Correlations in the one-dimensional Hubbard model

Abstract

Correlation effects in the one-dimensional Hubbard model are studied by application of the L-resolvent method. The calculations are well beyond one-particle mean field approximation. All correlations involving two neighboring sites are included exactly and higher order correlations are approximated. The effects of varying temperature, band filling, Coulomb repulsion and external magnetic field are investigated. Two-site correlations for non-half-filled band fillings are calculated for the first time. Some exact relations between correlation functions are derived by electron-hole symmetry. Results indicate that short-range spin correlations always favor antiferromagnetic order. Large Coulomb repulsion induces a gap in the excitation spectrum and a metal-insulator transition is predicted as the Coulomb repulsion parameter is changed.

Excitation spectrum of the one-dimensional Hubbard model

Cornelius F. Coll

We have extended calculations of the zero-temperature excitation spectrum of the one-dimensional Hubbard model to the case where the number of electrons is less than the number of sites in the chain. The results are computed as a function of the ratio $\frac{U}{t}$, where $U$ represents the on-site Coulomb repulsion and $t$ is the transfer integral, assumed to be nonzero only for nearest neighbors. Exact calculations are made for the energy and momentum of excitations having single-particle character. Unlike the situation for the half-filled band, we find no gap in the excitation spectrum. We have also considered excitations of the spin-wave type. These are shown to vary linearly with momentum for small momentum. The group velocity for small momentum is found to be inversely proportional to the magnetic susceptibility.

Magnetism in the two-dimensional Hubbard model (abstract)

J. E. Hirsch, Hsueh‐Ju Lin

The Hubbard model has been widely used to describe magnetism due to itinerant electrons. However, except for the one-dimensional case, no exact solution of the model exists. We have studied the two-dimensional Hubbard model on a square lattice using a Monte Carlo simulation technique. Simulations were performed on lattices of up to 8×8 in spatial size. We will discuss results for thermodynamic properties and correlation functions as a function of temperature and interaction strength. For the half-filled band case, our results indicate that the system exhibits long-range antiferromagnetic order in the ground state for any nonzero interaction, although substantially reduced from the classical Néel state due to both charge and spin fluctuations. For the non-half-filled band case, our results suggest that no long-range magnetic order exists. We also don’t find any indication of short-ranged ferromagnetic correlations in the parameter range studied. We have also studied the predictions of various approximate treatments for this model, particularly the static approximation and the coherent potential approximation (CPA). By comparison with the Monte Carlo results, we discuss the validity of these schemes. Finally, we discuss the effect of changing the band structure on the magnetic properties of the system.

Two-dimensional Hubbard model with nearest- and next-nearest-neighbor hopping

H. Q. Lin, J. E. Hirsch

We study the magnetic properties of the two-dimensional Hubbard model with nearest-neighbor (t) and next-nearest-neighbor (${t}_{2}$) hopping and on-site repulsion U. We first calculate the mean-field phase diagram as a function of band filling and U. Because of the Van Hove singularity in the density of states, we find a ferromagnetic phase extending to zero U for certain band filling. For the half-filled band case, antiferromagnetism sets in at a finite value of U if ${t}_{2}$\ensuremath{\ne}0. We study the behavior of spin-spin correlation functions for small lattices of up to N=64 atoms using Monte Carlo simulations, as well as exact diagonalization for N=4. Our results show enhanced ferromagnetic correlations in some regions, but apparently no ferromagnetic long-range order. In the half-filled case, our numerical results are consistent with a nonzero critical U. For a non-half-filled band our results suggest that there is no long-range order.

Correlation exponents and the metal-insulator transition in the one-dimensional Hubbard model

Heinz J. Schulz

The long-distance decay of correlation functions in the one-dimensional Hubbard model is determined for arbitrary band filling and correlation strength, using the exact solution of Lieb and Wu. In particular, for either infinitely strong on-site repulsion U, or in the close proximity of half filling for any U, spin-spin correlations decay like cos(2${\mathit{k}}_{\mathit{F}}$x)${\mathit{x}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}3/2}$ ${\mathrm{ln}}^{1/2}$(x). For infinite U the results are generalized to the case of nonzero nearest-neighbor interaction. The behavior of the frequency-dependent conductivity is also discussed, in particular in the proximity of the metal-insulator transitions occurring for half and quarter filling.

Structure-dependent metal–insulator transition in one-dimensional Hubbard superlattice

Liangliang Zhang, Jin Huang, Cheng-Bo Duan +1 more

We investigate the charge and spin gaps, and the spin structure in half-filled one-dimensional Hubbard superlattices with one repulsive site and L0 free sites per unit cell. For odd L0, it is correlated metal at the particle–hole symmetric point, and then turns into band insulator beyond this point. For even L0, the system has a Mott insulator phase around the particle–hole symmetric point and undergoes a metal–insulator transition with on-site repulsion U increasing. For large U, there exists a multiperiodic spin structure, which results from the ferromagnetic (antiferromagnetic) correlation between the nearest neighboring repulsive sites for odd (even) L0.

Two-dimensional Hubbard model: Numerical simulation study

J. E. Hirsch

We have studied the two-dimensional Hubbard model on a square lattice with nearest-neighbor hopping. We first discuss the properties of the model within the mean-field approximation: Because of the form of the band structure, some peculiar features are found. We then discuss the simulation algorithm used and compare simulation results with exact results for 6-site chains to test the reliability of the approach. We present results for thermodynamic properties and correlation functions for lattices up to 8\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}8 in spatial size. The system is found to be an antiferromagnetic insulator for all values of the coupling constant at zero temperature in the half-filled-band case, but the long-range order is much smaller than predicted by mean-field theory. We perform a finite-size-scaling analysis to determine the character of the transition at zero coupling. For non-half-filled-band cases, our results suggest that the system is always paramagnetic, in contradiction with Hartree-Fock predictions. The system does not show tendency to ferromagnetism nor triplet superconductivity in the parameter range studied. We also discuss some properties of the attractive Hubbard model in the half-filled-band case.
