Charge-order on the triangular lattice: Effects of next-nearest-neighbor attraction in finite temperatures

Abstract

The extended Hubbard model in the atomic limit, which is equivalent to lattice S=1/2 fermionic gas, is considered on the triangular lattice. The model includes onsite Hubbard U interaction and both nearest-neighbor (W1) and next-nearest-neighbor (W2) density–density intersite interactions. The variational approach treating the U term exactly and the Wl terms in the mean-field approximation is used to investigate thermodynamics of the model and to find its finite temperature (T>0) phase diagrams (as a function of particle concentration) for W1>0 and W2<0. Two different types of charge-order (i.e., DCO and TCO phases) within 3×3 unit cells as well as the nonordered (NO) phase occur on the diagram. Moreover, several kinds of phase-separated (PS) states (NO/DCO, DCO/DCO, DCO/TCO, and TCO/TCO) are found to be stable for fixed concentration. Attractive W2<0 stabilizes PS states at T=0 and it extends the regions of their occurrence at T>0. The evolution of the diagrams with increasing of |W2|/W1 is investigated. It is found that some of the PS states are stable only at T>0. Two different critical values of |W2|/W1 are determined for the PS states, in which two ordered phases of the same type (i.e., two domains of the DCO or TCO phase) coexist.

Charge-Order on the Triangular Lattice: A Mean-Field Study for the Lattice S = 1/2 Fermionic Gas

Konrad Jerzy Kapcia

The adsorbed atoms exhibit tendency to occupy a triangular lattice formed by periodic potential of the underlying crystal surface. Such a lattice is formed by, e.g., a single layer of graphane or the graphite surfaces as well as (111) surface of face-cubic center crystals. In the present work, an extension of the lattice gas model to S=1/2 fermionic particles on the two-dimensional triangular (hexagonal) lattice is analyzed. In such a model, each lattice site can be occupied not by only one particle, but by two particles, which interact with each other by onsite U and intersite W1 and W2 (nearest and next-nearest-neighbor, respectively) density-density interaction. The investigated hamiltonian has a form of the extended Hubbard model in the atomic limit (i.e., the zero-bandwidth limit). In the analysis of the phase diagrams and thermodynamic properties of this model with repulsive W1>0, the variational approach is used, which treats the onsite interaction term exactly and the intersite interactions within the mean-field approximation. The ground state (T=0) diagram for W2≤0 as well as finite temperature (T>0) phase diagrams for W2=0 are presented. Two different types of charge order within 3×3 unit cell can occur. At T=0, for W2=0 phase separated states are degenerated with homogeneous phases (but T>0 removes this degeneration), whereas attractive W2<0 stabilizes phase separation at incommensurate fillings. For U/W1<0 and U/W1>1/2 only the phase with two different concentrations occurs (together with two different phase separated states occurring), whereas for small repulsive 0<U/W1<1/2 the other ordered phase also appears (with tree different concentrations in sublattices). The qualitative differences with the model considered on hypercubic lattices are also discussed.

Phase diagram of the half-filled extended Hubbard model in two dimensions

Biplab Chattopadhyay, D. M. Gaitonde

We consider an extended Hubbard model of interacting fermions on a lattice. The fermion kinetic energy corresponds to a tight-binding Hamiltonian with nearest-neighbor (-t) and next-nearest-neighbor (${\mathrm{t}}^{|\mathrm{I}\mathrm{H}}$) hopping matrix elements. In addition to the on-site Hubbard interaction (U) we also consider a nearest-neighbor repulsion (V). We obtain the zero-temperature phase diagram of our model within the Hartree-Fock approximation. We consider ground states having charge- and spin-density-wave ordering as well as states with orbital antiferromagnetism or spin nematic order. The latter two states correspond to particle-hole binding with ${\mathrm{d}}_{{\mathrm{x}}^{2}\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}{\mathrm{y}}^{2}}$ symmetry in the charge and spin channels, respectively. For ${\mathrm{t}}^{|\mathrm{I}\mathrm{H}}$=0, only the charge-density-wave and spin-density-wave states are energetically stable. For nonzero ${\mathrm{t}}^{|\mathrm{I}\mathrm{H}}$, we find that orbital antiferromagnetism (or spin nematic) order is stable over a finite portion of the phase diagram at weak coupling. This region of stability is seen to grow with increasing values of ${\mathrm{t}}^{|\mathrm{I}\mathrm{H}}$.

Localized fermions on the triangular lattice with Ising-like interactions

Lubomíra Regeciová, Konrad Jerzy Kapcia

The model of localized fermions on the triangular lattice is analyzed in means of the Monte Carlo simulations in the grand canonical ensemble. The Hamiltonian of the system has a form of the extended Hubbard model (at the atomic limit) with nearest-neighbor Ising-like magnetic J interactions and onsite Coulomb U interactions. The model is investigated for both signs of J, arbitrary U interaction, and arbitrary chemical potential μ (or, equivalently, arbitrary particle concentration n). Based on the specific heat capacity and sublattice magnetization analyses, the phase diagrams of the model are determined. For ferromagnetic case (J<0), the transition from the ordered phase (which is a standard ferromagnet and can be stable up to k_{B}T/|J|≈0.61) is found to be second order (for sufficiently large temperatures k_{B}T/|J|≳0.2) or first order (for -1<U/|J|<-0.65 at the half-filling, i.e., n=1). In the case of J>0, the ordered phase occurs in a range of -1/2<U/|J|<0 (for n=1), while for larger U the state with short-range order is also found (also for n≠1). The ordered phase is characterized by an antiferromagnetic arrangement of magnetic moments in two sublattices forming the hexagonal lattice. The transition from this ordered phase, which is found also for μ≠0 (n≠1) and U/|J|>-1/2 is always second order for any model parameters. The ordered phase for J>0 can be stable up to k_{B}T/|J|≈0.06.

