Resonating Hartree-Fock Theory of the One Dimensional Hubbard Model. II. Breather Fluctuations in the Strong Correlation Regime

Shoji Yamamoto, Hideo Fukutome

Published Sep 15, 1992• 9 citations

Abstract

The electronic structure of the strongly correlated one dimensional Hubbard model is calculated by the resonating Hartree-Fock (Res HF) method. In the strong correlation regime with the Coulomb repulsion U >∼6, SDW solitons localize almost on the central two sites and only one kind of neutral soliton pair has a much smaller energy than the other pairs. As quantum fluctuations in a periodic chain with 12 sites, we consider up to three diradical breathers consisting of the low energy neutral soliton pair. The Res HF ground state can explain 77.8% ( U =6) and 80.1% ( U =8) of the exact correlation energy. This is much better than the Gutzwiller method to use the SDW as the reference state that explains about 50% of the correlation energy. The breather fluctuations explain the rapid decreases in the short distance of the spin and staggered spin correlation functions. Other correlation functions and the excited states due to the quantum fluctuations are studied.

Resonating Hartree-Fock Theory of the One DimensionalHubbard Model. I.Quantum Fluctuations by SDW Solitons and Breathers

Shoji Yamamoto, Akira Takahashi, Hideo Fukutome

The electronic structure of the one dimensional Hubbard model is calculated by the resonating Hartree-Fock (HF) method. Solitons in the spin density wave (SDW) order parameter (OP) make translational bands with a lot of high harmonics. Their effective masses are about 0.1 of the electron mass, so that they are potentially good charge or spin carriers. We consider diradical and zwitterionic breathers, which consist of a neutral and charged soliton-antisoliton pair, respectively, making quantum translational and breathing motions, as local quantum fluctuations in the SDW in the half filled case. The stabilization of the ground state by the resonationg breathers amounts to 76.5% ( U =3) and 70.1% ( U =4) of the correlation energy. This is better than the result of the Gutzwiller method. The fluctuations by breathers explain the rapid decrease of the spin correlation function in short distances and give also low energy excited states with the symmetries and energetic ordering 3 B < 1 A < 1 B that are characteristic in polyenes.

Resonating Hartree-Fock Studies on Electronic Structures of Excited States in the One Dimensional Bond Alternated Hubbard Model

Norikazu Tomita, Atsushi Ikawa, Hideo Fukutome

Electronic structures of low lying excited states in the 1D bond alternated Hubbard model are investigated using the resonating Hartree-Fock method. In homopolar states with the wave vector k =0, main units of quantum fluctuations (QF's) are two kinds of SDW neutral solitons whose centers are on a long bond and a short bond, respectively, and magnon fragments. QF's in ionic states contain charged defects such as SDW charged solitons and polarons as well as homopolar ones. The charge, spin and singlet pair correlation functions of the excited states show different correlation structures due to different QF's. The QF's are not spatially scaled but quantum motions of defects give constant correlation energy per site. The lowest singlet and triplet collective excitations have dispersions with gaps. Their QF's are k -dependent and scaled density wave like oscillations. A part of the QF's looks like unscaled SDW defects.

Resonating Hartree-Fock Studies on Electron Correlation and Bond Alternation in the One Dimensional Half Filled Hubbard Model

Norikazu Tomita, Atsushi Ikawa, Hideo Fukutome

Effects of the on-site electron-electron Coulomb interaction U on bond alternation in the one dimensional half filled Hubbard model are studied by the resonating Hartree-Fock method. Two kinds of SDW neutral solitons S 0 A and S 0 B exist in a bond alternated lattice which are centered at a long bond and a short bond, respectively. S 0 A enhances but S 0 B suppresses the alternating bond order (ABO) due to bond alternation. Quantum fluctuations in the ground state involve more S 0 A 's than S 0 B 's because the former has lower energy than the latter with increasing bond alternation so that they enhance the ABO in the true ground state and consequently the bond alternation. The spin and singlet pair correlation functions show that electrons tend to make singlet pairs on nearest neighbor short bonds even from small U 's and small bond alternations.

Group-theoretical and resonating Hartree-Fock studies for spin fluctuations in two-dimensional Hubbard model on triangular lattice

Fumikazu Satoh, Masa-aki Ozaki, Takaaki Maruyama +1 more

Magnetic structures of the two-dimensional Hubbard model on a uniform triangular lattice are investigated from the viewpoint of quantum fluctuations. First, possible spin density wave (SDW) solutions in the unrestricted Hartree-Fock approximation are group theoretically classified for the ordering vectors of ${\mathbf{Q}}_{1}=({\mathbf{G}}_{a}+{\mathbf{G}}_{b})/4$, ${\mathbf{Q}}_{2}={C}_{3}^{+}{\mathbf{Q}}_{1}$, and ${\mathbf{Q}}_{3}={C}_{3}^{\ensuremath{-}}{\mathbf{Q}}_{1}$. Then, to include the electron correlation effects efficiently, we apply the resonating Hartree-Fock method. It is shown that the spin fluctuations in the metallic ground state at $U/t\ensuremath{\sim}4.5$ are reasonably described as hybridization of two different SDW states obtained by the group theoretical classification and their low-energy excited states. These fluctuations make the long-range magnetic order significantly reduced in the correlated ground state.

Theory of Resonating Quantum Fluctuations in a Fermion System: Resonating Hartree-Fock Approximation

Hideo Fukutome

We develop a new general theory for large quantum fluctuations in a Fermion many-body system that cannot be described by fluctuations around the Hartree-Fock ground state but arises from resonance of different correlation structures. We start with an exact coherent state representation of a Fermion system on a unitary group. We show that the Hamiltonian in the coherent state representation has a close connection with the Hartree-Fock energy functional. From this, we can derive a new approximation called the resonating Hartree-Fock approximation in which a state is approximated by a superposition of non-orthogonal Slater determinants with different correlation structures. We derive the variation equations to determine a resonating Hartree-Fock wavefunction. We show that the resonance between degenerate broken symmetry Slater determinants may partially recover the symmetry. We discuss how to choose trial Slater determinants in a resonating Hartree-Fock wavefunction. We suggest that resonance of Slater determinats representing localized defects, such as solitons, polarons and breathers, produced in the long range order of the HF ground state may be the most important content of large quantum fluctuations in condensed matter systems.
