Spin correlations in the bilayer Hubbard model with perpendicular electric field

Abstract

We present a nonequilibrium steady-state implementation of the two-particle self-consistent method. This approach respects the Mermin-Wagner theorem and incorporates nonlocal spatial fluctuations through self-consistent static vertices. The real-frequency implementation allows one to compute spectral properties without analytical continuation in both equilibrium and nonequilibrium. As an interesting application, we investigate spin correlations in the bilayer square lattice Hubbard model under a perpendicular static electric field. In equilibrium, the result yields spin correlations which are in good agreement with recent optical lattice experiments. Under a large enough static electric field, the interlayer spin correlations switch from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic. We clarify how this phenomenon is linked to the nonequilibrium modifications of the spin excitation spectrum.

Excitonic correlations in the equilibrium and voltage-biased bilayer Hubbard model: Multiorbital two-particle self-consistent approach

Jiawei Yan, Jonas B. Profe, Yuta Murakami +1 more

We develop a nonequilibrium multi-orbital extension of the two-particle self-consistent theory and apply it to the bilayer Hubbard model as a minimal platform to investigate correlation effects in the presence of interlayer interactions and tunneling. The method determines vertex corrections in the spin and charge channels self-consistently at the two-particle level, thereby avoiding the spurious finite-temperature phase transitions that limit dynamical mean-field theory in two dimensions. We derive the spectral self-energy and implement the framework directly on the real-frequency axis within the Keldysh nonequilibrium Green's function formalism, enabling the treatment of both equilibrium and non-equilibrium steady states without relying on numerical analytic continuation. As an application, we demonstrate that a pseudogap can emerge in the bilayer Hubbard model when spin, charge, or excitonic fluctuations become sufficiently strong. Instabilities in different channels are also evaluated in an unbiased manner across the parameter space. Remarkably, we find that the excitonic susceptibility grows with increasing interlayer bias, before it gets suppressed at large biases by the charge imbalance between the layers. This work establishes a versatile and computationally efficient framework for investigating correlated multi-orbital systems under nonequilibrium conditions.

Nonequilibrium two-particle self-consistent approach

Olivier Simard, Philipp Werner

We present the nonequilibrium implementation of the two-particle self-consistent (TPSC) approach, which has been shown to provide a reliable equilibrium description of interacting lattice systems in the weak- and intermediate-correlation regime. This method captures the effects of local and nonlocal correlations in two- and higher-dimensional systems and satisfies the Mermin-Wagner theorem. We demonstrate the versatility of nonequilibrium TPSC with calculations of the time-dependent spin and charge response functions and the evolution of effective temperatures extracted from different correlation functions, after interaction ramps in the two-dimensional Hubbard model.

Ultrafast electric field controlled spin correlations in the Hubbard model

Nagamalleswararao Dasari, Martin Eckstein

Highly intense electric field pulses can move the electronic momentum occupation in correlated metals over large portions of the Brillouin zone, leading to phenomena such as dynamic Bloch oscillations. Using the nonequilibrium fluctuation-exchange approximation for the two-dimensional Hubbard model, we study how such nonthermal electron distributions drive collective spin and charge fluctuations. Suitable pulses can induce a highly anisotropic modification of the occupied momenta, and the corresponding spin dynamics results in a transient change from antiferromagnetic to anisotropic ferromagnetic correlations. To good approximation this behavior is understood in terms of an instantaneous response of the spin correlations to the single-particle properties.

Non-perturbative treatment of charge and spin fluctuations in the two-dimensional extended Hubbard model: Extended two-particle self-consistent approach

B. Davoudi, A.–M. S. Tremblay

We study the spin and charge fluctuations of the extended Hubbard model with on-site interaction $U$ and first neighbor interaction $V$ on the two-dimensional square lattice in the weak to intermediate coupling regime. We propose an extension of the two-particle self-consistent approximation that includes the effect of functional derivatives of the pair-correlation functions on irreducible spin and charge vertices. These functional derivatives were ignored in our previous work. We evaluate them assuming particle-hole symmetry. The resulting theory satisfies conservation laws and the Mermin-Wagner theorem. Our current results are in much better agreement with benchmark quantum Monte Carlo results. This theory allows us to reliably determine the crossover temperatures toward renormalized-classical regimes, and hence, the dominant instability as a function of $U$ and $V$. We have considered fillings $n=1$ and $n=0.75$. Either spin or charge fluctuations can dominate. The wave vector is self-determined by the approach.

Ferromagnetism and nonlocal correlations in the Hubbard model

Stefan W. Henning, Wolfgang Nolting

We study the possibility and stability of band ferromagnetism in the single-band Hubbard model for the simple cubic (sc) lattice. A nonlocal self-energy is derived within a modified perturbation theory. Results for the spectral density and quasiparticle density of states are shown with special attention to the effects of $\mathbf{k}$ dependence. The importance of nonlocal correlations for the fulfillment of the Mermin-Wagner theorem is our main result. A phase diagram showing regions of ferromagnetic order is calculated for the three-dimensional lattice. Besides, we show results for the optical conductivity and prove that the renormalized one-loop contribution to the conductivity already cancels the Drude peak exactly in case of a local self-energy which is not true anymore for a nonlocal self-energy.

Antiferromagnetism in the Hubbard model on the honeycomb lattice: A two-particle self-consistent study

S. Arya, P. V. Sriluckshmy, Syed R. Hassan +1 more

The semimetal to antiferromagnet quantum phase transition of the Hubbard model on the honeycomb lattice has come to the forefront in the context of the proposal that a semimetal to spin liquid transition can occur before the transition to the antiferromagnetic phase. To study the semimetal to antiferromagnet transition, we generalize the two-particle self-consistent (TPSC) approach to the honeycomb lattice (a structure that can be realized in graphene for example). We show that the critical interaction strength where the transition occurs is ${U}_{c}/t=3.79\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.01$, quite close to the value ${U}_{c}/t=3.869\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.013$ reported using large-scale quantum Monte Carlo simulations. This reinforces the conclusion that the semimetal to spin-liquid transition is preempted by the transition to the antiferromagnet. Since TPSC satisfies the Mermin-Wagner theorem, we find temperature-dependent results for the antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic correlation lengths as well as the dependence of double occupancy and of the renormalized spin and charge interactions on the bare interaction strength. We also estimate the value of the crossover temperature to the renormalized classical regime as a function of interaction strength.
