Intersite electron correlations on inhomogeneous lattices: a real-space dual fermion approach

Abstract

We develop a real-space extension of the dual fermion approach. This method is formulated in terms of real-space Green's functions and local vertex functions, which enables us to discuss local and nonlocal correlations in inhomogeneous systems with an arbitrary geometric structure. We first demonstrate that the approach gives us reasonable results for a homogenous periodic system by taking into account onsite and nearest-neighbor intersite correlations. Moreover, we study the half-filled Hubbard model on the quasiperiodic Penrose lattice and clarify the role of intersite correlations for the Mott transition. The intersite correlations lead to a rich structure in local observables which is inherited from the quasiperiodic structure of the lattice.

Intersite electron correlations in a Hubbard model on inhomogeneous lattices

Nayuta Takemori, Akihisa Koga, Hartmut Hafermann

We study intersite electron correlations in the half-filled Hubbard model on square lattices with periodic and open boundary conditions by means of a real-space dual fermion approach. By calculating renormalization factors, we clarify that nearest-neighbor intersite correlations already significantly reduce the critical interaction. The Mott transition occurs at U/t ∼ 6.4, where U is the interaction strength and t is the hopping integral. This value is consistent with quantum Monte Carlo results. It shows the importance of short-range intersite correlations, which are taken into account in the framework of the real-space dual fermion approach.

Local Electron Correlations in a Two-Dimensional Hubbard Model on the Penrose Lattice

Nayuta Takemori, Akihisa Koga

We study electron correlations in the half-filled Hubbard model on two-dimensional Penrose lattice. Applying the real-space dynamical mean-field theory to large clusters, we discuss how low-temperature properties are affected by the quasiperiodic structure. By calculating the double occupancy and renormalization factor at each site, we clarify the existence of the Mott transition. The spatially-dependent renormalization characteristic of geometrical structure is also addressed.

Local and Nonlocal Correlations in Interacting Electron Systems

Josef Kaufmann

Strong electronic correlations are the root of many fascinating phenomena of condensed matter physics. However, they also make calculations notoriously difficult. This thesis is concerned with the development and improvement of computational methods for strongly correlated electron systems. After a brief recapitulation of the Green’s function formalism,which is the theoretical basis of most such methods, we discuss the analytical continuation from imaginary to real frequencies. Especially the maximum entropy method is explained in detail and an implementation there of is presented.The remainder of this thesis deals with methods to compute Green’s functions on thei maginary frequency axis. First, the Anderson impurity model (AIM) is considered. It can be solved numerically – a task for which several methods exist. We focus on continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo with worm sampling, through which various kinds of correlation functions can be calculated. On this basis we derive and implement symmetric improved estimators that allow for the computation of the self-energy and vertex functions where the level of stochastic noise is largely reduced with respect to conventional estimators.As a next step the dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) is introduced as a method to capture local correlations in the Hubbard model (HM) by self-consistently mapping it onto the AIM. We study the convergence behavior of this iterative procedure and the improvement of convergence due to mixing. Then, we compare electron scattering rates from DMFT in the weak-coupling regime of the square-lattice HM to results from Boltzmann scattering theory.While local correlations account for many interesting phenomena, such as the Mott-Hubbard metal-insulator transition, they are not sufficient to correctly describe, e.g., the physics of phase transitions in two- or three-dimensional systems. It is thus the final step in this thesis to also include nonlocal correlations by means of the dynamical vertex approximation (DΓA). For this we develop a new self-consistency scheme, which is then applied to several systems: We study the square-lattice HM, where we compare to benchmark methods in the weak-coupling regime, but also present results for intermediate and strong coupling. Furthermore, a two-band model with doping and a three-band Wannier model for strontium vanadate are studied. As an application of our new self-consistent DΓA, we study the effects of geometrical frustration in the kagome lattice, where we also compare our results to determinant quantum Monte Carlo.

Canonical perturbation theory for inhomogeneous systems of interacting fermions

T. Kostyrko, Bogdan R. Bułka

We consider a model of interacting fermions on a lattice with a strong on-site term and a weak intersite one. The model is defined in terms of Hubbard operators and takes into account the local lattice defects as well as the magnetic field. Using a canonical perturbation theory we obtain explicit formulas for parameters of the effective Hamiltonian exact up to second order with respect to the intersite term. We show how the method can be generalized recursively to higher orders and exemplify the procedure with an application to a single band Hubbard model with defects and to its two-orbital extension.

Variational Monte Carlo Studies of the Hubbard Model in One- and Two-Dimensions –Off-Diagonal Intersite Correlation Effects–

Hiromi Otsuka

We investigate the ground state properties of the one- and the two-dimensional Hubbard models using a new variational Monte Carlo method. By generalizing the Gutzwiller variational wave function (GF) to take into account an off-diagonal intersite correlation, we examine the metal-insulator transition mechanism at the half filling. As Kaplan et al. first pointed out, the binding mechanism between doubly occupied sites and empty sites plays a crucial role for this transition; we confirm this by examining the real space correlation function between these two kinds of sites. Results for the spin and the charge structure factors are presented as well as the momentum distribution function and are discussed in connection with the pairing effect. We also find that in less-than half filling, the improvements of the structure factors at 2 k F are realized as compared with GF results.

Hubbard model in one dimension with a general bond-charge interaction: Analytical ground-state solution for the pairing of two particles

Emmanuel Vallejo, Oracio Navarro

In this work we solve a general Hubbard Hamiltonian for two interacting particles in a periodic and nonperiodic infinite one-dimensional lattice, using a real-space mapping method, the renormalized perturbation expansion (RPE), and the Green-function technique. This Hamiltonian considers a general bond-charge interaction, the on-site interaction, and the general intersite interaction. The real-space method is based on mapping the correlated many-body problem onto an equivalent site- and bond-impurity tight-binding problem in a higher-dimensional space. Analyzing the periodic and the quasiperiodic lattices in this new space, we obtained the analytical solution for the binding condition at the ground state. Our general results for the periodic chain reproduce completely the limit cases of the numerical solution obtained previously and those obtained in reciprocal space
