Two-site correlation in analysis of the Hubbard model

Abstract

Electronic states of a two-dimensional Hubbard model near half filling is investigated by use of the composite-operator method, which is improved by including two-site correlations in combined use with the resolvent method. The densities of states obtained for the upper and lower Hubbard bands have three-peek structures at half filling and give shapes above a certain temperature similar to the ones obtained in the numerical simulation by Dagotto, Ortolani, and Scalapino [Phys. Rev. B 46, 3183 (1992)], but show narrowing of the bands at low temperature due to the formation of spin-singlet states among the nearest-neighbor electrons. A doped case shows a coherent peak at the Fermi level and the feature of the density of states is very similar to the one from numerical simulation. The one-particle spectra in the (k,k) direction is also presented. The results show that, at half filling, the spectral weight is not evenly distributed between two bands; most of the weight of the lower Hubbard band appears between (0,0) and (\ensuremath{\pi}/2a,\ensuremath{\pi}/2a), while that of the upper Hubbard band lies in the region between (\ensuremath{\pi}/2a,\ensuremath{\pi}/2a) and (\ensuremath{\pi}/a,\ensuremath{\pi}/a), keeping roughly the original band distribution. With hole doping, a flat band develops at the Fermi level with a large Fermi surface and the lower Hubbard band extends through the whole Brillouin zone.

Superconductivity in the two-dimensional Hubbard model

J. Beenen, David M. Edwards

Quasiparticle bands of the two-dimensional Hubbard model are calculated using the Roth two-pole approximation to the one-particle Green's function. Excellent agreement is obtained with recent Monte Carlo calculations, including an anomalous volume of the Fermi surface near half-filling, which can possibly be explained in terms of a breakdown of Fermi liquid theory. The calculated bands are very flat around the (\ensuremath{\pi},0) points of the Brillouin zone in agreement with photoemission measurements of cuprate superconductors. With doping there is a shift in spectral weight from the upper band to the lower band. The Roth method is extended to deal with superconductivity within a four-pole approximation allowing electron-hole mixing. It is shown that triplet p-wave pairing never occurs. A self-consistent solution with singlet ${\mathit{d}}_{{\mathit{x}}^{2}\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}{\mathit{y}}^{2}}$-wave pairing is found and optimal doping occurs when the van Hove singularity, corresponding to the flat band part, lies at the Fermi level. Nearest-neighbor antiferromagnetic correlations play an important role in flattening the bands near the Fermi level and in favoring superconductivity. However, the mechanism for superconductivity is a local one, in contrast to spin-fluctuation exchange models. For reasonable values of the hopping parameter the transition temperature ${\mathit{T}}_{\mathit{c}}$ is in the range 10--100 K. The optimum doping ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\delta}}}_{\mathit{c}}$ lies between 0.14 and 0.25, depending on the ratio U/t. The gap equation has a BCS-like form and 2${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}}_{\mathrm{max}}$/${\mathit{kT}}_{\mathit{c}}$\ensuremath{\simeq}4.

High-order correlation effects in the two-dimensional Hubbard model

Satoru Odashima, Adolfo Avella, Ferdinando Mancini

The electronic states of the two-dimensional Hubbard model are investigated by means of a 4-pole approximation within the composite operator method. In addition to the conventional Hubbard operators, we consider other two operators which come from the hierarchy of the equations of motion and carry information regarding nearest-neighbor spin and charge configurations. By means of this operatorial basis, we can study the physics related to the energy scale of $J=4{t}^{2}∕U$ in addition to the one of $U$. Present results show relevant physical features, well beyond those previously obtained by means of a 2-pole approximation, such as a four-band structure with shadow bands and a quasiparticle peak at the Fermi level. The Fermi level stays pinned to the band flatness located at $(\ensuremath{\pi},0)$-point within a wide range of hole-doping $(0\ensuremath{\leqslant}\ensuremath{\delta}\ensuremath{\leqslant}0.15)$. A comprehensive analysis of double occupancy, internal energy, specific heat and entropy features have also been performed. All reported results are in excellent agreement with the data of numerical simulations.

