Heisenberg limit. These charge fluctuations lead to an increase of the quantum fluctuations over and above those for an $S=1∕2$ antiferromagnet. The renormalization factor ensures that the zero temperature staggered moment for the Hubbard model is a monotonously decreasing function of $t∕U$, despite the fact that the moment of the spin Hamiltonian, which depends on transverse spin fluctuations only, in an increasing function of $t∕U$. We also comment on quantitative aspects of the $t∕U$ and $1∕S$ expansions.

We investigate the ground state properties of the two-dimensional half-filled one band Hubbard model in the strong (large-UUU) to intermediate coupling limit (i.e., away from the strict Heisenberg limit) using an effective spin-only low-energy theory that includes nearest-neighbor exchange, ring exchange, and all other spin interactions to order t(t∕U)3t{(t∕U)}^{3}t(t∕U)3. We show that the operator for the staggered magnetization, transformed for use in the effective theory, differs from that for the order parameter of the spin model by a renormalization factor accounting for the increased charge fluctuations as t∕Ut∕Ut∕U is increased from the $t∕U\ensuremath{\rightarrow}0$ Heisenberg limit. These charge fluctuations lead to an increase of the quantum fluctuations over and above those for an S=1∕2S=1∕2S=1∕2 antiferromagnet. The renormalization factor ensures that the zero temperature staggered moment for the Hubbard model is a monotonously decreasing function of t∕Ut∕Ut∕U, despite the fact that the moment of the spin Hamiltonian, which depends on transverse spin fluctuations only, in an increasing function of t∕Ut∕Ut∕U. We also comment on quantitative aspects of the t∕Ut∕Ut∕U and 1∕S1∕S1∕S expansions.
