Ground-state energy and the fluctuation contribution to the free energy for the Hubbard model at half filling

Abstract

We have calculated the ground-state energy and the fluctuation contribution to the free-energy for the Hubbard model at half filling. We have used a gauge that leads to the Hartree-Fock solution in the saddle-point approximation. The mean-field ground-state energy calculated here agrees with the results obtained by Dagotto et al. [Phys. Rev. B 45, 10 741 (1992)] with use of the exact-diagonalization techniques on a 4\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}4 site cluster. In the large-U limit, the ground-state energy per site is obtained as ${\mathit{E}}_{\mathit{g}}$/N=-U/4-J+O(${\mathit{J}}^{2}$/U). The fluctuation contribution to the free-energy was found to have a stronger temperature and U dependence than the mean-field contribution, and to play a dominant role for strongly correlated systems.

Ground-state energy of the Hubbard model at half filling

G. Polatsek, K. W. Becker

A recently proposed projection operator technique based on the introduction of cumulants is used to investigate the ground-state energy of the Hubbard model at half filling on a square lattice in two dimensions, in the antiferromagnetic phase. Our results in the intermediate and large regime of the ratio U/t are below those of variational Monte Carlo calculations, which set an upper bound for the energy. By including the most dominant spin-fluctuation processes, the present calculation also obeys the correct infinite U/t limit, where the Hubbard model at half filling reduces to the Heisenberg antiferromagnet. The relation of our approach to recent coupled-cluster calculations for the Hubbard model is also discussed. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

Doping dependence of the internal energy, spin-density-wave order parameter, and the chemical potential for the Hubbard model

Hongguang Chi, A. D. S. Nagi

We have applied mean-field theory to calculate the spin-density-wave (SDW) order parameter \ensuremath{\Delta}, the chemical potential \ensuremath{\mu}, and the ground-state energy at various band fillings for the Hubbard model. We have found that at zero temperature and in the large-U limit, the SDW order parameter and the ground-state energy can be written as \ensuremath{\Delta}=U(1-x)/2-O(J) and ${\mathit{E}}_{\mathit{g}}$=-U(1-x${)}^{2}$/4-0(J). The chemical potential obtained here for x=0 and 1 agrees well with the result obtained by the exact-diagonalization calculation on a 4\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}4 sites cluster by Dagotto et al. [Phys. Rev. B 45, 10 741 (1992)]. In the SDW phase, the mean-field theory gives an upward shift in the chemical potential as one dopes away from half-filling, which is in contrast with the exact-diagonalization calculations. This result indicates that the Mott-Hubbard gap is depressed much more rapidly in the mean-field theory than the exact-diagonalization calculation. The doping dependence of ground-state energy calculated here is in good agreement with the above numerical calculation for doping up to 0.5. Here, U is the intrasite Coulomb repulsion, x is doping concentration, J=4${\mathit{t}}^{2}$/U is the superexchange interaction parameter, and t is the hopping integral for the nearest neighbors.

Theory of the extended Hubbard model at half filling

Xin-Zhong Yan

The square-lattice extended Hubbard model at half filling is studied by a perturbation scheme. By taking into account the ground state of the mean-field theory as a reference state, the scheme treats the collective fluctuations beyond the mean field as the predominant perturbation. The system at ground state can be a spin-density wave (SDW) or a charge-density wave (CDW) depending on the relative strengths of the on-site electron interaction and the nearest-neighbor interaction. The excitation modes above the ground state are analyzed through diagonalizing an effective Hamiltonian. The energy spectra and the wave functions are self-consistently given by the formalism. By comparing the ground-state energies, we investigate the SDW-CDW transition.

Ground-state phase diagram of an extended Hubbard chain with correlated hopping at half-filling

Liliana Arrachea, Eduardo R. Gagliano, Armando A. Aligia

We consider a generalized Hubbard model with on-site interaction U, nearest-neighbor repulsion V, and nearest-neighbor hopping for spin \ensuremath{\sigma}, which depends on the sum of particles ${\mathrm{m}}_{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\sigma}}\ensuremath{-}|\mathrm{A}\mathrm{m}}$ with opposite spin in the two sites involved. The hopping matrix elements are denoted by ${\mathrm{t}}_{\mathrm{AA}}$,${\mathrm{t}}_{\mathrm{AB}}$,${\mathrm{t}}_{\mathrm{BB}}$ for ${\mathrm{m}}_{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\sigma}}\ensuremath{-}|\mathrm{A}\mathrm{m}}$=0,1,2, respectively. For 0${\mathrm{t}}_{\mathrm{AB}}$${\mathrm{t}}_{\mathrm{AA}}$=${\mathrm{t}}_{\mathrm{BB}}$, we have determined the regions of parameters for which the ground-state (GS) of the one-dimensional system is a charge-density wave (CDW), a spin-density wave (SDW), or a metal (M), using Hartree-Fock, exact diagonalization of finite chains and quantum Monte Carlo. The results agree qualitatively with the exactly solvable limit of ${\mathrm{t}}_{\mathrm{AB}}$=0. For 0${\mathrm{t}}_{\mathrm{AB}}$${\mathrm{t}}_{\mathrm{AA}}$=${\mathrm{t}}_{\mathrm{BB}}$, the GS is a M for sufficiently low values of U and V. In contrast, when ${\mathrm{t}}_{\mathrm{AA}}$+${\mathrm{t}}_{\mathrm{BB}}$-${2\mathrm{t}}_{\mathrm{AB}}$=0, our results suggest that the GS is either a CDW or a SDW, with the boundary between them lying near the line U=2V.

Exploiting the links between ground-state correlations and independent-fermion entropy in the Hubbard model

T. S. Müller, W. Töws, G. M. Pastor

The ground-state properties of the half-filled Hubbard model are investigated in the framework of lattice density functional theory. The single-particle density matrix ${\ensuremath{\gamma}}_{ij\ensuremath{\sigma}}$ is regarded as the central variable of the many-body problem, where $i$ and $j$ refer to the lattice sites and $\ensuremath{\sigma}$ to the spin. The interaction-energy functional $W[{\ensuremath{\gamma}}_{ij\ensuremath{\sigma}}]$ is calculated exactly for representative finite periodic systems by performing exact Lanczos diagonalizations. The relationship between $W[{\ensuremath{\gamma}}_{ij\ensuremath{\sigma}}]$ and the entropy $S[{\ensuremath{\eta}}_{\mathbit{k}\ensuremath{\sigma}}]$ of independent fermions with natural-orbital occupations ${\ensuremath{\eta}}_{\mathbit{k}\ensuremath{\sigma}}$ is analyzed. A simple approximation to the interaction energy of the half-filled Hubbard model is proposed, which takes the form $W=W(S[{\ensuremath{\eta}}_{\mathbit{k}\ensuremath{\sigma}}])$. Using this functional we derive the ground-state energy, kinetic energy, average number of double occupations, charge distribution, magnetic susceptibility, and field-induced spin polarization in one-, two-, and three-dimensional periodic lattices. The limit of infinite dimensions is also explored. The accuracy of the method is assessed by comparison with available exact numerical or analytical results. Goals, limitations, and possible extensions of the domain of applicability of the functional are discussed.

A quantitative estimate of the role of quantum fluctuations is given at zero and finite temperatures within the one-loop approximation around the antiferromagnetic and dimer saddle points. Our results include the constraint of single occupancy of sites, also for thermodynamical quantities.
