Localization in the three-dimensional Hubbard model at finite temperature

Fa-jian Shi, Tsung-han Lin

Abstract

With the aid of functional-integral technique, we show that the strongly correlated electron system described by the Hubbard model at finite temperature is approximately equivalent to the dynamically disordered electron system. For larger Coulomb interaction U, we show that it has localized states in the middle region of the band. Thus, the system exhibits a continuous metal-insulator transition, in which the activation energy for conduction is continuous, caused purely by the electron-electron interaction near half filling.

Dynamic conductivity of strongly correlated electrons: The Hubbard model on a cubic lattice

L. Tan, J. Callaway

The frequency-dependent (optical) conductivity of the Hubbard model on a three-dimensional cubic lattice is studied through calculations on a small cluster. The interaction strength is varied between the weak- and strong-coupling limits. Results are reported for the half-filled band, and for small hole dopings away from half filling. The formation of a Hubbard gap is observed. Results are related to aspects of the current discussion of the metal-insulator transition in bulk systems.

Metal-insulator transition in the disordered Hubbard model of the Lieb lattice

Yueqi Li, Lingyu Tian, Tianxing Ma +1 more

Using the determinant quantum Monte Carlo method, we investigate the metal-insulator transition in the interacting disordered Hubbard model of a Lieb lattice in which the system characterizes the flat band centered at the Fermi level. By choosing suitable electron densities, we ensure the weak interaction sign problem to improve the reliability of our results. It is found that disorder and on-site Coulomb repulsive interaction produce interesting effects that induce the metal-insulator transition which is impossible in the half-filled case. The density of states at the Fermi energy is still finite in the thermodynamic limit, suggesting that the system is an Anderson insulator rather than a Mott insulator. Moreover, this doping system is paramagnetic, unlike the half-filled system which is ferrimagnetic.

Phase diagram of the half-filled Anderson-Hubbard model at finite temperature

Nguyen Thi Hai Yen, Hoàng Anh Tuấn

Abstract We study metal-insulator phase diagram in the half-filled disordered Hubbard model at finite temperature. We calculate the averaged local density of states at the Fermi level and the site occupation as a function of the on-site energy at finite temperature by using typical medium theory with an impurity solver of equation of motion method. Although the metallicity in the correlated metallic region changes with temperature change, the phase diagram is almost temperature independent. We find fairly good agreement between our site occupation and those obtained by the typical medium method with other impurity solver.

Mean-field hopping solution in the Anderson-Hubbard model

R. Allub

The tight-binding diagonally disordered Anderson model with on-site Coulomb interaction is solved in the mean-field hopping approach. Phase diagrams of the metal-insulator transition are obtained from the free energy for the half-filled band and the binary-alloy distribution. For attractive interaction (U<0), the Coulomb term gives additional localizing effect and for some values of the microscopic parameters the temperature induced two transitions (insulator to metal to insulator). For U>0 two different types of behavior are distinguished. For small disorder (W\ensuremath{\le}U/2), the metallic phase can be induced by disorder, while for large W, the disorder always destroys the phase of extended states.

Thermodynamics of the one-dimensional half-filled Hubbard model in the spin-disordered regime

Satoshi Ejima, Fabian H. L. Eßler, Florian Gebhard

We analyse the thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz equations of the one-dimensional half-filled Hubbard model in the ‘spin-disordered regime’, which is characterized by the temperature being much larger than the magnetic energy scale, but small compared to the Mott–Hubbard gap. In this regime the thermodynamics of the Hubbard model can be thought of in terms of gapped charged excitations with an effective dispersion and spin degrees of freedom that only contribute entropically. In particular, the internal energy and the effective dispersion become essentially independent of temperature. An interpretation of this regime in terms of a putative interacting-electron system at zero temperature leads to a metal–insulator transition at a finite interaction strength above which the gap opens linearly. We relate these observations to studies of the Mott–Hubbard transition in the limit of infinite dimensions.
