Falicov-Kimball model and its relation to the Hubbard model: Studies on clusters

Abstract

Ground-state properties of the asymmetric Hubbard model are studied on one-dimensional clusters (rings) with N=6, 8, and 10 sites. The ground-state energy, correlation functions, and phase diagrams are determined for various sets of model parameters. Computations are performed both by exact diagonalization (for N=6) and by an approximate method by which correlation effects can be examined on larger clusters than exact diagonalization allows. In the limiting cases (one limit corresponds to the spinless Falicov-Kimball model and the other to the Hubbard model) our results agree quite well with those obtained analytically for infinite systems.

Ground states of the Falicov-Kimball model with correlated hopping

Jacek Wojtkiewicz, R. Lemański

Two-dimensional spinless Falicov-Kimball model (FKM) with correlated hopping is studied perturbatively in the limit of large on-site Coulomb interaction U. In the half filled case (i.e., ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{i}+{\ensuremath{\rho}}_{e}=1,$ where ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{i},{\ensuremath{\rho}}_{e}$ are densities of ions and electrons, respectively) the effective Hamiltonian in spin variables is derived up to terms proportional to ${U}^{\ensuremath{-}3}.$ Unlike the simplest FKM case, it contains odd parity terms (resulting from the correlated hopping) in addition to even parity ones. The ground-state phase diagram of the effective Hamiltonian is examined in the $(a/t,h)$ plane, where $a/t$ is a parameter characterizing strength of the correlated hopping and h is a difference of chemical potentials of two sorts of particles present in the system. It appears to be asymmetric with respect to the change $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{h}\ensuremath{-}h$ and an additional ordered phase is found for a certain interval of $a/t.$

Small-cluster calculations for the simple and extended Hubbard models

J. Callaway, D. P. Chen, D. G. Kanhere +1 more

The single-band Hubbard model (both with and without first-neighbor interactions) is studied by exact diagonalization on several one- and two-dimensional clusters, ranging from four to nine sites, including rings and arrangements of squares. Occupancies include the half-filled band (one electron per site) and configurations with one and two holes in the half-filled band. Ground-state properties are determined for a wide range of parameters. We discuss the phase diagram in the (U,V) plane and consider spin, charge, and pairing correlations. The binding of a pair of holes is investigated. Circumstances in which binding and pairing are enhanced by first-neighbor interactions are described.

GREEN'S FUNCTIONS OF INFINITE-U ASYMMETRIC HUBBARD MODEL: FALICOV-KIMBALL LIMIT

Stasyuk, O. B. Hera

The asymmetric Hubbard model is used in investigating the lattice gas of the moving particles of two types.The model is considered within the dynamical mean-field method.The effective single-site problem is formulated in terms of the auxiliary Fermi-field.To solve the problem an approximate analytical method based on the irreducible Green's function technique is used.This approach is tested on the Falicov-Kimball limit (when the mobility of ions of either type is infinitesimally small) of the infinite-U case of the model considered.The dependence of chemical potentials on concentration is calculated using the one-particle Green's functions, and different approximations are compared with the exact results obtained thermodynamically.The densities of states of localized particles are obtained for different temperatures and particle concentrations.The phase transitions are investigated for the case of the Falicov-Kimball limit in different thermodynamic regimes.

Thermodynamics of the one-dimensional half-filled-band Falicov-Kimball model

Cláudio Andrade Macedo, L. G. Azevedo, André M. C. Souza

In order to contribute to understand well the finite-temperature properties of the Falicov-Kimball model, we study the temperature dependence of the specific heat, internal energy, entropy, and mean square fluctuation of the difference between the ion and electron numbers, and of the correlation functions of the one-dimensional half-filled-band Falicov-Kimball model. For this purpose we used the method of small-cluster exact-diagonalization calculations with the application of the grand canonical ensemble and of extrapolation techniques to the infinite chain. Our results show that the examined Falicov-Kimball model exhibits behavior of alternate electron-ion short-range ordering at low temperature, and gradual metal-insulator transition at high temperature, but, does not exhibit the crossing point of the specific heat curves, characteristic of the Hubbard model.

Ground states of the spinless Falicov-Kimball model in the strong-coupling limit

Pavol Farkašovský, Ivan Batko

The authors have studied energetic and structural ground-state properties of the one-dimensional Falicov-Kimball model in the strong-coupling limit. Using standard perturbation theory they recover some results already obtained (the phase segregation at large interactions) and present some new results concerning the ground state, e.,g., the analytic expression for the boundary, below which the segregated configuration cannot be the ground state, and the phase diagram of the model calculated for special periodic (aperiodic) configurations of ions and for the case when the ion concentration goes to zero.

Exact results for strongly correlated fermions: Hubbard and Falicov-Kimball models

Pedro S. Goldbaum

In this work, we study two models of strongly correlated fermions: Hubbard and FalicovKimball. We present a proof of the existence of real and ordered solutions to the nested Bethe Ansatz equations for the one dimensional Hubbard model on a finite lattice, with periodic boundary conditions. The existence of a continuous set of solutions extending from any U > 0 to U = ∞ is also shown, where U is the strength of the interaction between fermions at the same site. We use this continuity property, combined with the proof that the norm of the wavefunction obtained with the generalized Bethe Ansatz is not zero, to prove that the solution gives us the ground state of the finite system, as assumed by Lieb and Wu. For the absolute ground state at half-filling, we show that the solution converges to a distribution in the thermodynamic limit. This limit distribution satisfies the integral equations that led to the Lieb-Wu solution of the 1D Hubbard model. We also obtain a lower bound for the ground state energy of the Falicov-Kimball model. This bound is given by a bulk term, plus a term proportional to the boundary. A numerical value for the coefficient of the boundary term is determined. The explicit derivation is important in the proof of the conjecture of segregation of the two kinds of fermions in the Falicov-Kimball model, for sufficiently large interactions.
