Superconducting ground state in a model with bond-charge interaction

Abstract

An electronic Hubbard-type model with bond-charge interaction and on-site repulsion U is studied in one and two dimensions. Evidence is provided in favor of superconductivity, without phase separation, for U${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{c}}$(n), although no explicit attraction between particles is present in the Hamiltonian. The presence of a bound state for two particles in vacuum in D=1 and 2 (but not for D=3) suggests that, at low density and low dimensionality, superconductivity is due to condensation of preexistent pairs (dimers). The one-dimensional (1D) phase diagram is studied analytically as well as numerically and shows a transiiton between a Luttinger liquid and a strong-coupling phase with diverging superconducting susceptibility. Estimates of critical exponents are given at low density and at quarter filling for several values of the parameters. The 2D model at quarter filling is analyzed by Lanczos diagonalization on a 4\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}4 cluster. The numerical results are consistent with the phase diagram obtained by BCS mean-field theory and is qualitatively similar to the 1D case: a ground state with spin gap and off-diagonal long-range order at U${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{c}}$(n); and a Fermi liquid above ${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{c}}$ with no sign of phase separation.

Possible exotic phases in the one-dimensional extended Hubbard model

Rudolf Torsten Clay, Anders W. Sandvik, David K Campbell

We investigate numerically the ground state phase diagram of the one-dimensional extended Hubbard model, including an on-site interaction U and a nearest-neighbor interaction V. We focus on the ground state phases of the model in the $V\ensuremath{\gg}U$ region, where previous studies have suggested the possibility of dominant superconducting pairing fluctuations before the system phase separates at a critical value ${V=V}_{\mathrm{PS}}.$ Using quantum Monte Carlo methods on lattices much larger than in previous Lancz\"os diagonalization studies, we determine the boundary of phase separation, the Luttinger-liquid correlation exponent ${K}_{\ensuremath{\rho}},$ and other correlation functions in this region. We find that phase separation occurs for V significantly smaller than previously reported. In addition, for negative U, we find that a uniform state reenters from phase separation as the electron density is increased towards half filling. For $V<{V}_{\mathrm{PS}},$ our results show that superconducting fluctuations are not dominant. The system behaves asymptotically as a Luttinger liquid with ${K}_{\ensuremath{\rho}}<1,$ but we also find strong low-energy (but gapped) charge-density fluctuations at a momentum not expected for a standard Luttinger liquid.

Ground-state phase diagram of the unconventional Hubbard chain with bond–charge interaction

Xin Sun, Liyue Wang, Hanqin Ding

Using the field-theory approach combining bosonization and renormalization group, we investigate the weak-coupling phase diagram of the unconventional Hubbard chain, where in addition to a bond–charge interaction ( X ), the Hubbard interaction differs between odd ( U o ) and even ( U e ) sites. The result shows that at quarter filling, the unequal Hubbard repulsion has a great influence on low-energy charge excitations. For the attractive X , the umklapp scattering always exists, and the ground state only exhibits a spin-gapless insulating phase with dominant spin-density-wave correlations. For the repulsive X , the umklapp processes only take place if both U o and U e are greater than 8 X cos ( π / 4 ) , and the phase diagram consists of three phases, a metallic phase with the spin-gapped singlet superconducting correlation, and two insulating phases characterized by the spin-density-wave and charge-density-wave correlations. We also present the phase diagram of the standard t - U - X chain in the case of non-half filling. • We study the 1D modified t-U-X model with unequal on-site interaction. • The different on-site repulsion induces relevant umklapp process at quarter filling. • The study supplements understanding of quantum properties of 1D correlated systems.

Phase diagram of the one-dimensional extended Hubbard model with attractive and/or repulsive interactions at quarter filling

Karlo Penc, Frédéric Mila

We study the phase diagram of the one-dimensional U-V model at quarter filling in the most general case where the on-site and first-neighbor interactions U and V can be both attractive and repulsive. The results have been obtained using exact diagonalization of small clusters and variational techniques, as well as exact results in various limits. We have analyzed four properties of the ground state: (i) whether it is insulating or metallic; (ii) whether it is homogeneous or phase separated; (iii) whether it has a spin gap; (iv) whether it has dominant superconducting fluctuations. With eight phases, the resulting phase diagram is unexpectedly rich. The four phases not found in the weak coupling limit are: (i) an insulating phase when U and V are large enough; (ii) a region of phase separation when V is attractive; (iii) another region of phase separation when V is large enough and U small; (iv) a region with dominant superconducting fluctuations when V is intermediate and U small. The actual nature of this last plase, which has pairs but no spin gap, is not fully clear yet.

