Towards the Mott Transition in One Dimension

Abstract

The spectrum of charge excitations, Im N ( q , ω), has been evaluated near the Mott transition in the one-dimensional Hubbard model with a particular value of the Coulomb interaction. The present theory based on a continuum limit describes the smooth change between the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid state with a q -linear mode and the Mott insulator with a charge gap, by considering Umklapp scattering. The charge susceptibility is seen to diverge proportional to the inverse of the doping rate as the Mott insulator state is approached, in agreement with Bethe-ansatz result. It is shown that the q region where the renormalization group theory and conformal field theory are valid becomes vanishingly small as the transition is approached.

Charge Excitations in Doped Mott Insulator in One Dimension

Michiyasu Mori, Hidetoshi Fukuyama

The doped Mott insulator in one dimension has been studied based on the phase Hamiltonian with the Umklapp scattering process, in which the charge degree of freedom is described by the quantum sine-Gordon model. The well-known equivalence between the quantum sine-Gordon model and the massive Thirring model for the spinless fermion makes it clear that the Mott-Hubbard gap originates from the Umklapp scattering process as was indicated by Emery and Giamarchi. Compressibility, density-density correlation function, frequency dependence of optical conductivity and Drude weight have been calculated in the presence of the impurity scattering treated in the self-consistent Born approximation. It is seen that there exists a crossover behavior in the spectral weight of charge excitations: the acoustic mode is dominant in small wave number region while the optical excitations across the Mott-Hubbard gap lie in large wave number region and that this crossover wave number is reduced as the Mott transition is approached.

Charge excitations in the one-dimensional Hubbard model

N. Kawakami, A. Okiji

On the basis of the Bethe ansatz solution, the characteristic properties of charge excitations are investigated for the one-dimensional Hubbard model by inserting a charged hole into the Mott insulator. The density of states for the charged hole shows divergent behavior in the lower-energy region, whose connection is discussed analytically with the compressibility and magnitude of the Hubbard gap. Momentum-dependent susceptibility is also investigated within the framework of the quasiparticle formalism in the Bethe ansatz method. The logarithmic anomaly of the susceptibilty for the charged hole near 4${k}_{F}$ (${k}_{F}$ being the Fermi momentum in the noninteracting case) is considerably enhanced in the vicinity of the Mott insulating phase, while it is suppressed at the insulating phase due to the formation of the Hubbard gap.

Umklapp scattering in the one-dimensional Hubbard model

Tong Liu, Kang Wang, Runze Chi +3 more

The one-dimensional Mott metal-insulator transition is a typical strong correlation effect triggered by the Umklapp scattering. However, in a physical system, the Umklapp scattering coexists with the normal scattering, including both forward and backward scattering, which conserves the total momentum of scattered electrons. Therefore, it is not easy to quantify the contribution of the Umklapp scattering in a Mott metal-insulator transition. To resolve this difficulty, we propose to explore these scattering processes separately. We study the contribution of each scattering process in the one-dimensional Hubbard model using the momentum-space density-matrix renormalization group (kDMRG) and bosonization methods. Our kDMRG calculation confirms that the Mott charge gap results from the Umklapp scattering, but the normal scattering processes strongly renormalize its value. Furthermore, we present a scaling analysis of the Mott charge gap in the bosonization theory and show that the interplay between the Umklapp and forward scattering dictates the charge dynamics in the half-filled Hubbard model.

The metal-insulator transition in one dimension

Heinz J. Schulz

The low--energy excited states of a system of interacting one--dimensional fermions in a conducting state are collective charge and spin density oscillations. The unusual physical properties of such a system (called ``Luttinger liquid'') are characterized by the velocities $u_ρ$ and $u_σ$ of the charge and spin excitations, as well as by a parameter $K_ρ$ that determines the power law behavior of correlation functions. Umklapp scattering occuring at half--filling or other commensurate bandfilling can lead to a transition into an insulating state, characterized in particular by a gap in the charge excitations (the Mott--Hubbard gap). The properties in the vicinity of the transition are shown to depend on both the way the transition is approached (constant bandfilling and varying interaction, or constant interaction and varying bandfilling) and on the ``order'' of the commensurability. In particular, even and odd fractional fillings show quite different behavior. This behavior is illustrated in detail using lattice models like the Hubbard model and its extensions.

Relationship between Single-Particle Excitation and Spin Excitation at the Mott Transition

Masanori Kohno

An intuitive interpretation of the relationship between the dispersion relation of the single-particle excitation in a metal and that of the spin excitation in a Mott insulator is presented, based on the results for the one- and two-dimensional Hubbard models obtained by using the Bethe ansatz, dynamical density-matrix renormalization group method, and cluster perturbation theory. The dispersion relation of the spin excitation in the Mott insulator is naturally constructed from that of the single-particle excitation in the zero-doping limit in both one- and two-dimensional Hubbard models, which allows us to interpret the doping-induced states as the states that lose charge character toward the Mott transition. The characteristic feature of the Mott transition is contrasted with the feature of a Fermi liquid and that of the transition between a band insulator and a metal.
