Charge correlations in a two-band Hubbard model: Exact results for zero-bandwidth CuO chains

Abstract

A one-dimensional two-band Hubbard model describing CuO chains is considered in the limit of zero bandwidth. Onsite and nearest-neighbor Coulomb interactions are included in the description. Various density correlation functions are calculated exactly at arbitrary concentration of holes. For increasing values of the intersite Coulomb interaction V, the system is driven towards both a charge-transfer instability and a phase separation instability when doped away from half filling. In the case of one hole added to the half-filled system, it is shown that a hole binds to a biexciton. Three-body bound states recently proposed to produce the marginal Fermi-liquid spectrum also occur naturally in the model, but a finite amount of doping away from half filling is necessary for them to form to an appreciable extent in the thermodynamic limit.

Antiferromagnetic, charge-transfer, and pairing correlations in the three-band Hubbard model

Richard T. Scalettar, Douglas J. Scalapino, Robert L. Sugar +1 more

The ${\mathrm{CuO}}_{2}$ sheets common to the superconducting cuprates are believed to be characterized by a charge-transfer gap in their insulating antiferromagnetic state. The three-band Hubbard model with an on-site Cu Coulomb interaction ${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{d}}$, which is large compared to the difference in energy \ensuremath{\varepsilon} between the O and Cu sites, provides a basic model for such a system. We have carried out Lanczos and Monte Carlo studies of a ${\mathrm{CuO}}_{2}$ lattice described by a three-band Hubbard model. For ${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{d}}$ large compared with \ensuremath{\varepsilon}, and \ensuremath{\varepsilon} comparable to or larger than the bandwidth of the lower hole band, we find strong antiferromagnetic correlations and evidence for a charge-transfer gap at a filling of one hole per Cu. The antiferromagnetic correlations decrease with either hole or electron doping, and we see that the additional holes go primarily on the O sites, while additional electrons go onto the Cu sites. For large values of the intersite Cu-O Coulomb interaction V, the hole-doped system exhibits a charge-transfer instability. As V is reduced, this is reflected as a peak in the charge-transfer susceptibility near \ensuremath{\varepsilon}+2V\ensuremath{\approxeq}${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{d}}$, which we find is washed out by the strong Cu-O hybridization at realistic values of V. Attractive pairing interactions are found in both the d-wave and extended ${\mathit{s}}^{\mathrm{*}}$-wave channels near the antiferromagnetic boundary.

Electron-phonon coupling in the two-dimensional Hubbard model: A Monte Carlo study

A. Muramatsu, Werner R. Hanke

On the basis of quantum Monte Carlo simulations we study the influence of "breathing" lattice distortions on the two-dimensional Hubbard model. In the half-filled band case the system remains stable against the formation of a charge-density wave already for intermediate values ($U=4t$) of the electronic interaction. However, the addition of holes allows for a charge-density-wave state. Thus, the structural instability is not driven by nesting of the Fermi surface, but by the combined effect of doping and Coulomb correlation. The influence of the distortion on the various pairing correlation functions is calculated.

Phase separation and the existence of superconductivity in a one-dimensional copper-oxygen model

Anders W. Sandvik, Asle Sudbø

The phase-separation instability occurring with increasing nearest-neighbor repulsion $V$ in a two-band Hubbard model (CuO chain) is discussed. Quantum Monte Carlo simulations indicate that this transition is strongly discontinuous if the filling fraction $〈n〉$ is close to 1 (half-filled lower band). Spin-density-wave fluctuations then dominate before phase separation. Superconducting fluctuations dominate in the neighborhood of phase separation only at considerably higher doping levels, where the transition to the phase-separated state is much smoother.

Small-cluster calculations for the simple and extended Hubbard models

J. Callaway, D. P. Chen, D. G. Kanhere +1 more

The single-band Hubbard model (both with and without first-neighbor interactions) is studied by exact diagonalization on several one- and two-dimensional clusters, ranging from four to nine sites, including rings and arrangements of squares. Occupancies include the half-filled band (one electron per site) and configurations with one and two holes in the half-filled band. Ground-state properties are determined for a wide range of parameters. We discuss the phase diagram in the (U,V) plane and consider spin, charge, and pairing correlations. The binding of a pair of holes is investigated. Circumstances in which binding and pairing are enhanced by first-neighbor interactions are described.

Some Exact Results for the Zero-Bandwidth Extended Hubbard Model with Intersite Charge and Magnetic Interactions

Konrad Jerzy Kapcia, Waldemar Kłobus, S. Robaszkiewicz

The extended Hubbard model in the zero-bandwidth limit is studied.The eective Hamiltonian consists of (i) on-site U interaction, (ii) intersite densitydensity interaction W , and (iii) Ising-like magnetic exchange interaction J between the nearest-neighbors.We present rigorous (and analytical) results obtained within the transfer-matrix method for 1D chain in two particular cases: (a) W = 0 and n = 1; (b) U → +∞ and n = 1/2 (W = 0, J = 0).We obtain the exact formulae for the partition functions which enables to calculate thermodynamic properties such as entropy, specic heat (c), and double occupancy per site.In both cases the system exhibits an interesting temperature dependence of c involving a characteristic two-peak structure.There are no phase transitions at nite temperatures and the only transitions occur in the ground state.

Superconductivity and spin gap in the high-doping regime of a CuO chain model

Anders W. Sandvik, Asle Sudbø

A two-band Hubbard model describing a CuO chain is studied using quantum Monte Carlo simulation. The Luttinger-liquid exponent K ρ is extracted as a function of the nearest-neighbor repulsion V , at hole fillings ⟨ n ⟩ between 1 (half-filled lower band) and 2. Evidence is presented for the existence of a regime with dominant singlet superconducting fluctuations and a gap in the spin excitation spectrum at ⟨ n ⟩ = 1.75, in the neighborhood of the V for which the system phase separates. Closer to half-filling (⟨ n ⟩≲1.6), spin-density-wave fluctuations always dominate.
