Pairing correlations in a two-layer Hubbard model

Abstract

Superconducting properties of coupled Hubbard planes are studied by quantum Monte Carlo simulations. It is found that the interlayer coupling supports the pairing mechanism but it does not lead to off-diagonal long-range order in the purely electronic system. In addition, we have performed Monte Carlo studies based on a recently proposed variational wave function. Yielding identical results, the variational wave function overcomes the sign problem and allows us to analyze ground-state properties of strongly correlated many-body problems for system sizes and complexities not accessible otherwise.

Numerical simulation of the double layer Hubbard model

We have carried out Quantum Monte Carlo studies to investigate the double layer Hubbard model using the groundstate projector formalism. Evidence for off diagonal long range order in the nodeless d-wave pairing channel is provided. It is emphasized that the Projector Quantum Monte Carlo method has the potential to detect superconducting mechanisms in strongly correlated electron systems, which are not treatable by standard analytic methods. The Monte Carlo technique provides useful information about systems much larger than those accessible for exact diagonalization methods.

Superconductivity and Inhomogeneous Charge-Ordered State in the Two-Dimensional Hubbard Model —Off-Diagonal Wave Function Monte Carlo Studies of Hubbard Model IV—

Takashi Yanagisawa

We investigate the ground-state properties of the two-dimensional Hubbard model, based on the off-diagonal wave function variational Monte Carlo method. We use an optimized wave function that is improved from an initial one-body wave function by multiplying by multiple correlation operators that are given by the form of exp($-S$)-type where $S$ is a suitable operator. We examine the inhomogeneous ground state at near 1/8 doping in the strongly correlated region where the on-site Coulomb interaction is larger than the bandwidth. The $d$-wave superconductivity with a spatially oscillating gap function can coexist with the charge ordering in the ground state without magnetic ordering, and superconducting condensation energy increases by this coexistence. We also show the $d$-wave pair correlation function as a function of lattice sites. The correlation function indicates that the long-range superconducting order indeed exists, and also that the strong electron correlation suppresses the pair correlation function.

Correlation functions for the two-dimensional Hubbard model

A linked cluster expansion of the Gutzwiller variational wave function is used to study the one- and two-dimensional Hubbard model; in parallel the variational results are compared with quantum Monte Carlo simulations on finite-size lattices. Detailed results are presented for the magnetic and pairing correlations as a function of wave vector, electron density, and interaction strength U. There is no sign for superconducting long-range order although both the d-wave and the extended s-wave pairing fluctuations are substantially enhanced as U increases.

Detection of pairing correlation in the two-dimensional Hubbard model

Kazuhiko Kuroki, Hideo Aoki, Takashi Hotta +1 more

The quantum Monte Carlo method is used to reexamine superconductivity in the single-band Hubbard model in two dimensions. Instead of the conventional pairing, we consider a ``correlated pairing,'' 〈c-${\mathrm{tilde}}_{\mathrm{i}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\uparrow}}}$c-${\mathrm{tilde}}_{{\mathrm{i}}^{|\mathrm{I}\mathrm{H}}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\downarrow}}}$〉 with c-${\mathrm{tilde}}_{\mathrm{i}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\sigma}}}$\ensuremath{\equiv}${\mathrm{c}}_{\mathrm{i}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\sigma}}}$(1-${\mathrm{n}}_{\mathrm{i}\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\sigma}}}$), which is inferred from the t-J model, the strong-coupling limit of the Hubbard model. The pairing in the d-wave channel is found to possess both a divergence like 1/T in the pairing susceptibility and a growth of the ground-state pairing correlation with sample size, indicating an off-diagonal long-range order near (but not exactly at) half-filling.

Double layer Hubbard model : off-diagonal long range order in the nodeless d-wave channel

I. Morgenstern, Th. Hußlein, Johannes Maria Singer +1 more

We report on a numerical study of the double layer Hubbard model describing the CuO2 sheets in the high-Tc oxides. For the simulation we employed the projector quantum Monte Carlo method (PQMC) to study the ground state properties of this correlated electron system. Our results provide evidence for off-diagonal long range order in the nodeless d-wave channel. The implications with respect to possible mechanisms for high-Tc superconductivity in oxides in combination which phononic booster mechanisms are discussed.

Pairing Correlation of the Two-dimensional Hubbard Model

Hui-Chun Chien, Y. C. Chen, Chi-Tin Shih

The d-wave pair-pair correlation of the two-dimensional Hubbard model is investigated by the power-Lanczos method. A Jastrow-BCS type wave function is used in our variational study. By assuming a monotonic behavior of the long-range pairing correlation under Lanczos iteration, we found there is no long-range pairing order in the intermediate interaction region (U ≃ 10), which is consistent with the former result by the constrained-path Monte Carlo method. We also present numerical results obtained by the exact diagonalization of the 4×4 lattice in supporting our conclusion. PACS numbers: 74.20.-z, 71.18.+y I.
