NONLINEAR FIELD ANALYSIS OF THE HUBBARD MODEL IN ONE AND TWO DIMENSIONS IN THE CONTINUUM LIMIT

Abstract

We investigate the Hubbard Hamiltonian's properties in the continuum limit by implementing the procedures of the Method of Coherent Structures (MCS). We obtain field equations of motion and analyse the phase dynamics of the resultant classical spin fields. We have performed analytical and numerical calculations to find appropriate physically acceptable solutions to the equations of motion in one-dimensional space. In two-dimensional space, among other types, we have found several different spin phases of vortex type, spiral patterns and parabolic spin arrangements. Our results are consistent with earlier Hartree–Fock finite-grid numerical simulations.

Comprehensive mean-field analysis of magnetic and charge orders in the two-dimensional Hubbard model

Robin Scholle, Pietro M. Bonetti, Demetrio Vilardi +1 more

We present an unbiased mean-field analysis of magnetic and charge orders in the two-dimensional Hubbard model on a square lattice, at both zero and finite temperatures. Unrestricted Hartree-Fock calculations on large finite lattices are complemented by solutions restricted to N\'eel and circular spiral order in the thermodynamic limit. The magnetic states are classified by a systematic scheme based on the dominant Fourier components of the spin texture. On finite lattices a whole zoo of ordering patterns appears. We show that many of these states are finite-size artifacts related to the limited choice of ordering wave vectors on a finite lattice. In the thermodynamic limit only three classes of states with a relatively simple structure survive: N\'eel, circular spiral, and stripe states. Stripes involve also charge order and can be unidirectional or bidirectional, with horizontal and/or vertical orientation. We present complete phase diagrams in the plane spanned by electron density and temperature, for a moderate Hubbard interaction and various choices of the next-nearest-neighbor hopping amplitude.

Spin picture of the one-dimensional Hubbard model: Two-fluid structure and phase dynamics

Arianna Montorsi, Vittorio Penna

We propose a scheme for investigating the quantum dynamics of interacting electron models by means of a time-dependent variational principle and spin coherent states of space lattice operators. We apply such a scheme to the one-dimensional Hubbard model, and solve the resulting equations in different regimes. In particular, we find that at low densities the dynamics is mapped into two coupled nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations, whereas near half-filling the model is described by two coupled Josephson-junction arrays. Focusing then to the case in which only the phases of the spin variables are dynamically active, we examine a number of different solutions corresponding to the excitations of few macroscopic modes. Based on fixed-point equations of the simpler among them, we show that the standard one-band ground-state phase space is found.

On the Hartree-Fock phase diagram for the two-dimensional Hubbard model

Christophe Charlier, Edwin Langmann A, Jonatan Lenells

We propose an analytical method for the construction of Hartree-Fock phase diagrams for the (fermion) Hubbard model and various generalizations thereof. Such phase diagrams are traditionally constructed numerically, but we argue that, by using asymptotic techniques, it is possible to obtain analytic formulas approximating the curves separating the different phases to very high accuracy. To illustrate the new method, we apply it to the two-dimensional Hubbard model on the square lattice at zero temperature. This yields formulas for the Hartree-Fock phase boundaries that agree with, but also improve on, earlier numerical results. In particular, our results provide the first rigorous proof of the existence of mixed phases in this model.

One-dimensional extended Hubbard model in the atomic limit

Francesco Paolo Mancini, Francesco Paolo Mancini

We present the exact solution of the one-dimensional extended Hubbard model in the atomic limit within the Green's function and equations of motion formalism. We provide a comprehensive and systematic analysis of the model by considering all the relevant response and correlation functions as well as thermodynamic quantities in the whole parameters space. At zero temperature we identify four phases in the plane (U,n) ( U is the on-site potential and n is the filling) and relative phase transitions as well as different types of charge ordering. These features are endorsed by investigating at T=0 the chemical potential and pertinent local correlators, the particle and double occupancy correlation functions, the entropy, and by studying the behavior in the limit T-->0 of the charge and spin susceptibilities. A detailed study of the thermodynamic quantities is also presented at finite temperature. This study evidences that a finite-range order persists for a wide range of the temperature, as shown by the behavior of the correlation functions and by the two-peak structure exhibited by the charge susceptibility and by the entropy. Moreover, the equations of motion formalism, together with the use of composite operators, allows us to exactly determine the set of elementary excitations. As a result, the density of states can be determined and a detailed analysis of the specific heat allows for identifying the excitations and for ascribing its two-peak structure to a redistribution of the charge density.

The zoo of states in the Hubbard model

Robin Scholle

The two-dimensional Hubbard model is one of the most fundamental models in condensed matter physics. It captures many properties of cuprate high-temperature superconductors. Despite its apparent simplicity, solving the Hubbard model is a challenging task. In this work, we employ the Hartree-Fock approximation, as well as functional renormalization group methods, to construct phase diagrams of the Hubbard model and to shed light on the zoo of magnetic, charge ordered, and superconducting states. The Hartree-Fock approximation can self-consistently determine the expectation values of local charge and magnetic order parameters. Mean-field theories like this can lead to a deeper understanding of the competition, coexistence and transition of different orders. We start by employing the Hartree-Fock approximation in a completely unrestricted form on finite-size lattices and complement the results with calculations in the thermodynamic limit. We construct mean-field phase diagrams of the two-dimensional Hubbard model in the thermodynamic limit for different values of the next-nearest neighbor hopping as a function of filling and temperature. We find that the dominant magnetic orders at moderate coupling strength are Néel order around half-filling, followed by spiral order, and stripe order as the hole doping is increased. We also clarify the nature of the transition from magnetic spiral to stripe order. We then extend the Hartree-Fock scheme by a functional renormalization group flow, which generates new effective interactions and allows us to also access the superconducting phase of the Hubbard model. We present an improved phase diagram, featuring Néel, spiral, and stripe order coexisting with d-wave superconductivity at low temperatures. We analyze the coexistence and competition between these orders. Finally, we perform unrestricted Hartree-Fock calculations of a Hubbard model on the graphene lattice and the Bernal bilayer graphene lattice. We also construct magnetic phase diagrams for these geometries, which feature Néel order around half-filling and various stripe orders in a secondary magnetic dome.
