Thermodynamic and transport properties of infinite U Hubbard model
Rishabh Kishore, A K Mishra
Abstract
The infinite U Hubbard model, which excludes double occupancy of electrons on a lattice site, can be considered as an exactly solvable non-interacting orthofermion model. We obtained several thermodynamic and transport properties like specific heat, entropy, magnetization, magnetic susceptibility and thermoelectric power for the non-interacting orthofermions. It is found that in one dimension our results coincides with that of known exact results. In case of thermoelectric power, we have also obtained the generalized Heikes formula in high temperature limits and Stafford results at low temperatures. Since the non-interacting orthofermion model is exactly solvable in any dimension, our results can be used as a guide to ascertain the accuracy of the approximations, used to solve the finite U Hubbard model, frequently employed for the study of the strongly correlated electron systems.
