Strength of dx2−y2 pairing in the two-leg Hubbard ladder
N. Bulut, Sadamichi Maekawa
In the ground state of the doped two-leg Hubbard ladder there are power-law decaying ${d}_{{x}^{2}\ensuremath{-}{y}^{2}}$-type pairing correlations. It is important to know the strength and the temperature scale of these correlations. For this purpose, we have performed determinantal quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) calculations of the reducible particle-particle interaction in the Hubbard ladder. In this paper, we report on these calculations and show that, at sufficiently low temperatures, resonant particle-particle scattering takes place in the ${d}_{{x}^{2}\ensuremath{-}{y}^{2}}$ pairing channel for certain values of the model parameters. The QMC data presented here indicate that the ${d}_{{x}^{2}\ensuremath{-}{y}^{2}}$ pairing correlations are strong in the Hubbard ladder.
