Staggered-field-induced hole pairing in one-dimensional correlated systems

Abstract

We examine the influence of a staggered magnetic field on states involving a few holes in the one-dimensional t-J and Hubbard models. We apply exact diagonalizations of small systems, an analytical treatment of an anisotropic model, and a high-field perturbation expansion. Our results suggest that even modest staggered fields, h\ensuremath{\ll}t, induce the formation of bound hole pairs in a broad range of parameters, in particular for J/t1 in the t-J model and for U/t>1 in the Hubbard model. In the same regions, by studying the density-density correlations and the compressibility, we argue that many holes form a paired state and that phase separation does not occur.

One-dimensionalt-Jand Hubbard models in a staggered field

Peter Prelovšek, Igor Sega, J. Bonča +2 more

The influence of the staggered magnetic field h on properties of the one-dimensional t-J and Hubbard models with nearly half-filled bands are studied. Using the exact diagonalization method for small systems as well as analytical approaches possible in the anisotropic model and for h\ensuremath{\gg}t, we determine the phase diagram of the t-J-h model at low doping, which displays three different regimes: the phase with repelling holes for J${\mathit{J}}_{\mathit{c}}$, the phase with paired holes for ${\mathit{J}}_{\mathit{c}}$J${\mathit{J}}_{\mathit{s}}$, and the phase separation for J>${\mathit{J}}_{\mathit{s}}$. Employing for h\ensuremath{\ne}0 the analogy with the universal behavior of one-dimensional interacting fermions within the Luther-Emery regime, we calculate the charge exponent ${\mathit{K}}_{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\rho}}}$, which can be ${\mathit{K}}_{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\rho}}}$>1 in the pairing regime, indicating dominant superconducting fluctuations. An analogous analysis, in particular the perturbation expansion in t/h, performed for the Hubbard t-U-h model shows a phase of stable hole pairs for U${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{c}}$. Again ${\mathit{K}}_{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\rho}}}$ seems to approach a nonuniversal value at half-filling.

Hole pairs in the one-dimensional Hubbard model in a staggered field

Janez Jaklič, Peter Prelovšek

The one-dimensional Hubbard model in a staggered magnetic field h, introduced recently to simulate planar correlated electronic systems, is studied within the unrestricted Hartree-Fock approximation. The emphasis is on solutions for a few holes added to the reference antiferromagnet. Both analytical results, available at U,ht, and numerical results confirm the polaronic character of a single-hole state for all U,h, while bipolarons (bound pairs of holes) are stable for 0U${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{c}}$(h). Since under the same conditions we do not find any evidence for stable hole clusters and the phase separation, the latter regime remains a candidate for hole pairing.

Pairing and phase separation in a one-dimensional spin-bag liquid

P. Wróbel, R. Eder

We study the one-dimensional t-J model in a staggered magnetic field by a variational calculation based on the string picture. Our key assumption is the separation of energy scales between rapid incoherent hole motion on scale t and slow coherent motion on scale J. We discuss pair formation and phase separation in the hole liquid and find good agreement with exact diagonalization of small clusters. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

Generalized one-dimensionalt-Jmodels with longer-range spin exchange

J. Bonča, Peter Prelovšek

The behavior of holes in the one-dimensional (1D) t-J model differs substantially from the one in planar correlated systems. We show that within the 1D model one can recover some essential properties of 2D systems by including longer-range spin exchange. Be means of analytical calculations for the anisotropic exchange and the exact diagonalization of small systems, it is established that this generalization leads to the large mass enhancement for a single hole, to the hole binding at strongly reduced J/t, and to substantial changes in the phase diagram at electron densities n\ensuremath{\lesssim}1. It is shown that the longer spin exchange changes qualitatively the phase-separation line ${\mathit{J}}_{\mathit{c}}$(n), which obtains an n dependence analogous to the 2D systems, i.e., opposite to the one in the 1D t-J model. The correlation exponent ${\mathit{K}}_{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\rho}}}$ calculated in the Luttinger-liquid regime J${\mathit{J}}_{\mathit{c}}$(n) indicates also that the region of dominant pairing correlations can move even to J/t1.

Two-Dimensional t-J Model in a Staggered Field

Yasuhiro Saiga

The two‐dimensional t‐J model in a staggered field is studied by exact diagonalization up to 20 sites. For the low‐hole‐density region and a realistic value of J/t, it is found that the presence of a staggered field strengthens the attraction between two holes. With increasing field, the dx2−y2‐wave superconducting correlations are enhanced while the extended‐s‐wave ones hardly change. This implies that coexistence of the dx2−y2‐wave superconducting order and the commensurate antiferromagnetic order occurs in a staggered field.

Coexistence of dx2−y2 -wave superconductivity and antiferromagnetism induced by a staggered field

Yasuhiro Saiga, Masaki Oshikawa

The two-dimensional $t\ensuremath{-}J$ model in a staggered field is studied by exact diagonalization of small clusters. For the low-hole-density region and a realistic value of $J/t,$ it is found that the presence of a staggered field strengthens the attraction between two holes. With increasing field, the ${d}_{{x}^{2}\ensuremath{-}{y}^{2}}$-wave superconducting correlations are enhanced while the extended-s-wave ones hardly change. This implies that coexistence of the ${d}_{{x}^{2}\ensuremath{-}{y}^{2}}$-wave superconducting order and the commensurate antiferromagnetic order occurs in a staggered field.
