Abstract

Away from half filling and above its Neel temperature, the three-dimensional Hubbard model is a paramagnetic metal with antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations, where controlled momentum-resolved results have been lacking. Using connected-determinant diagrammatic Monte Carlo, we compute the momentum-resolved self-energy for n = 0.4-0.95, T/t = 0.05-0.33 and U/t = 4-8, and the full-zone spin susceptibility at twelve of these points, focusing on U/t = 4. At U/t = 4 and toward half filling the spin fluctuations become strong: for n = 0.7-0.9 at T/t = 0.14 they enhance the susceptibility peak up to sevenfold and raise the momentum-dependent part of the scattering rate to four to five times its second-order value. They are driven by an effective spin interaction screened to about 2U/3 and nearly uniform over the zone. Yet the peak height is set by the slightly smaller value of this interaction at the peak wave vector, and near magnetic order this small difference changes the height by a large factor. Two-particle self-consistent theory reproduces the peak because its sum rule fixes its single constant interaction near this value, but for n = 0.7-0.9 at T/t = 0.14 its self-energy overestimates the local scattering rate and underestimates the momentum-dependent part. Though strong, the fluctuations are short ranged, with a correlation length of at most about two lattice spacings, and for n = 0.7-0.9 and T/t >= 0.14 the scattering rate near the Fermi surface varies by at most about 1% at fixed band energy, without hot spots. At U/t = 4 dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) reproduces the local scattering rate and quasiparticle weight within a few percent, and the nonlocal part it misses is approximately a function of the band energy. Strong spin fluctuations thus coexist with nearly isotropic quasiparticles, and the results provide a benchmark for extensions of DMFT and for spin-fluctuation theories.

Fluctuations Diagnostic of the Spin Susceptibility: Neel Ordering Revisited in DMFT

Lorenzo Del Re, G. Rohringer

In this paper, we revisit the antiferromagnetic (AF) phase diagram of the single-band three-dimensional half-filled Hubbard model on a simple cubic lattice studied within the dynamical mean field theory (DMFT). Although this problem has been investigated extensively in the literature, a comprehensive understanding of the impact of the different one- and, in particular, two-particle local correlation functions of DMFT on the AF transition temperature is still missing. We have, hence, performed a fluctuation diagnostics of $T_N$ with respect to different local bosonic fluctuations (charge, spin, particle-particle) contained in the two-particle vertex of DMFT. Our results indicate that, beyond weak coupling, the screening of the DMFT vertex by local fluctuations leads to an enhancement of $T_N$ with respect to a random phase approximation (RPA) like calculation where this vertex is replaced by the bare interaction. The overall suppression of $T_N$ in DMFT with respect to RPA is then solely due to the incoherence introduced by the DMFT self-energy in the one-particle Green's functions. This illustrates the Janus faced role of the local moment formation in the DMFT solution of the Hubbard model which leads to completely opposite effects in the one- and two-particle correlations functions.

Fluctuations analysis of spin susceptibility: Néel ordering revisited in dynamical mean field theory

Dynamically enhanced magnetic incommensurability: Effects of local dynamics on nonlocal spin correlations in a strongly correlated metal

Demetrio Vilardi, Ciro Taranto, Walter Metzner

We compute the spin susceptibility of the two-dimensional Hubbard model away from half-filling, and analyze the impact of frequency-dependent vertex corrections as obtained from the dynamical mean field theory (DMFT). We find that the local dynamics captured by the DMFT vertex strongly affects nonlocal spin correlations, and thus the momentum dependence of the spin susceptibility. While the widely used random-phase approximation yields commensurate N\'eel-type antiferromagnetism as the dominant instability over a wide doping range, the vertex corrections favor incommensurate ordering wave vectors away from $(\ensuremath{\pi},\ensuremath{\pi})$. Our results indicate that the connection between the magnetic ordering wave vector and the Fermi surface geometry, familiar for weakly interacting systems, can hold in a strongly correlated metal, too.

Renormalized parameters and perturbation theory in dynamical mean-field theory for the Hubbard model

Alex C. Hewson

We calculate the renormalized parameters for the quasiparticles and their interactions for the Hubbard model in the paramagnetic phase as deduced from the low-energy Fermi-liquid fixed point using the results of a numerical renormalization-group calculation (NRG) and dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT). Even in the low-density limit there is significant renormalization of the local quasiparticle interaction $\stackrel{\ifmmode \tilde{}\else \~{}\fi{}}{U}$, in agreement with estimates based on the two-particle scattering theory of J. Kanamori [Prog. Theor. Phys. 30, 275 (1963)]. On the approach to the Mott transition we find a finite ratio for $\stackrel{\ifmmode \tilde{}\else \~{}\fi{}}{U}/\stackrel{\ifmmode \tilde{}\else \~{}\fi{}}{D}$, where $2\stackrel{\ifmmode \tilde{}\else \~{}\fi{}}{D}$ is the renormalized bandwidth, which is independent of whether the transition is approached by increasing the on-site interaction $U$ or on increasing the density to half filling. The leading ${\ensuremath{\omega}}^{2}$ term in the self-energy and the local dynamical spin and charge susceptibilities are calculated within the renormalized perturbation theory (RPT) and compared with the results calculated directly from the NRG-DMFT. We also suggest, more generally from the DMFT, how an approximate expression for the $\mathbf{q},\ensuremath{\omega}$ spin susceptibility $\ensuremath{\chi}(\mathbf{q},\ensuremath{\omega})$ can be derived from repeated quasiparticle scattering with a local renormalized scattering vertex.

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.

Origin and fate of the pseudogap in the doped Hubbard model

Fedor Šimkovic, Riccardo Rossi, Antoine Georges +1 more

We investigate the doped two-dimensional Hubbard model at finite temperature using controlled diagrammatic Monte Carlo calculations allowing for the computation of spectral properties in the infinite-size limit and, crucially, with arbitrary momentum resolution. We show that three distinct regimes are found as a function of doping and interaction strength, corresponding to a weakly correlated metal with properties close to those of the non-interacting system, a correlated metal with strong interaction effects including a reshaping of the Fermi surface, and a pseudogap regime at low doping in which quasiparticle excitations are selectively destroyed near the antinodal regions of momentum space. We study the physical mechanism leading to the pseudogap and show that it forms both at weak coupling when the magnetic correlation length is large and at strong coupling when it is shorter. In both cases, we show that spin-fluctuation theory can be modified in order to account for the behavior of the non-local component of the self-energy. We discuss the fate of the pseudogap as temperature goes to zero and show that, remarkably, this regime extrapolates precisely to the ordered stripe phase found by ground-state methods. This handshake between finite temperature and ground-state results significantly advances the elaboration of a comprehensive picture of the physics of the doped Hubbard model.
