Cluster perturbation theory in Hubbard model exactly taking into account the short-range magnetic order in 2 × 2 cluster

Abstract

The cluster perturbation theory is presented in the 2D Hubbard model constructed using X operators in the Hubbard-I approximation. The short-range magnetic order is taken into account by dividing the entire lattice into individual 2 × 2 clusters and solving the eigenvalue problem in an individual cluster using exact diagonalization taking into account all excited levels. The case of half-filling taking into account jumps between nearest neighbors is considered. As a result of numerical solution, a shadow zone is discovered in the quasiparticle spectrum. It is also found that a gap in the density of states in the quasiparticle spectrum at zero temperature exists for indefinitely small values of Coulomb repulsion parameter U and increases with this parameter. It is found that the presence of this gap in the spectrum is due to the formation of a short-range antiferromagnetic order. An analysis of the temperature evolution of the density of states shows that the metal-insulator transition occurs continuously. The existence of two characteristic energy scales at finite temperatures is demonstrated, the larger scale is associated with the formation of a pseudogap in the vicinity of the Fermi level, and the smaller scale is associated with the metal-insulator transition temperature. A peak in the density of states at the Fermi level, which is predicted in the dynamic mean field theory in the vicinity of the metal-insulator transition, is not observed.

Charge ordering in extended Hubbard models: Variational cluster approach

Markus Aichhorn, Hans Gerd Evertz, Wolfgang von der Linden +1 more

We present a generalization of the recently proposed variational cluster perturbation theory to extended Hubbard models at half-filling with repulsive nearest neighbor interaction. The method takes into account short-range correlations correctly by the exact diagonalization of clusters of finite size, whereas long-range order beyond the size of the clusters is treated on a mean-field level. For one dimension, we show that quantum Monte Carlo and density-matrix renormalization-group results can be reproduced with very good accuracy. Moreover we apply the method to the two-dimensional extended Hubbard model on a square lattice. In contrast to the one-dimensional case, a first order phase transition between spin density wave phase and charge density wave phase is found as function of the nearest-neighbor interaction at onsite interactions $U\ensuremath{\geqslant}3t$. The single-particle spectral function is calculated for both the one-dimensional and the two-dimensional system.

Two-dimensional extended Hubbard model at half-filling

A. Sherman

Abstract We consider the extended Hubbard model on a two-dimensional square lattice at half-filling. The model is investigated using the strong coupling diagram technique. We sum infinite series of ladder diagrams allowing for full-scale charge and spin fluctuations and the actual short-range antiferromagnetic order for nonzero temperatures. In agreement with earlier results, we find the first-order phase transition in the charge subsystem occurring at v = v c ≳ U/4 with v and U the intersite and on-site Coulomb repulsion constants. The transition reveals itself in an abrupt sign change of a sharp maximum in the zero-frequency charge susceptibility at the corner of the Brillouin. States arising at the transition have alternating deviations of electron occupations from the mean value on neighboring sites. Due to fluctuations, these alternating occupation deviations have short-range order. For the considered parameters, such behavior is found for U ≲ 5t with t the hopping constant. For the insulating case U ≳ 6t, in which the transition is not observed, we find a continuous growth of the Mott gap with v. The evolution of the electron density of states with increasing v is also considered.

Applicability and limitations of cluster perturbation theory for Hubbard models

Nicklas Enenkel, Markus Garst, Peter Schmitteckert

Abstract We present important use cases and limitations when considering results obtained from cluster perturbation theory (CPT). CPT combines the solutions of small individual clusters of an infinite lattice system with the Bloch theory of conventional band theory to provide an approximation for the Green’s function in the thermodynamic limit. To this end, we are investigating single-band and multi-band Hubbard models in 1D and 2D systems. A special interest is taken in the supposed pseudogap regime of the 2D square lattice at half-filling and intermediate interaction strength ( $$U \le 3t$$ U ≤ 3 t ) as well as the metal–insulator transition. We point out that the finite-size level spacing of the cluster limits the resolution of spectral features within CPT. This restricts the investigation of asymptotic properties of the metal–insulator transition, as it would require much larger cluster sizes that are beyond computational capabilities.

Slave spins away from half filling: Cluster mean-field theory of the Hubbard and extended Hubbard models

Syed R. Hassan, Luca de’ Medici

A slave-spin representation of fermion operators has recently been proposed for the half-filled single and multiband Hubbard model. We show that with the addition of a gauge variable, the formalism can be extended to finite doping. We solve the resulting spin problem using the cluster mean-field approximation. This approximation takes short-range correlations into account by exact diagonalization on the cluster, whereas long-range correlations beyond the size of clusters are treated at the mean-field level. In the limit where the cluster has only one site and the interaction strength $U$ is infinite, this approach reduces to the Gutzwiller approximation. There are some qualitative differences when the size of the cluster is finite. We first compute the critical $U$ for the Mott transition as a function of a frustrating nearest-neighbor interaction on lattices relevant for various correlated systems, namely, the cobaltates, the layered organic superconductors and the high-temperature superconductors. For the triangular lattice, we also study the extended Hubbard model with nearest-neighbor repulsion. In addition to a uniform metallic state, we find a $\sqrt{(3)}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}\sqrt{(3)}$ charge density wave in a broad doping regime, including commensurate ones. We find that in the large $U$ limit, intersite Coulomb repulsion $V$ strongly suppresses the single-particle weight of the metallic state.
