Abstract

Our random one-body approximation is applied to the one-dimensional half-filled Hubbard model. New insight is gained regarding the nature of the elementary excitations of the system, especially around the little understood region in the vicinity of the metal-insulator transition. The obtained results are in impressive quantitative agreement with exact many-body results and accurate numerical data.

Physical properties of the half-filled Hubbard model in infinite dimensions

Antoine Georges, Werner Krauth

A detailed quantitative study of the physical properties of the infinite-dimensional Hubbard model at half filling is presented. The method makes use of an exact mapping onto a single-impurity model supplemented by a self-consistency condition. This coupled problem is solved numerically. Results for thermodynamic quantities (specific heat, entropy, . . .), one-particle spectral properties, and magnetic properties (response to a uniform magnetic field) are presented and discussed. The nature of the Mott-Hubbard metal-insulator transition found in this model is investigated. A numerical solution of the mean-field equations inside the antiferromagnetic phase is also reported.

Renormalization-group study of the Hubbard model

J. E. Hirsch

The ground state of the half-filled Hubbard model is studied using a real-space renormalization-group technique. We first study in detail the one-dimensional case. We find the ground state to be insulating for all finite coupling, in agreement with the exact solution. We compute the ground-state energy, localization length, energy gap, magnitude of the local moment, and spin-density autocorrelation function. For those quantities that are exactly known we find good agreement with the exact results. Using a simple extension of our one-dimensional calculation, we are able to study approximately two- and three-dimensional lattices. We find a Mott transition at finite interaction for these cases. The critical exponents for these transitions are found to satisfy an approximate interdimensional scaling law.

Random one-body approximation to the Hubbard model. I. Formalism

Eleftherios N. Economou, Carter T White, R. R. Demarco

An approximation scheme is presented for treating the Hubbard Hamiltonian through an effective selfconsistent random potential. The random variables determining the effective potential are statistically correlated to simulate many-body correlations. The formalism is developed in detail for the half-filled Hubbard model; it is shown that the proposed scheme reproduces exactly the metallic and atomic limits and interpolates between the two.

Electronic phase transitions in the half-filled ionic Hubbard model

L. Craco, P. Lombardo, R. Hayn +2 more

A detailed study of electronic phase transitions in the ionic Hubbard model at half filling is presented. Within the dynamical mean field approximation a series of transitions from the band insulator via a metallic state to a Mott--Hubbard insulating phase is found at intermediate values of the one-body potential $\ensuremath{\Delta}$ with increasing the Coulomb interaction $U$. We obtain a critical region in which the metallic phase disappears and a coexistence phase between the band and the Mott insulating state sets in. Our results are consistent with those obtained at low dimensions, thus they provide a concrete description for the charge degrees of freedom of the ionic Hubbard model.

The One-Dimensional Hubbard Model

Fabian H. L. Eßler, Holger Frahm, Frank Göhmann +2 more

The description of solids at a microscopic level is complex, involving the interaction of a huge number of its constituents, such as ions or electrons. It is impossible to solve the corresponding many-body problems analytically or numerically, although much insight can be gained from the analysis of simplified models. An important example is the Hubbard model, which describes interacting electrons in narrow energy bands, and which has been applied to problems as diverse as high-Tc superconductivity, band magnetism, and the metal-insulator transition. This 2005 book presents a coherent, self-contained account of the exact solution of the Hubbard model in one dimension. The early chapters will be accessible to beginning graduate students with a basic knowledge of quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics. The later chapters address more advanced topics, and are intended as a guide for researchers to some of the more topical results in the field of integrable models.

Real-space renormalisation-group study of the one-dimensional Hubbard model

Chandan Dasgupta, Pierre M. Pfeuty

The one-dimensional Hubbard model is studied using a real-space renormalisation-group block method previously applied to other quantum systems. The authors primarily consider the half-filled band for which the ground state is found to be insulating for all non-zero values of the Hubbard interaction, in agreement with the exact solution. When the method is applied to first order in perturbation, they find that the insulating gap for small U/t behaves like exp (-At 2 /U 2 ) where U is the Hubbard interaction and t is the nearest-neighbour transfer integral. When the method is extended to second order, the authors find that for small U/t the gap behaves like (U/t) alpha with alpha approximately=11.2. The exact asymptotic behaviour of the gap ( approximately (U/t) 1/2 exp(-At/U)) is not recovered, but a good semiquantative agreement with the exact solution is obtained for both the gap and the ground state energy. Extensions to non-half-filled bands and to higher dimensions are discussed. The validity of the renormalisation group method is also discussed.
