Abstract
We studied the ground state of the two-dimensional Hubbard model near half filling on the square lattice. Using Variational Monte Carlo method, we show that the diagonal stripe state of bond-centered type, in which the domain wall is located between two sites, becomes more stable than the vertical stripe state when the doping hole density x is as low as x ≃0.06. The inverse of stripe periodicity δ and the hole density x are observed to have the relationship δ∼ x (δ< x ) for the bond-centered diagonal stripe state (the vertical stripe state) in the light-doping region. These results are in good agreement with elastic neutron scattering experiments in La 2- x Sr x CuO 4 .
