Static spin correlations in alternant quantum cell models

Abstract

Static-spin-correlation functions 4〈${s}_{\mathrm{pz}}$${s}_{\mathrm{qz}}$〉 are evaluated via diagrammatic valence-bond theory for exact states of finite Hubbard, Pariser-Parr-Pople (PPP), and related quantum cell models. Several properties of 〈${s}_{\mathrm{pz}}$${s}_{\mathrm{qz}}$〉 that are independent of intersite potentials ${V}_{\mathrm{pp}\mathcal{'}}$ in the Hartree-Fock (HF) approximation for half-filled alternant systems are shown to be sensitive to correlations in the ground state of N\ensuremath{\le}12 Hubbard and PPP chains. Accurate N\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty} extrapolations are found for near neighbors. The correct ground-state charge density 〈${n}_{p}$〉=1 is a property of half-filled alternant systems and thus not a test of HF or other one-electron approximations. Spin correlations in PPP models with standard molecular parameters and long-range Coulomb interactions are approximately given by on-site interactions of U\ensuremath{\simeq}2\ensuremath{\Vert}t\ensuremath{\Vert} in Hubbard models, although the general semiempirical PPP approach to conjugated molecules is preferable for wide-band systems.

Resonating Hartree-Fock Studies on Electron Correlation and Bond Alternation in the One Dimensional Half Filled Hubbard Model

Norikazu Tomita, Atsushi Ikawa, Hideo Fukutome

Effects of the on-site electron-electron Coulomb interaction U on bond alternation in the one dimensional half filled Hubbard model are studied by the resonating Hartree-Fock method. Two kinds of SDW neutral solitons S 0 A and S 0 B exist in a bond alternated lattice which are centered at a long bond and a short bond, respectively. S 0 A enhances but S 0 B suppresses the alternating bond order (ABO) due to bond alternation. Quantum fluctuations in the ground state involve more S 0 A 's than S 0 B 's because the former has lower energy than the latter with increasing bond alternation so that they enhance the ABO in the true ground state and consequently the bond alternation. The spin and singlet pair correlation functions show that electrons tend to make singlet pairs on nearest neighbor short bonds even from small U 's and small bond alternations.

Critiquing Variational Theories of the Anderson-Hubbard Model: Real-Space Self-Consistent Hartree-Fock Solutions

X. Chen, A. Farhoodfar, Thomas Edward McIntosh +2 more

Abstract. A simple and commonly employed approximate technique with which one can examine spatially disordered systems when strong electronic correlations are present is based on the use of real-space unrestricted self-consistent Hartree-Fock wave functions. In such an approach the disorder is treated exactly while the correlations are treated approximately. In this report we critique the success of this approximation by making comparisons between such solutions and the exact wave functions for the Anderson-Hubbard model. Due to the sizes of the complete Hilbert spaces for these problems, the comparisons are restricted to small one-dimensional chains, up to ten sites, and a 4x4 two-dimensional cluster, and at 1/2 filling these Hilbert spaces contain about 63,500 and 166 million states, respectively. We have completed these calculations both at and away from 1/2 filling. This approximation is based on a variational approach which minimizes the Hartree-Fock energy, and we have completed comparisons of the exact and Hartree-Fock energies. However, in order to assess the success of this approximation in reproducing ground-state correlations we have completed comparisons of the local charge and spin correlations, including the calculation of the overlap of the Hartree-Fock wave functions with those of the exact solutions. We find that this approximation reproduces the local charge densities to quite a high accuracy, but that the local spin correlations, as represented by 〈Si · Sj〉, are not as well represented. In addition to these comparisons, we discuss the properties of the spin degrees of freedom in the HF approximation, and where in the disorderinteraction phase diagram such physics may be important.

From one-electron to correlated wave functions in extended systems: A valence-bond investigation

Marie-Bernadette Lepetit, Brahim Oujia, Jean‐Paul Malrieu +1 more

One-electron wave functions of half-filled-band closed-shell systems have been decomposed into their orthogonal single-determinant valence-bond (VB) components (antisymmetrized products of orthogonal atomic orbitals). Despite the ordering effect of the Fermi hole among electrons of the same spin, favoring spin-density and charge-density waves, the relative independence between the \ensuremath{\alpha} and \ensuremath{\beta} parts of the wave function results in an overestimation of the weight of multiply ionic structures. Comparison is made with the internally correlated functions for different graphs and Hamiltonians (Hubbard, Pariser-Parr-Pople, and ab initio types). The scaling effect of the correlation does not appear as essentially dependent on the ionicity of the VB forms but exponentially linked to the mean energy of each VB component.

Heisenberg-model cluster expansion for half-filled Hubbard and PPP models

R. D. Poshusta, Thomas G. Schmalz, Douglas J. Klein

Pariser-Parr-Pople, Hubbard, and Heisenberg models for systems with one electron per site, such as the π-networks of neutral conjugated hydrocarbons, are considered. It is argued that for usual systems the Hubbard model describes reasonably only those states that are also capable of being so described by a Heisenberg model. Such Heisenberg models are given by a cluster expansion, surpassing in accuracy the results of correspondingly low-order degenerate perturbation expansions.

Correlation functions for interacting fermions in the Gutzwiller ansatz

Florian Gebhard, D. Vollhardt

We make use of a recently developed diagrammatic theory to calculate correlation functions for interacting fermions of Hubbard-type models in terms of the Gutzwiller wave function. Of the eleven nontrivial correlation functions involving the spin, density, empty and doubly occupied sites, and local Cooper pairs, four are shown to be independent. They are expressed as a power series in a suitably chosen correlation parameter, whose terms are represented diagrammatically. In one dimension these terms may be evaluated to arbitrary order by employing symmetry relations. This allows for an analytic, approximation-free calculation of the correlation functions for arbitrary momentum, particle density, and interaction strength. In the atomic limit the momentum-dependent spin-correlation function shows an antiferromagnetic divergence at half filling in all dimensions. In one dimension the behavior is in very good agreement with all exact analytic and numerical results for the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain. Hole-hole correlations also compare very well with exact results. However, correlations between holes and doubly occupied sites appear insufficient. Superconducting correlations involving on-site, singlet Cooper pairs are suppressed. The results allow for an analytic evaluation of the ground-state energy of a large class of extended Hubbard models in terms of the Gutzwiller wave function. Thus they provide exact upper bounds for their ground-state energies.
