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

Abstract

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.

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.

Mott Transition in the Two-Dimensional Hubbard Model

Masanori Kohno

Spectral properties of the two-dimensional Hubbard model near the Mott transition are investigated by using cluster perturbation theory. The Mott transition is characterized by freezing of the charge degrees of freedom in a single-particle excitation that leads continuously to the magnetic excitation of the Mott insulator. Various anomalous spectral features observed in cuprate high-temperature superconductors are explained in a unified manner as properties near the Mott transition.

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

Masanori Kohno

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.

Nonperturbative Calculations for Spectroscopic Properties of Cuprate High-Temperature Superconductors

志朗 酒井

We review nonperturbative numerical calculations on dynamical properties of the two-dimensional Hubbard model and their relevance to various spectroscopic experiments on high-temperature superconducting cuprates. The unbiased nonperturbative theories have revealed the existence of a self-energy singularity in slightly doped Mott insulators, which is responsible for both the pseudogap formation and high-temperature superconductivity. The self-energy pole traces back to the Mott gap at zero doping, underscoring that Mott physics lies at the heart of both the pseudogap and high-temperature superconductivity. This mechanism of the pseudogap relies neither on competing order nor preformed pair while that of the high superconducting transition temperature does not necessitate a bosonic glue to mediate Cooper pairing. Instead, both mechanisms are linked to the singular self-energy inherent to the Mott insulator. The presence of the self-energy pole accounts for various spectroscopic anomalies reported so far in experiments, deforming the spectral structure in a manner beyond a simple mass renormalization. The low-energy electron dynamics, as computed with the self-energy pole, suggest the existence of a hidden fermionic excitation coupling to quasiparticles.

Underdoped cuprate phenomenology in the two-dimensional Hubbard model within the composite operator method

Adolfo Avella, Ferdinando Mancini

The two-dimensional Hubbard model is studied within the composite operator method (COM) with the self-energy computed in the self-consistent Born approximation (SCBA). The COM describes interacting electrons in terms of the new elementary excitations that appear in the system owing to strong correlations; residual interactions among these excitations are treated within the SCBA. On decreasing the doping (from the overdoped to underdoped region), anomalous features develop in the spectral function $A(\mathbf{k},\ensuremath{\omega})$, the Fermi surface, the momentum distribution function $n(\mathbf{k})$, the dispersion, and the density of states $N(\ensuremath{\omega})$ in the intermediate-coupling regime $(U=8)$ at low temperatures $(T=0.01--0.02)$. At high doping $(n=0.7)$, the system resembles an ordinary weakly interacting metal. At low doping $(n=0.92)$, a pseudogap opens, hot and cold spots appear, and non-Fermi-liquid features develop. This behavior, together with the presence of kinks in the calculated electronic dispersion, is in agreement with angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy data for high-${T}_{c}$ cuprates superconductors.

Theory of two-particle excitations and the magnetic susceptibility in high-T c cuprate superconductors

S. Brehm, Enrico Arrigoni, Markus Aichhorn +1 more

Two-particle (2-p) excitations such as spin and charge excitations play a key role in high- T c cuprate superconductors (HTSC). On the basis of a parameter-free theory, which extends the variational cluster approach (a recently developed embedded cluster method) to 2-p excitations, the magnetic excitations of HTSC are shown to be reproduced for a Hubbard model within the relevant strong-coupling regime. In particular, the resonance mode in the underdoped regime, its intensity and "hour-glass" dispersion are in good overall agreement with experiments.
