Abstract

Antiferromagnetic ground states, when doped, give rise to rich and complex phenomena, prompting detailed investigations in various spin systems. Here, we study the effect of doping on the one-dimensional $S = 1$ antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model (AFM). Specifically, we investigate how the presence of holes affects the static and dynamic (frequency-dependent) spin-spin correlations of the two-orbital Hubbard-Kanamori chain. The latter, at half-filling and in the strong-interaction limit, maps onto an $S = 1$ Heisenberg model. For moderate interactions, an orbital resonating-valence-bond (orbital-RVB) state emerges up to doping levels of $x \lesssim 0.3$. A detailed analysis of interaction strength $U$ and doping concentration $x$ reveals that this phase inherits the key features of spin excitations found in the half-filled case -- namely, a gapped spin spectrum and ``coherent'' magnon behavior up to a wavevector $q$ determined by the Fermi vector, $2k_\mathrm{F} = π(1 - x)$. Furthermore, our results uncover an additional broad, incoherent spectral weight for $q \gtrsim 2k_\mathrm{F}$ at high frequencies. Finally, we show that near the transition to a ferromagnetic phase, a previously unidentified spiral-like state emerges, characterized by spin excitations reminiscent of the $J_1$-$J_2$ Heisenberg model.

Lieb and hole-doped ferrimagnetism, spiral, resonating valence-bond states, and phase separation in large-U $AB_{2}$ Hubbard chains

V. M. Martinez Alvarez, Mauricio D. Coutinho-Filho

The ground state (GS) properties of the quasi-one-dimensional $AB_2$ Hubbard model are investigated taking the effects of charge and spin quantum fluctuations on equal footing. In the strong-coupling regime, we derive a low-energy Lagrangian suitable to describe the ferrimagnetic phase at half filling and the phases in the hole-doped regime. At half filling, a perturbative spin-wave analysis allows us to find the GS energy, sublattice magnetizations, and Lieb total spin per unit cell of the effective quantum Heisenberg model, in very good agreement with previous results. In the challenging hole doping regime away from half filling, we derive the corresponding $t\textrm{-}J$ Hamiltonian. Under the assumption that charge and spin quantum correlations are decoupled, the evolution of the second-order spin-wave modes in the doped regime unveils the occurrence of spatially modulated spin structures and the emergence of phase separation in the presence of resonating-valence-bond states. We also calculate the doping-dependent GS energy and total spin per unit cell, in which case it is shown that the spiral ferrimagnetic order collapses at a critical hole concentration. Notably, our analytical results in the doped regime are in very good agreement with density matrix renormalization group studies, where our assumption of spin-charge decoupling is numerically supported by the formation of charge-density waves in anti-phase with the modulation of the magnetic structure.

Topological and strongly correlated phases in low-dimensional systems

Martínez Álvarez, Víctor Manuel

In the first part of the present Thesis, the ground state (GS) properties of the quasi-one-dimensional AB₂ Hubbard model are investigated taking the effects of charge and spin quantum fluctuations on equal footing. Using a functional integral approach, combined with a perturbative expansion in the strong-coupling regime, we obtain the Lagrangian density associated with the charge (Grassmann fields) and spin [SU(2) gauge fields] degrees of freedom. In the strong-coupling regime, we derive a perturbative low-energy theory suitable to describe the ferrimagnetic phase at half filling and the phases in the hole-doped regime. At half filling, a perturbative spin-wave analysis allows us to find the GS energy, sublattice magnetizations, and total spin per unit cell in the Lieb ferrimagnetic GS of the effective quantum Heisenberg model, in very good agreement with previous results. In the challenging hole doping regime away from half filling, we derive the corresponding t-J Hamiltonian. Under the assumption that charge and spin quantum correlations are decoupled, the evolution of the second-order spin-wave modes in the doped regime unveils the occurrence of spatially modulated spin structures and the emergence of phase separation in the presence of resonatingvalence-bond (RVB) states. We also calculate the doping-dependent GS energy and total spin per unit cell, including both Zeeman and orbital contributions, in which case it is shown that the spiral ferrimagnetic order collapses at a critical hole concentration. Notably, our analytical results in the doped regime are in very good agreement with density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) studies, where our assumption of spin-charge decoupling is numerically supported by the formation of charge-density waves in anti-phase with the modulation of the magnetic structure. In the second part, motivated by analogy with photonic lattices, we examine the edge states of a one-dimensional trimer lattice in the phases with and without inversion symmetry protection. In contrast to the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model, we show that the edge states in the inversion-symmetry broken phase of the trimer model turn out to be chiral, i.e., instead of appearing in pairs localized at opposite edges they can appear at a single edge. Interestingly, these chiral edge states remain robust to large amounts of disorder. In addition, we use the Zak phase to characterize the emergence of degenerate edge states in the inversion-symmetric phase of the trimer model. Furthermore, we capture the essentials of the whole family of trimers through a mapping onto the commensurate off-diagonal Aubry-André-Harper model, which allows us to establish a direct connection between chiral edge modes in the two models, including the calculation of Chern numbers.We thus suggest that the chiral edge modes of the trimer lattice have a topological origin inherited from this effective mapping. Also, we find a nontrivial connection between the topological phase transition point in the trimer lattice and the one in its associated two-dimensional parent system, in agreement with results in the context of Thouless pumping in photonic lattices.

