We studied the Kane-Mele-Hubbard model at half filling with Zeeman magnetic field using rotationally invariant slave boson method. The competition between external magnetic field and spin orbital coupling at large Hubbard U is explored. It is found that different canted antiferromagnetic phases exist in the presence of longitudinal and transverse magnetic fields. With longitudinal external magnetic field and strong electron correlation, the z component of the local moment is preferred by the finite spin-orbital coupling.
The
SU(N) Hubbard model is a natural extension of the
SU(2) model. However, even the
N=3 case remains poorly understood. We report a ground-state phase diagram of the square lattice
SU(3) Fermi-Hubbard model. Using a backflow Ansatz, we identify strong signatures of a Mott transition and a subsequent magnetic transition, and the suppression of a previously predicted magnetic phase. We study the hole-doped model, identifying a transition from magnetic to paramagnetic behavior in the strong-coupling regime. Our findings offer a different ground-state picture. More broadly, our work suggests a path to study general
SU(N) Hubbard models with arbitrary filling and geometry.
