Domain walls, spiral states, and phase separation in the extended Hubbard model: A Hartree-Fock analysis

Abstract

We study, within the Hartree-Fock approximation, the relative stability of different classes of states for the single-band Hubbard model on a square lattice in the presence of a nearest-neighbor Coulomb repulsion V and away from half-filling. We consider (i) homogeneous metallic states (including spiral phases), (ii) states that exhibit phase separation into hole-rich and antiferromagnetic regions, and (iii) insulating (longitudinally polarized) spin-density-wave states with domain walls that trap holes. For V=0, the spiral states have the lowest energy for hole concentration \ensuremath{\delta}>${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\delta}}}_{\mathit{s}}$. At ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\delta}}}_{\mathit{s}}$\ensuremath{\sim}0.25--0.3, there is a transition to domain walls for small to intermediate U/t. At larger U/t the transition is to a phase-separated state, with ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\delta}}}_{\mathit{s}}$ decreasing slowly with increasing U/t. We find that even a small V destabilizes the domain walls relative to the spiral states; e.g., for V/t\ensuremath{\sim}0.2, the domain-wall states are unstable for all U/t and all \ensuremath{\delta}\ensuremath{\ge}0.05. The effect of V on the phase-separated state is much less drastic; its region of stability relative to the spiral states also shrinks to smaller \ensuremath{\delta}, but rather slowly. The last results are in agreement with the findings from a Schwinger-boson treatment of the t-J model.

Phase diagram of the half-filled extended Hubbard model in two dimensions

Biplab Chattopadhyay, D. M. Gaitonde

We consider an extended Hubbard model of interacting fermions on a lattice. The fermion kinetic energy corresponds to a tight-binding Hamiltonian with nearest-neighbor (-t) and next-nearest-neighbor (${\mathrm{t}}^{|\mathrm{I}\mathrm{H}}$) hopping matrix elements. In addition to the on-site Hubbard interaction (U) we also consider a nearest-neighbor repulsion (V). We obtain the zero-temperature phase diagram of our model within the Hartree-Fock approximation. We consider ground states having charge- and spin-density-wave ordering as well as states with orbital antiferromagnetism or spin nematic order. The latter two states correspond to particle-hole binding with ${\mathrm{d}}_{{\mathrm{x}}^{2}\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}{\mathrm{y}}^{2}}$ symmetry in the charge and spin channels, respectively. For ${\mathrm{t}}^{|\mathrm{I}\mathrm{H}}$=0, only the charge-density-wave and spin-density-wave states are energetically stable. For nonzero ${\mathrm{t}}^{|\mathrm{I}\mathrm{H}}$, we find that orbital antiferromagnetism (or spin nematic) order is stable over a finite portion of the phase diagram at weak coupling. This region of stability is seen to grow with increasing values of ${\mathrm{t}}^{|\mathrm{I}\mathrm{H}}$.

Phase separation in the one-dimensional Hubbard model

John H. Samson

The Hartree-Fock ground-state phase diagram of the one-dimensional Hubbard model is calculated in the $μ-U$ plane, restricted to phases with no charge density modulation, extending the results presented in cond-mat/9511116. This allows antiferromagnetism, saturated ferromagnetism, spiral spin density waves and a collinear structure with unit cell $\uparrow \uparrow \downarrow \downarrow$. The spiral phase is unstable against phase separation near quarter-, half- and three-quarter-filling. For large $U$ this occurs at hole (or electron) doping of $(3t/π^{2}U)^{1/3}$ from half filling.

Spin density wave selection in the one-dimensional Hubbard model

Samson, J.H.

The Hartree-Fock ground state phase diagram of the one-dimensional Hubbard model is calculated, constrained to uniform phases, which have no charge density modulation. The allowed solutions are saturated ferromagnetism (FM), a spiral spin density wave (SSDW) and a double spin density wave} (DSDW). The DSDW phase comprises two canted interpenetrating antiferromagnetic sublattices. FM occurs for small filling, SSDW in most of the remainder of the phase diagram, and DSDW in a narrow tongue near quarter (and three-quarter) filling. Itinerant electrons lift the degeneracy with respect to canting angle in the DSDW. The Hartree-Fock states are metallic except at multiples of a quarter filling. Near half filling the uniform SSDW phase is unstable against phase separation into a half-filled antiferromagnetic phase and a hole-rich SSDW phase. The dependence of the ground state wave number on chemical potential is conjectured to be a staircase. Comparison is made with higher dimensional Hubbard models and the $J_{1}-J_{2}$ Heisenberg model.

Charged domain walls in the two-dimensional Hubbard model

J. Yang, W. P. Su

In this paper we numerically study the single-band Hubbard model on a two-dimensional square lattice using a mean-field iteration approach. We calculate the energies and configurations of finite-size systems for various doping densities up to 20%. The results show that there exists an attractive interaction among the holes, which forces the holes to form domain walls. The most stable configuration of domain-wall structure is determined, and its stability against transverse spin fluctuations is studied. When the nearest-neighbor repulsion V is considered, the system becomes richer in phases. The binding energy is reduced and vanishes completely at ${\mathit{V}}_{\mathit{c}}$=0.17t (for U/t=5, with t and U being the hopping integral and the on-site Hubbard repulsion, respectively). For small value (but larger than ${\mathit{V}}_{\mathit{c}}$) of V, we find that the holes form well-defined spin bags, which are separated from each other for a very small doping density. For a doping density larger than a critical value, they form domain walls. The physical implications of these results and their relation to experiment are discussed.

Spiral states in the square-lattice Hubbard model

Sanjoy Kumar Sarker, Ciriyam Jayaprakash, H. R. Krishnamurthy +1 more

We present a variety of physical implications of a mean-field theory for spiral spin-density-wave states in the square-lattice Hubbard model for small deviations from half filling. The phase diagram with the paramagnetic metal, two spiral (semimetallic) states, and ferromagnet is calculated. The momentum distribution function and the (quasiparticle) density of states are discussed. There is a significant broadening of the quasiparticle bands when the antiferromagnetic insulator is doped. The evolution of the Fermi surface and the variation of the plasma frequency and a charge-stiffness constant with U/t and \ensuremath{\delta} are calculated. The connection to results based on the Schwinger-boson--slave-fermion formalism is made.
