Spin and charge excitations of the degenerate Hubbard model in one dimension

Abstract

The degenerate Hubbard chain with N internal degrees of freedom is integrable if site occupations of more than two electrons are excluded. The ground state of the model has several unusual properties; e.g., the magnetic susceptibility has logarithmic singularities as the field H\ensuremath{\rightarrow}0 and also the specific-heat coefficient is singular. An extensive discussion of ground-state properties as a function of U and the band filling is presented. The elemental charge and spin excitations are derived for arbitrary U and band filling. If, on average, there is exactly one electron per site as a function of U, a qualitative change in the low-energy charge excitations is found at a critical value ${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{c}}$. This change is probably associated with a Mott metal-insulator transition (${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{c}}$=0 for N=2). The Fermi velocity is finite for U${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{c}}$ but vanishes for U>${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{c}}$ (for one electron per site). The spin-wave velocity is inversely proportional to the magnetic susceptibility for all U and band fillings. There are N-1 elemental spin-wave branches. For arbitrary band filling there are then N-1 soft modes at different finite momenta, all related to the Fermi surface. For exactly one electron per site, the spin-excitation spectrum can be mapped onto the one of the SU(N) Heisenberg chain. The implications of the hole states on superconductivity are also discussed.

Metal-insulator transition in an one-dimensional two-band Hubbard-like model

P. Schlottmann

We consider a one-dimensional two-band model of electrons on a lattice with equal nearest-neighbour hopping, an interband splitting Delta and a Hubbard-like repulsion U. The model is defined via the SU(4) generalization of Lieb and Wu's Bethe ansatz solution of the one-dimensional Hubbard model. At T=0 the model has a Mott metal-insulator transition at a critical value U c ( Delta ) for a band filling of exactly one electron per site. U c decreases with Delta , being zero if the excited-electron band is empty, and U c =2.981 when the bands are degenerate. We discuss the ground-state properties, the spectrum of elemental excitations, the specific heat and the magnetic susceptibility, in both the metallic and insulating phases, as a function of the crystal-field splitting for exactly one electron per site. There are four branches of elemental excitations: (i) charge excitations, (ii) crystalline-field excitations and (iii) two branches of spin waves. The Fermi velocity is finite in the metallic phase, diverges as the metal-insulator transition is approached from the metallic side and vanishes for the insulator. Each band contributes to the susceptibility with a term that is inversely proportional to the spin-wave velocity for that band. The low-temperature specific heat is proportional to T and to the sum of the inverses of the velocities of the four branches.

Anomalous low-temperature properties of the degenerate one-dimensional Hubbard model

Kong-Ju-Bock Lee, P. Schlottmann

Unusual properties of the Hubbard chain of arbitrary degeneracy N and excluded-site occupations of more than two electrons are presented: (i) In zero field and in the limit of large N the ground state resembles an interacting Bose gas. The 1/N contributions vanish identically, so that corrections to leading order are 1/${\mathrm{N}}^{2}$. (ii) The susceptibility at T=0 shows logarithmic singularities as H\ensuremath{\rightarrow}0. (iii) The Hubbard model and the Heisenberg chain have the same low-energy spin excitations for all U. (iv) The specific-heat coefficient \ensuremath{\gamma} is singular. These properties hold for arbitrary band filling and (ii)--(iv) hold for all N\ensuremath{\ge}2.

The excitation spectrum of the orbitally degenerate Hubbard model in one dimension: absence of Cooper pairing

Kong-Ju-Bock Lee, P. Schlottmann

The degenerate Hubbard chain with N internal degrees of freedom is integrable if site occupations of more than two electrons are excluded. If on average there is exactly one electron per site, the system is a Mott-Hubbard insulator. The authors discuss the elemental charge and spin excitations, the effects of crystalline fields quenching the orbital degrees of freedom, and the implications of hole states for superconductivity.

