ANISOTROPIC PSEUDOGAP IN THE HALF-FILLING TWO-DIMENSIONAL HUBBARD MODEL AT FINITE TEMPERATURE

Abstract

We have studied the pseudogap formation in the single-particle spectra of the half-filling two-dimensional Hubbard model. Using a Green's function with the one-loop self-energy correction of the spin and charge fluctuations, we have numerically calculated the self-energy, the spectral function, and the density of states in the weak-coupling regime at finite temperatures. Pseudogap formations have been observed in both the density of states and the spectral function at the Fermi level. The pseudogap in the spectral function is explained by the non-Fermi-liquid-like nature of the self-energy. The anomalous behavior in the self-energy is caused by both the strong antiferromagnetic spin fluctuation and the nesting condition on the non-interacting Fermi surface. In the present approximation, we find a logarithmic singularity in the integrand of the self-energy imaginary part. The pseudogap in the spectral function is highly momentum dependent on the Fermi surface. This anisotropy of the pseudogap is produced by the flatness of the band dispersion around the saddle point rather than the nesting condition on the Fermi level.

Anisotropic pseudogap in the half-filling 2-d Hubbard model at finite T

The pseudogap in the spectral function is highly momentum dependent on the Fermi surface. It opens initially in the $(\pm π,0)$, $(0,\pm π)$ regions as the normal state pseudogap observed in the high-$T_c$ superconductors and if the interaction is increased, it spreads to other Fermi surface sectors. The anisotropy of the pseudogap is produced by the low-energy enhancement of the spin excitation around ${\bf Q}=(π,π)$ and the flatness of the band dispersion around the saddle point.

Quasiparticle Anisotropy and Pseudogap Formation from the Weak-Coupling Renormalization Group Point of View

A. A. Katanin, A. P. Kampf

Using the one-loop functional renormalization group technique, we evaluate the self-energy in the weak-coupling regime of the 2D t-t(') Hubbard model. At van Hove (vH) band fillings and at low temperatures, the quasiparticle weight along the Fermi surface (FS) continuously vanishes on approaching the (pi,0) point where the quasiparticle concept is invalid. Away from vH band fillings the quasiparticle peak is formed inside an anisotropic pseudogap and the self-energy has the conventional Fermi-liquid characteristics near the Fermi level. The spectral weight of the quasiparticle features is reduced on parts of the FS between the near vicinity of hot spots and the FS points closest to (pi,0) and (0,pi).

PRECURSOR OF ANTIFERROMAGNETIC BANDS IN THE HALF-FILLED TWO-DIMENSIONAL HUBBARD MODEL

Bumsoo Kyung

We study the half-filled two-dimensional Hubbard model in the intermediate coupling regime. As temperature is decreased for a two-dimensional half-filled band, two-dimensional critical fluctuations give rise to a strong local maximum in | Im Σ(k F , ω)| at ω=0, leading to a split peak with a pseudogap inside in the spectral function and the density of states. The calculated energy dispersion is in good agreement with that of spin density wave approximation.

Nonlocal Excitation Spectra in Two-Dimensional Doped Hubbard Model

Yoshiro Kakehashi, Peter Fulde

Single-particle excitation spectra of the two-dimensional Hubbard model on the square lattice near half filling and at zero temperature are investigated on the basis of the self-consistent projection operator method. The method guarantees a high accuracy of the spectra with high energy and high momentum resolutions. It takes into account long-range intersite correlations as well as the strong on-site correlations. Effects of nonlocal excitations are clarified by comparing the results with those of the single-site approximation. The calculated spectra verify the quantum Monte-Carlo results for finite temperatures. The spectra at the Fermi level yield a hole-like Fermi surface in the underdoped region and an electron-like Fermi surface in the overdoped region. From a numerical analysis of the momentum dependent effective mass and self-energy, it is concluded that a marginal Fermi-liquid like state persists even at finite doping concentrations in the strongly correlated region because a van Hove singularity is pinned to the Fermi surface. It is also found that a kink structure appears in the quasiparticle energy band in the same region. The kink is shown to be caused by a mixing between the quasiparticle band and an excitation band with strong short-range antiferromagnetic correlations. These results suggest an explanation for some of the unusual properties of the normal state in high-$T_{\rm c}$ cuprates.

Pseudogap formation in the half-filled Hubbard model

Marco Vekić, Steven R. White

Using quantum Monte Carlo, we study the evolution of pseudogaps in the spectral weight function for a half-filled two-dimensional Hubbard model as a function of temperature and coupling constant. The formation of pseudogaps at finite temperature can be used to distinguish between three regimes: (1) a strong-coupling Mott-Hubbard regime, characterized by a pseudogap which persists even at high temperatures; (2) a weak-coupling spin-density-wave regime, characterized by the absence of a pseudogap at any finite temperature; and (3) an intermediate-coupling regime with mixed behavior, characterized by a pseudogap that appears at a finite temperature.

Auxiliary boson approach for electronic states in the two-dimensional Hubbard model

Taiichirou Saikawa, Álvaro Antônio Bandeira Ferraz, P. E. de Brito +1 more

Electronic states in the two-dimensional Hubbard model are studied in the doped paramagnetic states by use of the auxiliary boson approach. Four auxiliary bosons are introduced by means of the Hubbard-Stratonovich transformation within the functional integral treatment. These bosons correspond to one charge and three spin fluctuations. An effective model is formulated. Going beyond the boson fluctuations around the saddle point, the single-electron Green's function including one-loop self-energy effects of fermion-boson interaction is derived. The behavior of the fermion self-energy, spectral functions, and density of states are investigated for several values of the Coulomb interaction $U$ within the limit imposed by the Stoner criterion and also for small and moderate doping concentrations $\ensuremath{\delta}$. For small doping $(\ensuremath{\delta}=0.2)$, as $U$ approaches a value determined by the Stoner criterion, the spin-boson spectrum has a striking low-energy enhancement around $\mathbf{q}\ensuremath{\sim}2{\mathbf{k}}_{F}.$ This enhancement of the spin fluctuation causes a non-Fermi-liquid-like low-energy $\ensuremath{\omega}$ linear dependence in the imaginary part of the self-energy. Due to the self-energy effects, band splittings and a band narrowing are produced in the spectral functions. As a consequence of this, the density of states has pseudogap structures around the quasiparticle band with a narrow bandwidth on the Fermi energy. These features seem to be precursors of the metal-insulator (Mott-Hubbard) transition and they might be related to the spin-gap phenomena observed in high-${T}_{c}$ materials. Our results for the density of states, the spectral function, and the band dispersions show qualitative agreement with the data of finite-size cluster simulations.
