A Monte Carlo Study of the Half-Filled Two-Dimensional Hubbard Model

Xing Long Zhu, Liu Chuan

Published Nov 15, 2001• 2 citations
Publisher

Abstract

Using the path integral representation, bulk thermodynamic properties of the two-dimensional Hubbard model on a square lattice are studied numerically using the hybrid Monte Carlo simulation algorithm. Results for averaged energy, spin-spin correlation functions and Cooper pair correlation functions are presented. All these results suggest that the system exhibits an anti-ferromagnetic correlation at half-filling for a wide range of temperature.

Magnetism in the two-dimensional Hubbard model (abstract)

J. E. Hirsch, Hsueh‐Ju Lin

The Hubbard model has been widely used to describe magnetism due to itinerant electrons. However, except for the one-dimensional case, no exact solution of the model exists. We have studied the two-dimensional Hubbard model on a square lattice using a Monte Carlo simulation technique. Simulations were performed on lattices of up to 8×8 in spatial size. We will discuss results for thermodynamic properties and correlation functions as a function of temperature and interaction strength. For the half-filled band case, our results indicate that the system exhibits long-range antiferromagnetic order in the ground state for any nonzero interaction, although substantially reduced from the classical Néel state due to both charge and spin fluctuations. For the non-half-filled band case, our results suggest that no long-range magnetic order exists. We also don’t find any indication of short-ranged ferromagnetic correlations in the parameter range studied. We have also studied the predictions of various approximate treatments for this model, particularly the static approximation and the coherent potential approximation (CPA). By comparison with the Monte Carlo results, we discuss the validity of these schemes. Finally, we discuss the effect of changing the band structure on the magnetic properties of the system.

Two-dimensional Hubbard model: Numerical simulation study

J. E. Hirsch

We have studied the two-dimensional Hubbard model on a square lattice with nearest-neighbor hopping. We first discuss the properties of the model within the mean-field approximation: Because of the form of the band structure, some peculiar features are found. We then discuss the simulation algorithm used and compare simulation results with exact results for 6-site chains to test the reliability of the approach. We present results for thermodynamic properties and correlation functions for lattices up to 8\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}8 in spatial size. The system is found to be an antiferromagnetic insulator for all values of the coupling constant at zero temperature in the half-filled-band case, but the long-range order is much smaller than predicted by mean-field theory. We perform a finite-size-scaling analysis to determine the character of the transition at zero coupling. For non-half-filled-band cases, our results suggest that the system is always paramagnetic, in contradiction with Hartree-Fock predictions. The system does not show tendency to ferromagnetism nor triplet superconductivity in the parameter range studied. We also discuss some properties of the attractive Hubbard model in the half-filled-band case.

Benchmark study of the two-dimensional Hubbard model with auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo method

Mingpu Qin, Hao Shi, Shiwei Zhang

Ground-state properties of the Hubbard model on a two-dimensional square lattice are studied by the auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo method. Accurate results for energy, double occupancy, effective hopping, magnetization, and momentum distribution are calculated for interaction strengths of $U/t$ from 2 to 8, for a range of densities including half-filling and $n=0.3,0.5,0.6,\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}0.75$, and $0.875$. At half-filling, the results are numerically exact. Away from half-filling, the constrained path Monte Carlo method is employed to control the sign problem. Our results are obtained with several advances in the computational algorithm, which are described in detail. We discuss the advantages of generalized Hartree-Fock trial wave functions and its connection to pairing wave functions, as well as the interplay with different forms of Hubbard-Stratonovich decompositions. We study the use of different twist angle sets when applying the twist averaged boundary conditions. We propose the use of quasirandom sequences, which improves the convergence to the thermodynamic limit over pseudorandom and other sequences. With it and a careful finite size scaling analysis, we are able to obtain accurate values of ground-state properties in the thermodynamic limit. Detailed results for finite-sized systems up to $16\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}16$ are also provided for benchmark purposes.

Antiferromagnetism in the Two-Dimensional Hubbard Model

J. E. Hirsch, Simon Y. Tang

Magnetic properties of the two-dimensional Hubbard-model are inferred from results of Monte Carlo simulations. Lattice sizes up to 8\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}8 and temperatures down to $T=\frac{t}{20}$ ($t=\mathrm{hopping}$) were studied. The half-filled system is found to exhibit antiferromagnetic long-range order for all values of the Coulomb repulsion $U$. The low-temperature magnetic properties are found to be well described by spin-wave theory with renormalized local moment and spin-wave velocity. Numerical evidence presented suggests that when doped the system loses the long-range order immediately away from half filling.

Néel temperature and thermodynamics of the half-filled three-dimensional Hubbard model by diagrammatic determinant Monte Carlo

Evgeny Kozik, Evgeni Burovski, V. W. Scarola +1 more

We study the thermodynamics of the three-dimensional Hubbard model at half filling on approach to the N\'eel transition by means of large-scale unbiased diagrammatic determinant Monte Carlo simulations. We obtain the transition temperature in the strongly correlated regime, as well as the temperature dependence of the energy, entropy, double occupancy, and nearest-neighbor spin correlation function. Our results improve the accuracy of previous unbiased studies and present accurate benchmarks in the ongoing effort to realize the antiferromagnetic state of matter with ultracold atoms in optical lattices.
