Quantum Monte Carlo study of Spin, Charge, and Pairing correlations in the t−t′−U Hubbard model
Zhongbing Huang, Hua Lin, James E. Gubernatis
To clarify the effects of next-nearest-neighbor electron hopping ${t}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ on the spin, charge, and pairing correlations, we studied the two-dimensional $t\ensuremath{-}{t}^{\ensuremath{'}}\ensuremath{-}U$ Hubbard model using the constrained-path Monte Carlo technique. We found that a negative ${t}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ suppresses the spin fluctuations near the Brillouin zone point $M=(\ensuremath{\pi},\ensuremath{\pi})$ and the charge fluctuations near the point $X=(\ensuremath{\pi},0),$ while a positive ${t}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ has the opposite effect. For a negative ${t}^{\ensuremath{'}},$ we also found that the long-range vertex contributions to the pairing correlations are heavily suppressed, but the local contributions are enhanced. Over the entire hole doping range studied, the d-wave long-range vertex contributions to pairing dominated those of the extended s-wave vertex contributions. In general, we did not find any tendency for these correlations to grow with increasing system size. We also did a limited number of simulations with an attractive nearest neighbor density-density interaction added to the $t\ensuremath{-}{t}^{\ensuremath{'}}\ensuremath{-}U$ model. It enhanced the long-range vertex contributions to the pairing correlations only for weak values of U.
