Fragility of the Antiferromagnetic Long-Range-Order and Spin Correlation in the Two-Dimensionalt-JModel

Abstract
The two dimensional (2D) t - J model is studied in a Green's function decoupling scheme, which is an extension of the Kondo and Yamaji's theory (KY theory). The KY theory was originally proposed for spin systems, and is applicable to cases in which there is no symmetry breaking. We derive the lowest order corrections by the electron hopping energy t to self-consistent equations for the correlation function. Hole concentration dependences of the antiferromagnetic (AF) long-range-order (LRO) and spin correlation length at zero temperature are obtained. It is found that they decrease sensitively with doping holes even in a situation very favorable for the antiferromagnetism. The critical hole concentration at which AF LRO vanishes is estimated to be much smaller than in the three-dimensional case. A characteristic feature of 2D electron systems with strong correlations is discussed.