The t − t ′− t ″− U Hubbard model and Fermi-level peak

A Sherman

Abstract Using the strong-coupling diagram technique, low-temperature spectral properties of the two-dimensional fermionic Hubbard model are considered for strong and moderate Hubbard repulsions U . The electron hopping to the nearest, second and third neighbors is taken into account with hopping constants t , t ′ = − 0.3 t and t ″ = 0.2 t , respectively. The nonzero values of t ′ and t ″ lead to strong asymmetry in magnetic properties with respect to the hole and electron doping—for U = 8 t strong antiferromagnetic correlations are retained up to the electron concentration n ¯ ≈ 1.25 , while they are destroyed completely at n ¯ ≈ 0.87 . When the temperature is decreased to T ≲ 0.1 t , in a wide range of electron concentrations there appear narrow and intensive peaks at the Fermi level (FL) in densities of states. For U ≲ 6 t the peaks are seen even at half-filling, while for larger U they arise as the FL leaves the Mott gap. The peaks are connected with a narrow band emerging at low temperatures. We identify states forming the band with spin-polaron excitations—bound states of correlated electrons and mobile spin excitations. Obtained low-temperature spectral functions are used for interpreting the peak-dip-hump structure observed in the photoemission of Nd 2− x Ce x CuO 4 . In the case of hole doping, the calculated Fermi contour contains arcs near nodal points with pseudogaps near antinodal points, while for electron doping the spectral intensity is suppressed at hot spots, in agreement with experimental observations in cuprate perovskites.

Numerical study of the two-dimensional Hubbard model for various band fillings

Adriana Moreo, Douglas J. Scalapino, Robert L. Sugar +2 more

Quantum Monte Carlo methods are used to study the physical properties of the two-dimensional Hubbard model for various band fillings. Results for the energy, magnetic moment, magnetic structure factor, and integrated optical spectral weight are presented. A comparison of the half-filled (〈n〉=1) and quarter-filled (〈n〉=0.5) bands is made using results for the momentum distribution 〈${n}_{k}$〉, the compressibility K, and the one-electron self-energy \ensuremath{\Sigma}(k,i${\ensuremath{\omega}}_{n}$), which shows that a gap exists in the one-electron excitations at half-filling but is absent for the one-quarter-filled case. At a filling of 〈n〉=0.87, the locus of k values for which 〈${n}_{k}$〉=0.5 is found to be close to the free Fermi surface for this filling.

Spectral Weight Function for the Half-Filled Hubbard Model: A Singular Value Decomposition Approach

C. E. Creffield, Elyakum G. Klepfish, Edward R. Pike +1 more

The singular value decomposition technique is used to reconstruct the electronic spectral weight function for a half-filled Hubbard model with on-site repulsion $U\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}4t$ from quantum Monte Carlo data. A two-band structure for the single-particle excitation spectrum is found to persist as the lattice size exceeds the spin-spin correlation length. The observed bands are flat in the vicinity of the $(0,\ensuremath{\pi}),(\ensuremath{\pi},0)$ points in the Brillouin zone, in accordance with experimental data for high-temperature superconducting compounds.

Nonlocal Excitation Spectra in Two-Dimensional Doped Hubbard Model

Yoshiro Kakehashi, Peter Fulde

Single-particle excitation spectra of the two-dimensional Hubbard model on the square lattice near half filling and at zero temperature are investigated on the basis of the self-consistent projection operator method. The method guarantees a high accuracy of the spectra with high energy and high momentum resolutions. It takes into account long-range intersite correlations as well as the strong on-site correlations. Effects of nonlocal excitations are clarified by comparing the results with those of the single-site approximation. The calculated spectra verify the quantum Monte-Carlo results for finite temperatures. The spectra at the Fermi level yield a hole-like Fermi surface in the underdoped region and an electron-like Fermi surface in the overdoped region. From a numerical analysis of the momentum dependent effective mass and self-energy, it is concluded that a marginal Fermi-liquid like state persists even at finite doping concentrations in the strongly correlated region because a van Hove singularity is pinned to the Fermi surface. It is also found that a kink structure appears in the quasiparticle energy band in the same region. The kink is shown to be caused by a mixing between the quasiparticle band and an excitation band with strong short-range antiferromagnetic correlations. These results suggest an explanation for some of the unusual properties of the normal state in high-$T_{\rm c}$ cuprates.
