Abstract

We investigate two-component ultracold fermions loaded in a decorated honeycomb lattice described by the Hubbard model with repulsive interactions and nearest-neighbor hopping. The phase transitions are studied by combining the cellular dynamical mean-field theory with the continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo method. For weak interactions, the quadratic band crossing point is broken to a linear band crossing point and the system becomes a semimetal. With increasing interaction, the system undergoes a first-order phase transition to an antiferromagnetic Mott insulator at low temperatures. Below the critical temperature, due to the charge nematic fluctuation, a nematic metal forms between the semimetal and the antiferromagnetic Mott insulator. The effects of lattice anisotropy are also addressed. Furthermore, we discuss how to detect these phases in real experiments.

Nematic Metal and Antiferromagnetic Insulator on the Star Lattice

Heng-Fu Lin, Yao‐Hua Chen, Haidi Liu +2 more

We investigate the phase transition of the Hubbard model on the star lattice as a function of interaction, temperature and lattice anisotropy, by combining the cellular dynamical mean-field theory with the continuous time quantum Monte Carlo method. It is found that the quadratic band-crossing point is broken and the semi-metal is formed for any weak interaction. With the increasing of the interaction, the system goes a first order transition to antiferromagnetic Mott insulator at low temperature. Below a critical temperature, due to the charge nematic fluctuation, a nematic metal forms between the weak coupling semi-metal and strong correlated Mott insulator. When the lattice anisotropy increases, the region of the nematic metal is enlarged. Furthermore, we discuss how to detect these phases in real experiments.

Ferromagnetism of cold fermions loaded into a decorated square lattice

We investigate two-component ultracold fermions loaded into a decorated square lattice, which are described by the Hubbard model with repulsive interactions and nearest-neighbor hoppings. By combining the real-space dynamical mean-field theory with the numerical renormalization-group method, we discuss how a ferromagnetically ordered ground state in the weak-coupling regime, which originates from the existence of a dispersionless band, is adiabatically connected to a Heisenberg ferrimagnetic state in the strong-coupling limit. The effects of level splitting and hopping imbalance are also addressed.

Interacting Dirac fermions on honeycomb lattice

Wéi Wú, Yao‐Hua Chen, Hong-Shuai Tao +2 more

We investigate the interacting Dirac fermions on honeycomb lattice by cluster dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) combined with continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo simulation. A novel scenario for the semimetal-Mott insulator transition of the interacting Dirac fermions is found beyond the previous DMFT studies. Our results suggest that for weak interaction, the system is semimetal and the Fermi velocity keeps constant. The system undergoes a second-order Mott transition with increasing the interaction strength. We demonstrate that the nonlocal spatial correlations play a vital role in the Mott transition on the honeycomb lattice. A phase diagram of Mott transition is presented. We also elaborate the experimental protocol to observe this phase transition by the ultracold atoms on optical honeycomb lattice.

Mott transition in ruby lattice Hubbard model*

An Bao

Abstract Mott transition in a ruby lattice with fermions described by the Hubbard model including on-site repulsive interaction is investigated by combining the cellular dynamical mean-field theory and the continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo algorithm. The effect of temperature and on-site repulsive interaction on the metallic–insulating phase transition in ruby lattice with fermions is discussed based on the density of states and double occupancy. In addition, the magnetic property of each phase is discussed by defining certain magnetic order parameters. Our results show that the antiferromagnetic metal is found at the low temperature and weak interaction region and the antiferromagnetic insulating phase is found at the low temperature and strong interaction region. The paramagnetic metal appears in whole on-site repulsive interaction region when the temperature is higher than a certain value and the paramagnetic insulator appears at the middle scale of temperature and on-site repulsive interaction.

Phase transitions of the ionic Hubbard model on the honeycomb lattice

Heng-Fu Lin, Haidi Liu, Hong-Shuai Tao +1 more

Many-body problem on the honeycomb lattice systems have been the subject of considerable experimental and theoretical interest. Here we investigate the phase transitions of the ionic Hubbard model on the honeycomb lattice with an alternate ionic potential for the half filling and hole doping cases by means of cellular dynamical mean field theory combining with continue time quantum Monte Carlo as an impurity solver. At half filling, as the increase of the interaction at a fixed ionic potential, we find the single particle gap decreases firstly, reaches a minimum at a critical interaction Uc, then increases upturn. At Uc, there is a band insulator to Mott insulator transition accompanying with the presence of the antiferromagnetic order. Away from half filing, the system shows three phases for the different values of hole density and interaction, paramagnetic metal, antiferromagnetic metal and ferromagnetic metal. Further, we present the staggered particle number, the double occupancy, the staggered magnetization, the uniform magnetization and the single particle spectral properties, which exhibit characteristic features for those phases.

The Semimetal-Antiferromagnetic Mott Insulator Quantum Phase Transition of the Hubbard Model on the Honeycomb Lattice

Johann Ostmeyer, Evan Berkowitz, Stefan Krieg +3 more

The Hubbard model on the honeycomb lattice undergoes a quantum phase transition from a semimetallic to a Mott insulating phase and from a disordered to an anti-ferromagnetically phase. We show that these transitions occur simultaneously and we calculate the critical coupling $U_c=3.835(14)$ as well as the critical exponents $\nu=1.181(43)$ and $\beta= 0.898(37)$ which are expected to fall into the $SU(2)$ Gross-Neveu universality class. For this we employ Hybrid Monte Carlo simulations, extrapolate the single particle gap and the spin structure factors to the thermodynamic and continuous time limits, and perform a data collapse fit. We also determine the zero temperature values of single particle gap and staggered magnetisation on both sides of the phase transition.
