Abstract

We study the finite-temperature Fermi-liquid to non-Fermi-liquid crossover in the two-dimensional Hubbard model for a range of dopings using the self-consistent ladder dual fermion method. We consider relatively high temperatures where by comparing the single-particle self-energy and the two-particle spin susceptibility we identify a suppression of the density of states near the Fermi level caused by a quasi-antiferromagnetic behavior that is itself characterized by a long, but finite, correlation length scale which we extract. We compute the single-particle self-energy, and the charge/spin susceptibilities for the entire doping range at relatively high temperature, and also for the half-filled weak-coupling case at relatively low temperatures. We perform fluctuation diagnostics to decompose the single-particle self-energy into scattering $q$-vector and bosonic frequency contributions in the spin channel. Within this framework we find that the key contributions to the single-particle self-energy that give non-Fermi-liquid character show complicated dependence on zero, positive, and negative frequency bosonic modes. We find that for a nominal choice of ${t}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ that electron- and hole-doped systems with similar Fermi-liquid character have distinct spin and charge susceptibility and distinct spin-fluctuation diagnostics spectra.

Nonlocal Excitation Spectra in Two-Dimensional Doped Hubbard Model

Yoshiro Kakehashi, Peter Fulde

Single-particle excitation spectra of the two-dimensional Hubbard model on the square lattice near half filling and at zero temperature are investigated on the basis of the self-consistent projection operator method. The method guarantees a high accuracy of the spectra with high energy and high momentum resolutions. It takes into account long-range intersite correlations as well as the strong on-site correlations. Effects of nonlocal excitations are clarified by comparing the results with those of the single-site approximation. The calculated spectra verify the quantum Monte-Carlo results for finite temperatures. The spectra at the Fermi level yield a hole-like Fermi surface in the underdoped region and an electron-like Fermi surface in the overdoped region. From a numerical analysis of the momentum dependent effective mass and self-energy, it is concluded that a marginal Fermi-liquid like state persists even at finite doping concentrations in the strongly correlated region because a van Hove singularity is pinned to the Fermi surface. It is also found that a kink structure appears in the quasiparticle energy band in the same region. The kink is shown to be caused by a mixing between the quasiparticle band and an excitation band with strong short-range antiferromagnetic correlations. These results suggest an explanation for some of the unusual properties of the normal state in high-$T_{\rm c}$ cuprates.

Antiferromagnetic pseudogap in the two-dimensional Hubbard model deep in the renormalized classical regime

Yu. M. Vil’k, C. Lahaie, A.–M. S. Tremblay

Long-wavelength spin fluctuations prohibit antiferromagnetic long-range order at finite temperature in two dimensions. Nevertheless, the correlation length starts to grow rapidly at a crossover temperature, leading to critical slowing down and to a renormalized-classical regime over a wide range of temperature, between a fraction of the mean-field transition temperature and the zero-temperature ordered state. This leads to a single-particle pseudogap of the kind observed in electron-doped cuprates. Very few theoretical methods can claim an accurate description of this regime. The challenge is that in this regime Fermi-liquid quasiparticles are already destroyed and new quasiparticles of the ordered state are not fully formed yet. Here, we study this problem for the two-dimensional Hubbard model by first generalizing the two-particle self-consistent approach. Using a special algorithm, spin fluctuations are treated in the thermodynamic limit even for large correlation lengths. The effects of Kanamori-Br\"uckner screening, of classical and of quantum fluctuations are taken into account. Results are presented at half filling for the one-band Hubbard model with nearest-neighbor hopping. They agree well with available benchmark diagrammatic quantum Monte Carlo at high temperature where the pseudogap opens up. In addition to temperature-dependent spectral properties, we find quantum corrections to the zero-temperature renormalized mean-field antiferromagnetic gap. Finally, analytic continuation of the Matsubara results for spectral functions show that the pseudogap opens up at significantly higher temperature than was previously identified based on the Matsubara data only.

Influence of spin and charge fluctuations on spectra of the two-dimensional Hubbard model

A. Sherman

The influence of spin and charge fluctuations on spectra of the two-dimensional fermionic Hubbard model is considered using the strong coupling diagram technique. 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.

Superconductivity, antiferromagnetism, and phase separation in the two-dimensional Hubbard model: A dual-fermion approach

Junya Otsuki, Hartmut Hafermann, Alexander I. Lichtenstein

The dual-fermion approach offers a way to perform diagrammatic expansion around the dynamical mean field theory. Using this formalism, the influence of antiferromagnetic fluctuations on the self-energy is taken into account through ladder-type diagrams in the particle-hole channel. The resulting phase diagram for the (quasi-)two-dimensional Hubbard model exhibits antiferromagnetism and $d$-wave superconductivity. Furthermore, a uniform charge instability, i.e., phase separation, is obtained in the low-doping regime around the Mott insulator. We also examine spin/charge density wave fluctuations including $d$-wave symmetry. The model exhibits a tendency towards an unconventional charge density wave, but no divergence of the susceptibility is found.

Hubbard model at U=∞\infty∞: Role of single and two-boson fluctuations

Debanand Sa, Anirban Dutta

We have developed a semi-analytical framework formulated in the canonical fermion representation to investigate strongly correlated electron systems. We consider the U=$\infty$ Hubbard model and used the equation of motion method to calculate the fermion self-energy which has two parts: single and two-boson exchange processes. The emergent bosons here are self-generated local charge and spin-density fluctuations which become strongly time-dependent due to extreme correlations. The computed boson spectral density is a diffusive damped mode with a long tail. The electron self-energy at $d=\infty$ is computed self-consistently. The corresponding fermionic spectral density displays a pronounced coherence peak at $ω=0$, while its frequency derivative develops a two-peak structure at finite $ω$. The resistivity shows a linear temperature dependence over a broad range, crossing over to coherent Fermi-liquid behavior at extremely low temperatures.

Strong Local Bosonic Fluctuation: The Key to Understanding Strongly Correlated Metals

Syed R. Hassan, Gopal Prakash, N. S. Vidhyadhiraja +1 more

In this paper, we present a theoretical framework for understanding the Extremely Correlated Fermi Liquid (ECFL) phenomenon within the $U=\infty$ Hubbard model. Our approach involves deriving equations of motion for the single-particle Green's function $G$ and its associated self-energy $Σ$, which involves the product of the bosonic correlation function comprising both density ($D_N$) and spin ($D_S$) correlations with $G$. By solving these equations self-consistently, we explore the behavior of $G$, $D_N$, and $D_S$ as functions of frequency, temperature, and hole concentration. Our results reveal distinct coherent and incoherent Fermi liquid regimes characterized by the presence or absence of quasiparticle excitations. Additionally, we analyze the intrinsic dc resistivity $ρ(T)$, observing a crossover from $T^2$ to linear behavior with increasing temperature. Our findings delineate Fermi liquid, quantum incoherent, and `classical' regimes in strongly correlated systems, emphasizing the importance of quantum diffusive local charge and spin fluctuations.
