Temperature-dependent single-particle properties of the two-dimensional Hubbard model

Abstract

The temperature-dependent self-energy of the hole-doped two-dimensional Hubbard model is calculated perturbatively up to second order and used to find the spectral function for all points in the Brillouin zone. Single-particle dispersion, density of states, and Fermi surface topology are thus obtained and the appearance of the strong-coupling features studied. The renormalized quantities are temperature dependent due to an interplay between the electron correlation and topology of free-electron bands close to the Fermi energy.

Spectral properties of the two-dimensional Hubbard model

V. Zlatić, K. D. Schotte, Gudrun Schliecker

The self-energy of the hole-doped two-dimensional (2D) Hubbard model is calculated to second order in the interaction U and the ensuing renormalization of the spectral properties and of the Fermi surface is discussed. In uncorrelated systems the square-shaped Fermi surface separates the Fermi surface closed around the \ensuremath{\Gamma} point (with more holes than particles) from the Fermi surface closed around the Z point (with more particles than holes). In a correlated system a topological change from a Fermi surface centered around the \ensuremath{\Gamma} point to a Fermi surface closed around a Z point is induced, either by increasing the interaction or by diminishing the concentration of holes. The shape of the renormalized spectral function ${\mathit{A}}_{\mathbf{p}}$(\ensuremath{\omega}) is momentum dependent. Using ${\mathit{A}}_{\mathbf{p}}$(\ensuremath{\omega}) we evaluate dispersion of single-particle excitations. At low energies the band of quasiparticles with reduced bandwidth is clearly seen. At high energies and far away from the Fermi surface the spectra acquire an additional peak that describes excitations in the Hubbard band. The dispersion in Hubbard bands is weaker along the \ensuremath{\Gamma}-Z, than \ensuremath{\Gamma}-X or X-Z direction. The density of states of a correlated system, as given by the perturbation theory, remains logarithmically singular but the singular weight is reduced with respect to the uncorrelated one. In addition, the correlations transfer the spectral weight out of the low-energy region, where only a narrow Kondo-like structure seems to remain. The spectral properties of the 2D Hubbard model obtained by the truncated perturbation expansion resemble in many ways the recent experimental data on metallic cuprates.

Perturbation expansion for the two-dimensional Hubbard model

V. Zlatić, Berislav Horvatić, Branimir Dolički +3 more

We develop an efficient method to calculate the third-order corrections to the self-energy of the hole-doped two-dimensional Hubbard model in space-time representation. Using the Dyson equation we evaluate the renormalized spectral function in various parts of the Brillouin zone and find significant modifications with respect to the second-order theory even for rather small values of the coupling constant U. The spectral function becomes unphysical for $U\ensuremath{\simeq}W,$ where W is the half-width of the conduction band. Close to the Fermi surface and for $U<W,$ the single-particle spectral weight is reduced in a finite energy interval around the Fermi energy. The increase of U opens a gap between the occupied and unoccupied parts of the spectral function.

Spectral properties of two-dimensional Hubbard model with anisotropic hopping

V. Zlatić, P. Entel, S Grabowski

The zero-temperature spectral properties and Fermi surface (FS) anomalies of hole-doped 2D Hubbard model with anisotropic nearest-neighbor hopping are evaluated using the perturbation theory. The nested sections of the FS, which are always present in the anisotropic model, are found to expand with the strength of Coulomb correlation U. The renormalized FS and the low-energy part of the density of states obtained for small anisotropy and large U are similar to those obtained for large anisotropy and small U. The effect of correlation at low doping can best be described as an enhancement of the hopping anisotropy. The anomalous spectral features are mainly due to the van Hove singularities, which give rise to the momentum dependence of the self-energy.

Nonlocal Excitation Spectra in Two-Dimensional Doped Hubbard Model

Yoshiro Kakehashi, Peter Fulde

Single-particle excitation spectra of the two-dimensional Hubbard model on the square lattice near half filling and at zero temperature are investigated on the basis of the self-consistent projection operator method. The method guarantees a high accuracy of the spectra with high energy and high momentum resolutions. It takes into account long-range intersite correlations as well as the strong on-site correlations. Effects of nonlocal excitations are clarified by comparing the results with those of the single-site approximation. The calculated spectra verify the quantum Monte-Carlo results for finite temperatures. The spectra at the Fermi level yield a hole-like Fermi surface in the underdoped region and an electron-like Fermi surface in the overdoped region. From a numerical analysis of the momentum dependent effective mass and self-energy, it is concluded that a marginal Fermi-liquid like state persists even at finite doping concentrations in the strongly correlated region because a van Hove singularity is pinned to the Fermi surface. It is also found that a kink structure appears in the quasiparticle energy band in the same region. The kink is shown to be caused by a mixing between the quasiparticle band and an excitation band with strong short-range antiferromagnetic correlations. These results suggest an explanation for some of the unusual properties of the normal state in high-$T_{\rm c}$ cuprates.

Perturbational treatment of correlation effects in the Hubbard model

G. Bulk, Rainer J. Jelitto

In the general frame of a modified many-body perturbation theory, the single-band Hubbard model is treated in the limit of weak electron-electron interaction. In this modification the decomposition of the Hamiltonian into an effective free system and an effective perturbation is rearranged iteratively in each order of the formalism, resulting in a successive reduction of the interaction part. In comparison with conventional perturbation techniques, this means an extended range of validity. Imposing thermodynamic self-consistency, we calculate the wave-vector-dependent electronic self-energy up to second order and analyze the influence of the Coulomb correlations. Several well-known physical properties of the Hubbard model are recovered in characteristic single-particle quantities. Therefore, the effect of the band occupation n and the electron-electron repulsion U on spectral densities, band structures, densities of states, magnetization, etc. is investigated in detail. Some of the most remarkable results are: first, a splitting of the free Bloch band into two quasiparticle subbands when the coupling strength reaches moderate values. These subbands are linked by a small damping-induced background in the density of states and are separated roughly by an energy of the order of U. In addition, the upper subband is shifted to higher energies in the spectrum proportionally to U while the lower one is nearly fixed. Second, we found a paramagnetic-ferromagnetic phase diagram that has a critical coupling strength ${U}_{c}$ and exhibits strong indications of a lower critical occupation number ${n}_{c}$. There is no spontaneous magnetization in the system for parameters smaller than these values. Compared with the Stoner model, one thus obtains striking improvements. In many cases our conclusions for the weak-coupling limit are qualitatively in good agreement with well-known results in the strong-correlation regime.

Analytic Properties of the Self-Energy of the Hubbard Model in One and Two Dimensions

V. Zlatić, Berislav Horvatić

A new method of calculating the properties of correlated electrons propagting on D -dimensional lattices with N D sites is used to study the analytic properties of the Hubbard model in one and two dimensions. The single-particle self-energy is evaluated in the weak-coupling limit around the Fermi energy, ω F , and momentum, p F , at T = 0. For D = 1, the imaginary part of the self-energy, around p F and ω F , behaves in the limit as Im Σ p F (ω F + ω) ~ |ω| for |ω| ~ 1/ N . For D = 2 at half-filling and along the (1,0) direction in the Brillouin zone, the dominate contribution to the self-energy around ω F is estimated as Im Σ p F (ω F + ω) ~ |ω| ln|ω|. For one and two dimensional lattices, the excitation spectra of the U = 0 and U → 0 models become qualitatively different as N → ∞ and can not be simply connected by the perturbation theory.
