Infinite sequences of diagrams containing ladder inserts, which describe the interaction of electrons with these fluctuations, are summed, and obtained equations are self-consistently solved for the ranges of Hubbard repulsions [Formula: see text], temperatures [Formula: see text] and electron concentrations [Formula: see text] with t the intersite hopping constant. For all considered U the system exhibits a transition to the long-range antiferromagnetic order at [Formula: see text]. At the same time no indication of charge ordering is observed. Obtained solutions agree satisfactorily with results of other approaches and obey moments sum rules. In the considered region of the U-T plane, the curve separating metallic solutions passes from [Formula: see text] at the highest temperatures to U = 2t at [Formula: see text] for half-filling. If only short-range fluctuations are allowed for the remaining part of this region is occupied by insulating solutions. Taking into account long-range fluctuations leads to strengthening of maxima tails, which transform a part of insulating solutions into bad-metal states. For low T, obtained results allow us to trace the gradual transition from the regime of strong correlations with the pronounced four-band structure and well-defined Mott gap for [Formula: see text] to the Slater regime of weak correlations with the spectral intensity having a dip along the boundary of the magnetic Brillouin zone due to an antiferromagnetic ordering for [Formula: see text]. For [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] doping leads to the occurrence of a pseudogap near the Fermi level, which is a consequence of the splitting out of a narrow band from a Hubbard subband. Obtained spectra feature waterfalls and Fermi arcs, which are similar to those observed in hole-doped cuprates.
Abstract Using the strong-coupling diagram technique, low-temperature spectral properties of the two-dimensional fermionic Hubbard model are considered for strong and moderate Hubbard repulsions U . The electron hopping to the nearest, second and third neighbors is taken into account with hopping constants t , t ′ = − 0.3 t and t ″ = 0.2 t , respectively. The nonzero values of t ′ and t ″ lead to strong asymmetry in magnetic properties with respect to the hole and electron doping—for U = 8 t strong antiferromagnetic correlations are retained up to the electron concentration n ¯ ≈ 1.25 , while they are destroyed completely at n ¯ ≈ 0.87 . When the temperature is decreased to T ≲ 0.1 t , in a wide range of electron concentrations there appear narrow and intensive peaks at the Fermi level (FL) in densities of states. For U ≲ 6 t the peaks are seen even at half-filling, while for larger U they arise as the FL leaves the Mott gap. The peaks are connected with a narrow band emerging at low temperatures. We identify states forming the band with spin-polaron excitations—bound states of correlated electrons and mobile spin excitations. Obtained low-temperature spectral functions are used for interpreting the peak-dip-hump structure observed in the photoemission of Nd 2− x Ce x CuO 4 . In the case of hole doping, the calculated Fermi contour contains arcs near nodal points with pseudogaps near antinodal points, while for electron doping the spectral intensity is suppressed at hot spots, in agreement with experimental observations in cuprate perovskites.
Abstract Using the strong coupling diagram technique, we investigate the extended Hubbard model on a two-dimensional square lattice. This approach allows for charge and spin fluctuations and a short-range antiferromagnetic order at nonzero temperatures. The model features the first-order phase transition to states with alternating site occupations (SAO) at the intersite repulsion v = v c . In this work, we show that doping decreases v c . For a nonzero next-nearest neighbor hopping t ′ , less mobile carriers produce a stronger fall in v c . For half-filling and t ′ = 0 , we consider phase diagrams for a fixed temperature T, on-site U, and intersite repulsions. The diagrams contain regions of SAO, Mott insulator, and several metallic states distinguished by their densities of states. Two of them are characterized by a dip and a peak at the Fermi level. The dip originates from the Slater mechanism for itinerant electrons, while the peak to bound states of electrons with localized magnetic moments. The existence of these two metallic regions in the phase diagram is a manifestation of the Pomeranchuk effect. The boundary between these regions reveals itself as a kink in the curve v c (T) and as a maximum in the T dependence of the double occupancy D. Our calculated D for different values of v, U, and T are in semiquantitative agreement with Monte Carlo results.
Abstract We consider the extended Hubbard model on a two-dimensional square lattice at half-filling. The model is investigated using the strong coupling diagram technique. We sum infinite series of ladder diagrams allowing for full-scale charge and spin fluctuations and the actual short-range antiferromagnetic order for nonzero temperatures. In agreement with earlier results, we find the first-order phase transition in the charge subsystem occurring at v = v c ≳ U/4 with v and U the intersite and on-site Coulomb repulsion constants. The transition reveals itself in an abrupt sign change of a sharp maximum in the zero-frequency charge susceptibility at the corner of the Brillouin. States arising at the transition have alternating deviations of electron occupations from the mean value on neighboring sites. Due to fluctuations, these alternating occupation deviations have short-range order. For the considered parameters, such behavior is found for U ≲ 5t with t the hopping constant. For the insulating case U ≳ 6t, in which the transition is not observed, we find a continuous growth of the Mott gap with v. The evolution of the electron density of states with increasing v is also considered.
Abstract. Magnetic and charge susceptibilities of the two-dimensional repulsive Hubbard model are investigated applying a strong coupling diagram technique in which the expansion in powers of the hopping constants is used. For small lattices and high temperatures results are in agreement with Monte Carlo simulations. With the departure from half-filling x the low-frequency magnetic susceptibility becomes incommensurate and the incommensurability parameter grows with x. The incommensurability, its dependence on frequency and on x resemble experimental results in lanthanum cuprates. Also for finite x sharp maxima appear in the static charge susceptibility. The maxima are finite which points to the absence of the long-range charge ordering (static stripes). However, for x ≈ 0.12 the maxima are located near the momenta (0, ±π/2), (±π/2, 0). In this case an interaction of carriers with tetragonal distortions can stabilize stripes with the wavelength of four lattice spacings, as observed in the low-temperature tetragonal phase of cuprates. As follows from the obtained results, the magnetic incommensurability is not a consequence of the stripes. The Hubbard model is thought to be appropriate to describe the main features of electron correlations in narrow energy bands, leading to collective effects such as magnetism and
Electronic states in the two-dimensional Hubbard model are studied in the doped paramagnetic states by use of the auxiliary boson approach. Four auxiliary bosons are introduced by means of the Hubbard-Stratonovich transformation within the functional integral treatment. These bosons correspond to one charge and three spin fluctuations. An effective model is formulated. Going beyond the boson fluctuations around the saddle point, the single-electron Green's function including one-loop self-energy effects of fermion-boson interaction is derived. The behavior of the fermion self-energy, spectral functions, and density of states are investigated for several values of the Coulomb interaction U within the limit imposed by the Stoner criterion and also for small and moderate doping concentrations $\ensuremath{\delta}$. For small doping $(\ensuremath{\delta}=0.2)$, as U approaches a value determined by the Stoner criterion, the spin-boson spectrum has a striking low-energy enhancement around $\mathbf{q}\ensuremath{\sim}2{\mathbf{k}}_{F}.$ This enhancement of the spin fluctuation causes a non-Fermi-liquid-like low-energy $\ensuremath{\omega}$ linear dependence in the imaginary part of the self-energy. Due to the self-energy effects, band splittings and a band narrowing are produced in the spectral functions. As a consequence of this, the density of states has pseudogap structures around the quasiparticle band with a narrow bandwidth on the Fermi energy. These features seem to be precursors of the metal-insulator (Mott-Hubbard) transition and they might be related to the spin-gap phenomena observed in high-Tc materials. Our results for the density of states, the spectral function, and the band dispersions show qualitative agreement with the data of finite-size cluster simulations.