Orbital polarons versus itinerant eg electrons in doped manganites

Maria Daghofer, Andrzej M. Oleś, Wolfgang von der Linden

We study an effective one-dimensional (1-D) orbital $t\text{\ensuremath{-}}J$ model derived for strongly correlated ${e}_{g}$ electrons in doped manganites. The ferromagnetic spin order at half filling is supported by orbital superexchange $\ensuremath{\propto}J$ which stabilizes orbital order with alternating ${x}^{2}\ensuremath{-}{y}^{2}$ and $3{z}^{2}\ensuremath{-}{r}^{2}$ orbitals. In a doped system it competes with the kinetic energy $\ensuremath{\propto}t$. When a single hole is doped to a half-filled chain, its motion is hindered and a localized orbital polaron is formed. An increasing doping generates either separated polarons or phase separation into hole-rich and hole-poor regions, and eventually polarizes the orbitals and gives a metallic phase with occupied $3{z}^{2}\ensuremath{-}{r}^{2}$ orbitals. This crossover, investigated by exact diagonalization at zero temperature, is demonstrated both by the behavior of correlation functions and by spectral properties, showing that the orbital chain with Ising superexchange is more classical and thus radically different from the 1-D spin $t\text{\ensuremath{-}}J$ model. At finite temperature we derive and investigate an effective 1-D orbital model using a combination of exact diagonalization with classical Monte Carlo for spin correlations. A competition between the antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic spin order was established at half filling, and localized polarons were found for antiferromagnetic interactions at low hole doping. Finally, we clarify that the Jahn-Teller alternating potential stabilizes the orbital order with staggered orbitals, inducing the ferromagnetic spin order, and enhancing the localized features in the excitation spectra. Implications of these findings for colossal magnetoresistance manganites are discussed.

Antiferromagnetic correlations in the two-dimensional Hubbard model

Bumsoo Kyung

We study the temperature and doping dependence of the two-dimensional (2D) Hubbard model in the intermediate coupling regime $(U=4).$ As temperature is decreased for a half-filled band, 2D critical spin fluctuations give rise to a strong local maximum in $|\mathrm{Im}\ensuremath{\Sigma}({k}_{F},\ensuremath{\omega})|$ at $\ensuremath{\omega}=0,$ leading to a split peak in the spectral function. These strong fluctuations dominating near half filling are completely destroyed by 12% doping concentration. Below this concentration the imaginary part of the self-energy vanishes nearly quadratically in frequency at the Fermi energy, a Fermi-liquid-like feature. With varying the temperature at this concentration, we present numerical evidence for the band Kondo effect in the doped 2D Hubbard model by showing at low temperatures a growing peak in the density of states, nearly quadratically vanishing (in frequency) scattering rates at the Fermi energy and a linearly vanishing (in temperature) effective magnetic moment.

Hubbard-Kanamori model: spectral functions, negative electron compressibility, and susceptibilities

A Sherman

Abstract The two-orbital Hubbard-Kanamori model is studied using the strong coupling diagram technique. This approach allows one to take into account the interactions of electrons with spin, charge, and orbital fluctuations of all ranges. It was found that, at low temperatures, the model has four regions of the negative electron compressibility, which can lead to charge inhomogeneities with the assistance of phonons. For half-filling, the phase diagram of the model contains regions of the Mott and Slater insulators, bad-metal, and states with spin-polaron peaks. These sharp peaks at the Fermi level are seen in doped states also. A finite Hund coupling leads to a large increase of antiferromagnetic spin correlations with strong suppression of charge and orbital fluctuations near half-filling. For moderate doping, all types of correlations become comparable. They peak at the antiferromagnetic wave vector except for a narrow region with an incommensurate response. Stronger doping destroys all correlations.
