Magnetism in the two-dimensional Hubbard model (abstract)

Abstract

The Hubbard model has been widely used to describe magnetism due to itinerant electrons. However, except for the one-dimensional case, no exact solution of the model exists. We have studied the two-dimensional Hubbard model on a square lattice using a Monte Carlo simulation technique. Simulations were performed on lattices of up to 8×8 in spatial size. We will discuss results for thermodynamic properties and correlation functions as a function of temperature and interaction strength. For the half-filled band case, our results indicate that the system exhibits long-range antiferromagnetic order in the ground state for any nonzero interaction, although substantially reduced from the classical Néel state due to both charge and spin fluctuations. For the non-half-filled band case, our results suggest that no long-range magnetic order exists. We also don’t find any indication of short-ranged ferromagnetic correlations in the parameter range studied. We have also studied the predictions of various approximate treatments for this model, particularly the static approximation and the coherent potential approximation (CPA). By comparison with the Monte Carlo results, we discuss the validity of these schemes. Finally, we discuss the effect of changing the band structure on the magnetic properties of the system.

Two-dimensional Hubbard model: Numerical simulation study

J. E. Hirsch

We have studied the two-dimensional Hubbard model on a square lattice with nearest-neighbor hopping. We first discuss the properties of the model within the mean-field approximation: Because of the form of the band structure, some peculiar features are found. We then discuss the simulation algorithm used and compare simulation results with exact results for 6-site chains to test the reliability of the approach. We present results for thermodynamic properties and correlation functions for lattices up to 8\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}8 in spatial size. The system is found to be an antiferromagnetic insulator for all values of the coupling constant at zero temperature in the half-filled-band case, but the long-range order is much smaller than predicted by mean-field theory. We perform a finite-size-scaling analysis to determine the character of the transition at zero coupling. For non-half-filled-band cases, our results suggest that the system is always paramagnetic, in contradiction with Hartree-Fock predictions. The system does not show tendency to ferromagnetism nor triplet superconductivity in the parameter range studied. We also discuss some properties of the attractive Hubbard model in the half-filled-band case.

Monte Carlo Study of the Two-Dimensional Hubbard Model

J. E. Hirsch

A two-dimensional model of interacting electrons on a lattice, the Hubbard model, has been studied by means of a numerical simulation technique. Results for the half-filled-band sector are presented for lattices of up to 6\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}6 spatial sites, as a function of temperature and electron-electron repulsion $U$. In the ground state, the system is found to exhibit antiferromagnetic long-range order for all values of $U$, although greatly reduced from the mean-field-theory predictions.

Two-dimensional Hubbard model with nearest- and next-nearest-neighbor hopping

H. Q. Lin, J. E. Hirsch

We study the magnetic properties of the two-dimensional Hubbard model with nearest-neighbor (t) and next-nearest-neighbor (${t}_{2}$) hopping and on-site repulsion U. We first calculate the mean-field phase diagram as a function of band filling and U. Because of the Van Hove singularity in the density of states, we find a ferromagnetic phase extending to zero U for certain band filling. For the half-filled band case, antiferromagnetism sets in at a finite value of U if ${t}_{2}$\ensuremath{\ne}0. We study the behavior of spin-spin correlation functions for small lattices of up to N=64 atoms using Monte Carlo simulations, as well as exact diagonalization for N=4. Our results show enhanced ferromagnetic correlations in some regions, but apparently no ferromagnetic long-range order. In the half-filled case, our numerical results are consistent with a nonzero critical U. For a non-half-filled band our results suggest that there is no long-range order.

MAGNETIC PROPERTIES OF HUBBARD MODEL CLASSIC.

Adelino dos Santos Filho

In this work we obtain the magnetic and thermodynamic properties of the classical Hubbard model. This one is easier to handle than the original Hubbard model, and it maintains fundamental aspects like charge and particle-hole symmetry. We find the relationship between this and the Ising model. For square and simple cubic lattices, the thermodynamic properties and phase diagrams were calculated by Monte Carlo method. We show the behavior of internal energy, specific heat, and magnetic susceptibility as a function of the temperature. For the considered lattices, the ground state is anti-ferromagnetic. The Néel temperatures were found as a function of the electronic interaction in the case of half-filled band. In the limit of vanishing of diverging interaction, our results agree with the Ising model.