Electronic Structure of One-Dimensional Extended Hubbard Model

Kazuhiro Sano, Yoshiaki Ōno

We investigated the one-dimensional extended Hubbard model with the on-site interaction U and the nearest-neighbor interaction V by using the numerical diagonalization method. Assuming the Luttinger liquid relations, we obtained the phase diagram of the ground state on the U - V plane. In the weak coupling region, the phase diagram agrees with the result of g -ology. On the other hand, in the strong coupling region for V ≫∣ t ∣, a novel superconducting phase appears both for positive and negative U . We also investigated the charge gap and the spin gap. The results suggest that the superconducting phase extends over the Tomonaga-Luttinger region (without spin gap) and the Luther-Emery region (with spin gap).

Ground-state phase diagram of the one-dimensional t - J model

Alexander Moreno, Alejandro Muramatsu, Salvatore R. Manmana

We examine the ground-state phase diagram of the $t$-$J$ model in one dimension by means of the density matrix renormalization group. This model is characterized by a rich phase diagram as a function of the exchange interaction $J$ and the density $n$, displaying Luttinger-liquid (LL) behavior both of repulsive and attractive (i.e., superconducting) natures, a spin-gap phase, and phase separation. The phase boundaries separating the repulsive from the attractive LL phase as $J$ is increased, and also the boundaries of the spin-gap region at low densities, and phase separation at even larger $J$, are determined on the basis of correlation functions and energy gaps. In particular, we shed light on a contradiction between variational and renormalization-group (RG) results about the extent of the spin-gap phase, which results larger than the variational but smaller than the RG one. Furthermore, we show that the spin gap can reach a sizable value ($~0.1t$) at low enough filling, such that preformed pairs should be observable at temperatures below these energy scales. No evidence for a phase with clustering of more than two particles is found on approaching phase separation.

Phase diagrams of the electronic state of the one-dimensionald-pmodel

Kazuhiro Sano, Yoshiaki Ōno

We investigate the one-dimensional (1D) d-p model, simulating a Cu-O linear chain with strong Coulomb repulsion, by using the numerical diagonalization method. Using the Luttinger liquid theory, we obtained phase diagrams of the ground state on ${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{d}}$-${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{p}\mathit{d}}$ plane, where ${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{d}}$ and ${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{p}\mathit{d}}$ represent on-site interaction at d sites and the nearest-neighbor interaction between p and d sites, respectively. In the weak-coupling region, they agree with the g-ology; a superconducting phase [SC(I)] is restricted to attractive interaction ${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{p}\mathit{d}}$0. On the other hand, in the strong-coupling region, we found a superconducting phase [SC(II)] for repulsive interaction ${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{p}\mathit{d}}$>\ensuremath{\Vert}${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{d}}$\ensuremath{\Vert} and an insulating state with a charge gap for ${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{d}}$>${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{d}}^{\mathit{c}}$ and ${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{p}\mathit{d}}$>${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{p}\mathit{d}}^{\mathit{c}}$ with critical values ${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{d}}^{\mathit{c}}$ and ${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{p}\mathit{d}}^{\mathit{c}}$ at half-filling. Away from half-filling, another superconducting phase [SC(III)] appears for ${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{d}}$\ensuremath{\gg}${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{p}\mathit{d}}$>0; which has been found for ${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{d}}$\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty} in the previous paper [Physica C 205, 170 (1993)]. An analysis of the spin gap suggests that the SC(I) and SC(II) include the Luther-Emery region (with spin gap) in part, while the SC(III) belongs to the Tomonaga-Luttinger region (without spin gap) in whole.

We investigate numerically the ground state phase diagram of the one-dimensional extended Hubbard model, including an on-site interaction U and a nearest-neighbor interaction V. We focus on the ground state phases of the model in the $V\ensuremath{\gg}U$ region, where previous studies have suggested the possibility of dominant superconducting pairing fluctuations before the system phase separates at a critical value V=VPS.{V=V}_{\mathrm{PS}}.V=VPS​. Using quantum Monte Carlo methods on lattices much larger than in previous Lancz\"os diagonalization studies, we determine the boundary of phase separation, the Luttinger-liquid correlation exponent ${K}_{\ensuremath{\rho}},$ and other correlation functions in this region. We find that phase separation occurs for V significantly smaller than previously reported. In addition, for negative U, we find that a uniform state reenters from phase separation as the electron density is increased towards half filling. For V<VPS,V<{V}_{\mathrm{PS}},V<VPS​, our results show that superconducting fluctuations are not dominant. The system behaves asymptotically as a Luttinger liquid with ${K}_{\ensuremath{\rho}}<1,$ but we also find strong low-energy (but gapped) charge-density fluctuations at a momentum not expected for a standard Luttinger liquid.
