Macroscopic Dynamics of the Strong-Coupling BCS-Hubbard Model

Abstract

The aim of the current paper is to illustrate, in a simple example, our recent, very general, rigorous results [1, 2] on the dynamical properties of fermions and quantum-spin systems with long-range, or mean-field, interactions, in infinite volume. We consider here the strong-coupling BCS-Hubbard model studied in [3, 4], because this example is very pedagogical and, at the same time, physically relevant for it highlights the impact of the (screened) Coulomb repulsion on ( $$s$$ -wave) superconductivity.

Superconductivity in the repulsive Hubbard model: an asymptotically exact weak-coupling solution

The existence and nature of superconductivity (or superfluidity) of Fermi systems interacting (primarily) via repulsive interactions has been a long-standing subject, ever since BCS-theory was proposed.The pioneering works of Kohn and Luttinger (1965), Berk and Schrieffer (1966), Anderson and Brinkman(1975) explained correctly how an attractive ef-

Slave spins away from half filling: Cluster mean-field theory of the Hubbard and extended Hubbard models

Syed R. Hassan, Luca de’ Medici

A slave-spin representation of fermion operators has recently been proposed for the half-filled single and multiband Hubbard model. We show that with the addition of a gauge variable, the formalism can be extended to finite doping. We solve the resulting spin problem using the cluster mean-field approximation. This approximation takes short-range correlations into account by exact diagonalization on the cluster, whereas long-range correlations beyond the size of clusters are treated at the mean-field level. In the limit where the cluster has only one site and the interaction strength $U$ is infinite, this approach reduces to the Gutzwiller approximation. There are some qualitative differences when the size of the cluster is finite. We first compute the critical $U$ for the Mott transition as a function of a frustrating nearest-neighbor interaction on lattices relevant for various correlated systems, namely, the cobaltates, the layered organic superconductors and the high-temperature superconductors. For the triangular lattice, we also study the extended Hubbard model with nearest-neighbor repulsion. In addition to a uniform metallic state, we find a $\sqrt{(3)}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}\sqrt{(3)}$ charge density wave in a broad doping regime, including commensurate ones. We find that in the large $U$ limit, intersite Coulomb repulsion $V$ strongly suppresses the single-particle weight of the metallic state.

The influence of magnetic field on the superconducting properties and the BCS-BEC crossover in systems with local fermion pairing

Agnieszka Cichy

The aim of this Ph.D. thesis was to investigate superconducting properties in the presence of Zeeman magnetic field in systems with local fermion pairing on the lattice. The study also concerned the evolution from the weak coupling (BCS-like) limit to the strong coupling limit of tightly bound local pairs (BEC) with increasing attraction, both in the ground state and at finite temperatures, within the spin-polarized extended Hubbard model. The analysis was also extended to the case of spin dependent hopping integrals (mass imbalance), with special attention paid to the BCS-BEC crossover physics in the ground state. The methods used included: the mean field approximation (BCS-Stoner type) and the estimation of the phase coherence temperature within the Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT) scenario in two dimensions. The BCS-BEC crossover was also analyzed in three dimensions, at finite temperatures, within the spin polarized Attractive Hubbard Model (AHM), going beyond the mean field approximation. In this case, the critical temperatures of the superconducting transition were determined within the self-consistent T-matrix method. The strong coupling expansion was applied to map the spin polarized AHM onto the model of hard-core bosons on the lattice.
