Abstract

We introduce a systematic approach to analyze the low-energy behavior of strongly correlated electron systems in infinite dimensions, and apply it to the metal-insulator transition in the half-filled Hubbard model. We determine the low-energy scaling functions of the metallic state, including the single-particle Green function and dynamical spin susceptibility, as well as thermodynamic properties. Comparisons are made with experimental data on transition metal oxides.

Critical Properties of the Mott Transition in the Hubbard Model

Goetz Moeller, Qimiao Si A, Gabriel Kotliar +1 more

We introduce a systematic low-energy approach to strongly correlated electron systems in infinite dimensions, and apply it to the problem of the correlation-induced metal-insulator transition in the half-filled Hubbard model. We determine the low-energy scaling functions of the metallic state, including the single-particle Green function and dynamical spin susceptibility, as well as thermodynamic properties and relate them to experimental data in transition metal oxides.

Generic susceptibilities of the half-filled Hubbard model in infinite dimensions

Carsten Raas, Götz Silvester Uhrig

Around a metal-to-insulator transition driven by repulsive interaction (Mott transition) the single-particle excitations and the collective excitations are equally important. Here we present results for the generic susceptibilities at zero temperature in the half-filled Hubbard model in infinite dimensions. Profiting from the high resolution of dynamic density-matrix renormalization at all energies, results for the charge, spin, and Cooper-pair susceptibilities in the metallic and the insulating phase are computed. In the insulating phase, an almost saturated local magnetic moment appears. In the metallic phase a pronounced low-energy peak is found in the spin response. It is the precursor of the magnetic moment in the insulator.

Quantum critical local spin dynamics near the Mott metal-insulator transition in infinite dimensions

Nagamalleswararao Dasari, N. S. Vidhyadhiraja, Mark Jarrell +1 more

Finding microscopic models for metallic states that exhibit quantum critical properties is a major theoretical challenge. We calculate the dynamical local spin susceptibility $\ensuremath{\chi}(T,\ensuremath{\omega})$ for a Hubbard model at half-filling using dynamical mean-field theory, which is exact in infinite dimensions. Qualitatively distinct behavior is found in the different regions of the phase diagram: Mott insulator, Fermi liquid metal, bad metal, and a quantum critical region above the finite-temperature critical point. The signature of the latter is $\ensuremath{\omega}/T$ scaling, where $\ensuremath{\omega}$ is the frequency and $T$ is the temperature. Our results are consistent with previous results showing scaling of the dc electrical conductivity, and they are relevant to experiments on organic charge-transfer salts.

Analytic treatment of Mott-Hubbard transition in the half-filled Hubbard model and its thermodynamics

Jongbae Hong, Hae‐Young Kee

The Mott-Hubbard transition in the half-filled Hubbard model is studied analytically on a Bethe lattice for the paramagnetic state and the classical N\'eel state. The single-particle density of states is obtained by calculating the one-particle Green's function represented by the Lanczos infinite continued fraction. The paramagnetic solution shows that the Mott-Hubbard transition is signaled by both collapsing Hubbard bands at ${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{c}}$=2${\mathit{t}}_{\mathrm{*}}$ and a sharp Lorentzian peak appearing at midgap at U${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{c}}$. For the N\'eel state, however, the system becomes an insulator for U>0. We also obtain the specific heat and entropy for both the metallic and insulating regimes. Our analytic work reproduces the key results obtained by numerical method in infinite dimensions.

Exact diagonalization approach to correlated fermions in infinite dimensions: Mott transition and superconductivity

Michel Caffarel, Werner Krauth

We present a powerful method for calculating the thermodynamic properties of infinite-dimensional Hubbard-type models using an exact diagonalization of an Anderson model with a finite number of sites. The resolution obtained for Green's functions is far superior to that of quantum Monte Carlo calculations. We apply the method to the half-filled Hubbard model for a discussion of the metal-insulator transition, and to the two-band Hubbard model where we find direct evidence for the existence of a superconducting instability at low temperatures.

Two-Dimensional Hubbard Model –Metal Insulator Transition Studied by Monte Carlo Calculation–

Nobuo Furukawa, Masatoshi Imada

The Hubbard model on a square lattice in the ground state is investigated. Various aspects of Mott transition at half-filling are clarified from the quantum Monte Carlo study. Critical exponents of the transition for charge and spin correlations are estimated. For the doping concentration δ, the charge susceptibility is proportional to δ -1 indicating the divergence of charge mass for δ→0, while the spin susceptibility is always finite and not singular near δ=0. Several theoretical consequences of the above results are discussed. Incommensurate peak amplitude of spin correlation scales as (δ-δ c ) -1 with δ c <0.01 in disagreement with RPA results ln (δ-δ c ). The antiferromagnetic order at the half-filling also shows strong correlation character and is not sensitive to the shape of the fermi surface, while the incommensurate peak observed away from the half-filling is sensitively suppressed by the loss of partial nesting consistently with the weak coupling picture. Comparisons with experimental indications of high- T c oxides are made.
