Antiferromagnetic correlations in the two-dimensional Hubbard model

Abstract
We study the temperature and doping dependence of the two-dimensional (2D) Hubbard model in the intermediate coupling regime $(U=4).$ As temperature is decreased for a half-filled band, 2D critical spin fluctuations give rise to a strong local maximum in $|\mathrm{Im}\ensuremath{\Sigma}({k}_{F},\ensuremath{\omega})|$ at $\ensuremath{\omega}=0,$ leading to a split peak in the spectral function. These strong fluctuations dominating near half filling are completely destroyed by 12% doping concentration. Below this concentration the imaginary part of the self-energy vanishes nearly quadratically in frequency at the Fermi energy, a Fermi-liquid-like feature. With varying the temperature at this concentration, we present numerical evidence for the band Kondo effect in the doped 2D Hubbard model by showing at low temperatures a growing peak in the density of states, nearly quadratically vanishing (in frequency) scattering rates at the Fermi energy and a linearly vanishing (in temperature) effective magnetic moment.
