On the continuum 'spin-wave' spectrum of the one-dimensional Hubbard model

Abstract

The authors re-examine the triplet (S=1) 'spin-wave' excitations of the exactly solvable spin- 1 / 2 1D Hubbard chain. They indicate that a continuous spectrum exists for all couplings U. In the strong coupling U to infinity limit, the spin-wave continuum spectrum of the isotropic Heisenberg antiferromagnet is recovered, for the half-filled band. Results for the quarter-filled band are also obtained by numerical solution of a set of linear integral equations. In addition they compare the particle-hole spectrum obtained by Coll (1974) with the Stoner excitations for a spiral spin density wave Hartree-Fock theory and found good qualitative agreement.

Spin density wave selection in the one-dimensional Hubbard model

Samson, J.H.

The Hartree-Fock ground state phase diagram of the one-dimensional Hubbard model is calculated, constrained to uniform phases, which have no charge density modulation. The allowed solutions are saturated ferromagnetism (FM), a spiral spin density wave (SSDW) and a double spin density wave} (DSDW). The DSDW phase comprises two canted interpenetrating antiferromagnetic sublattices. FM occurs for small filling, SSDW in most of the remainder of the phase diagram, and DSDW in a narrow tongue near quarter (and three-quarter) filling. Itinerant electrons lift the degeneracy with respect to canting angle in the DSDW. The Hartree-Fock states are metallic except at multiples of a quarter filling. Near half filling the uniform SSDW phase is unstable against phase separation into a half-filled antiferromagnetic phase and a hole-rich SSDW phase. The dependence of the ground state wave number on chemical potential is conjectured to be a staircase. Comparison is made with higher dimensional Hubbard models and the $J_{1}-J_{2}$ Heisenberg model.

Phase separation in the one-dimensional Hubbard model

John H. Samson

The Hartree-Fock ground-state phase diagram of the one-dimensional Hubbard model is calculated in the $μ-U$ plane, restricted to phases with no charge density modulation, extending the results presented in cond-mat/9511116. This allows antiferromagnetism, saturated ferromagnetism, spiral spin density waves and a collinear structure with unit cell $\uparrow \uparrow \downarrow \downarrow$. The spiral phase is unstable against phase separation near quarter-, half- and three-quarter-filling. For large $U$ this occurs at hole (or electron) doping of $(3t/π^{2}U)^{1/3}$ from half filling.

Collective and single-particle excitations in a Hubbard antiferromagnet

Prasenjit Sen, Avinash Singh

The spectrum of spin-wave and single-particle excitations is studied in a half-filled-band Hubbard antiferromagnet for interaction strength values in the intermediate and weak-coupling regimes. The spin-wave-energy scale, which goes essentially as ${\mathit{t}}^{2}$/U in the strong- and intermediate-coupling regimes, exhibits a crossover and goes down with decreasing interaction strength in the weak-coupling regime. This crossover is found to occur at U/t=3.26, and it demarcates the Heisenberg behavior in the strong- and intermediate-coupling regimes from the spin-density-wave behavior in the weak-coupling regime. The spin-wave-energy scale gets compressed by the charge gap in the weak-coupling regime, and consequently the spin-wave branch, which approaches the single-particle excitation band quite closely, never actually merges into it.

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.

Excitation Spectrum of the Spin-1/2 Ferromagnetic-Antiferromagnetic Alternating Heisenberg Chain

Kazuo Hida

The natural explanation of the excitation spectrum of the spin-1 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain is given from the viewpoint of the spin-1/2 ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic alternating Heisenberg chain. The energy spectrum of the latter is calculated with fixed momentum k by numerical diagonalization of finite size systems. It consists of a branch of propagating triplet pair (triplet wave) and the continuum of multiple triplet waves for weak ferromagnetic coupling. As the ferromagnetic coupling increases, the triplet wave branch is absorbed in the continuum for small k, reproducing the characteristics of the spin-1 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain.