Ground state properties and excitation spectrum of the degenerate supersymmetric t-J model in one dimension

P. Schlottmann

The authors considers the one-dimensional SU(N)-invariant t-J model which consists of electrons with N spin components on a lattice with nearest-neighbour hopping t constrained by the excluded multiple occupancy of the lattice sites and spin-exchange J between neighbouring lattice sites. The model is integrable at the supersymmetric point t=J. The ground state Bethe ansatz equations are analysed and solved numerically for arbitrary band filling and several values of N. The ground state energy, the chemical potential and the spin susceptibility are obtained as a function of band filling. The elemental charge and spin excitations are derived for arbitrary N and band filling. The energy of the charge excitations vanishes at the Fermi surface. The Fermi velocity has a maximum as a function of band filling, vanishing for the empty and full bands. The spinwave velocity is inversely proportional to the susceptibility. For exactly one electron per site the charge fluctuations are suppressed and the Bethe ansatz equations map onto those of the SU(N)-invariant Heisenberg chain.

Metal-insulator transition in an Hubbard-like model with degeneracy in one dimension

P. Schlottmann

We consider the SU(N) generalization of the one-dimensional Hubbard model with arbitrary degeneracy N (spin and orbital degrees of freedom). This model is integrable and has several unusual properties at low temperatures. The Bethe-Ansatz equations at T=0 are analyzed in the thermodynamic limit in the absence of external fields. In the continuum limit, the effective interaction between the charge degrees of freedom corresponds to a potential of the form [sinh(ax)${]}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}2}$, where x is the distance between the particles involved and a is an inverse length scale. In the limit N\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty} and in the continuum limit, the charges reduce to a Bose gas interacting via a \ensuremath{\delta}-function potential. We further address here the properties of the charge degrees of freedom for a band filling close to one electron per site. The charge excitations obey Fermi statistics. We find a Mott metal-insulator transition at a critical value ${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{c}}$ of the Coulomb repulsion. ${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{c}}$ depends on N (${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{c}}$=0 for N=2). A qualitative change in the charge-rapidity distribution is found at ${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{c}}$. The Fermi velocity is finite for U${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{c}}$, diverges as U\ensuremath{\rightarrow}${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{c}}$, and vanishes for U>${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{c}}$.

Phase transitions and exact ground-state properties of the one-dimensional Hubbard model in a magnetic field

Chia‐Wei Yang, ARMEN N. KOCHARIAN, Y. L. Chiang

The exact phase diagrams of the one-dimensional Hubbard model, both attractive and repulsive, in the presence of an arbitrary magnetic field h for various electron concentrations n and on-site interaction strengths U <0 or U >0 are calculated and investigated. The exact ground-state properties, namely, the ground-state energy, the average spin (magnetization), the concentration of the doubly occupied sites, the kinetic energy, the chemical potential, the spin (magnetic) susceptibility and the charge compressibility, are calculated and examined over a wide range of interaction strengths U for various h and n . It is found that the spin susceptibility at half-filling is non-analytic and changes discontinuously as U →0. The exact theory shows the absence of a charge energy gap in the U ⩽0 region for all n and provides, for the chemical potential, the rigorous upper and lower bounds for half-filled and empty bands respectively. The analytical results derived for the weak-coupling limit and asymptotic expansions for strong coupling are in full agreement with the numerical calculations.

The exact phase diagrams of the one-dimensional Hubbard model, both attractive and repulsive, in the presence of an arbitrary magnetic field h for various electron concentrations n and on-site interaction strengths U <0 or U >0 are calculated and investigated. The exact ground-state properties, namely, the ground-state energy, the average spin (magnetization), the concentration of the doubly occupied sites, the kinetic energy, the chemical potential, the spin (magnetic) susceptibility and the charge compressibility, are calculated and examined over a wide range of interaction strengths U for various h and n . It is found that the spin susceptibility at half-filling is non-analytic and changes discontinuously as U →0. The exact theory shows the absence of a charge energy gap in the U ⩽0 region for all n and provides, for the chemical potential, the rigorous upper and lower bounds for half-filled and empty bands respectively. The analytical results derived for the weak-coupling limit and asymptotic expansions for strong coupling are in full agreement with the numerical calculations.
