Anomalous paramagnetic phase of the Hubbard model
Takuya Okabe
Abstract
A strong-coupling regime of the Hubbard model around half filling is investigated in the Hartree-Fock random-phase approximation. At half filling, besides a normal solution that gives rise to antiferromagnetic instability at ${T=T}_{\mathrm{N}}^{\mathrm{RPA}}\ensuremath{\sim}U,$ we find a solution representing the paramagnetic phase of the Mott insulator, for which we obtain the N\'eel temperature ${T}_{\mathrm{N}}\ensuremath{\sim}J$ in three-dimensional lattices. The solution is interpreted as the ferromagnetic band insulator depolarized by spin wave, the bound state of a particle-hole pair. Similarly, an anomalous metallic phase is derived from the Nagaoka ferromagnetic state. We evaluate ${T}_{\mathrm{N}}$ as a function of doping concentration x to find that it vanishes at $x\ensuremath{\simeq}0.05$ for $U/6t=4$ in a simple cubic lattice.