Some Properties of Two-Dimensional Extended Repulsive Hubbard Model with Intersite Magnetic Interactions - A~Monte Carlo Study

Szymon Murawski, Konrad Jerzy Kapcia, Grzegorz Pawłowski +1 more

In this paper the two-dimensional extended Hubbard model with intersite magnetic Ising-like interaction in the atomic limit is analyzed by means of the classical Monte Carlo method in the grand canonical ensemble.Such an eective simple model could describe behavior of insulating (anti)ferromagnets.In the model considered the Coulomb interaction (U ) is on-site and the magnetic interactions in z-direction (J > 0, antiferromagnetic) are restricted to nearest-neighbors.Simulations of the model have been performed on a square lattice consisting of N = L × L = 400 sites (L = 20) in order to obtain the full phase diagram for U/(4J) = 1.Results obtained for on-site repulsion (U > 0) show that, apart from homogeneous non-ordered (NO) and ordered magnetic (antiferromagnetic, AF) phases, there is also a region of phase separation (PS: AF/NO) occurrence.We present a phase diagram as well as some thermodynamic properties of the model for the case of U/(4J) = 1 (and arbitrary chemical potential and arbitrary electron concentration).The AFNO transition can be second-order as well as rst-order and the tricritical point occurs on the diagram.

Possible Ordered States in the 2D Extended Hubbard Model

Masakazu Murakami

Possible ordered states in the 2D extended Hubbard model with on-site (U>0) and nearest-neighbor (V) interaction are examined near half filling, with emphasis on the effect of finite V. First, the phase diagram at absolute zero is determined in the mean field approximation. For $V<0$, a state where d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}-wave superconductivity (dSC), commensurate spin-density-wave (SDW) and $π$-triplet pair coexist is seen to be stabilized. Here, the importance of $π$-triplet pair on the coexistence of dSC and SDW is indicated. This coexistent state is hampered by the phase separation (PS), which is generally expected to occur in the presence of finite-range attractive interaction, but survives. For V>0, a state where commensurate charge-density-wave (CDW), SDW and ferromagnetism (FM) coexist is seen to be stabilized. Here, the importance of FM on the coexistence of CDW and SDW is indicated. Next, in order to examine the effects of fluctuation on each mean field ordered state, the renormalization group method for the special case that the Fermi level lies just on the saddle points, ($π$,0) and (0,$π$), is applied. The crucial difference from the mean field result is that superconductivity can arise even for U>0 and $V\geq0$, where the superconducting gap symmetry is d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}-wave for U>4V and s-wave for U<4V. Finally, the possibilities that the mean field coexistent states survive in the presence of fluctuation are discussed.

Functional renormalization group approach for extended Hubbard model in a triangular lattice

Hirokazu Takashima, Sumio Ishihara

The extended Hubbard model in an anisotropic triangular lattice is analyzed at quarter filling by the functional renormalization group (fRG) approach. We obtain the finite temperature phase diagram in the plane of nearest inter-site Coulomb interaction Vp and next-nearest Coulomb interaction Vc. When Vp ? Vc, charge order does not occur down to the low temperature of 0.1tp, where the tp is the electron transfer between the nearest neighbor sites. We interpret the result using the random-phase approximation(RPA).

We consider an extended Hubbard model of interacting fermions on a lattice. The fermion kinetic energy corresponds to a tight-binding Hamiltonian with nearest-neighbor (-t) and next-nearest-neighbor (t∣IH{\mathrm{t}}^{|\mathrm{I}\mathrm{H}}t∣IH) hopping matrix elements. In addition to the on-site Hubbard interaction (U) we also consider a nearest-neighbor repulsion (V). We obtain the zero-temperature phase diagram of our model within the Hartree-Fock approximation. We consider ground states having charge- and spin-density-wave ordering as well as states with orbital antiferromagnetism or spin nematic order. The latter two states correspond to particle-hole binding with ${\mathrm{d}}_{{\mathrm{x}}^{2}\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}{\mathrm{y}}^{2}}$ symmetry in the charge and spin channels, respectively. For t∣IH{\mathrm{t}}^{|\mathrm{I}\mathrm{H}}t∣IH=0, only the charge-density-wave and spin-density-wave states are energetically stable. For nonzero t∣IH{\mathrm{t}}^{|\mathrm{I}\mathrm{H}}t∣IH, we find that orbital antiferromagnetism (or spin nematic) order is stable over a finite portion of the phase diagram at weak coupling. This region of stability is seen to grow with increasing values of t∣IH{\mathrm{t}}^{|\mathrm{I}\mathrm{H}}t∣IH.
