The major characteristic of the single-band Hubbard model (HM) is to redistribute electrons at a uniform lattice separation distance within the molecular lattice. Hence, it is only linearly dependent on lattice separations distance. Thus the single-band Hubbard model does not consider the lattice gradient encountered by interacting electrons as they hop from one lattice point to another. The linear dependence of the single-band HM only on lattice separations would certainly not provide a thorough understanding of the interplay between interacting electrons. Consequently, we have in this study developed a gradient Hamiltonian model to solve the associated defects pose by the limitations of the single band Hubbard model. Thus, we utilized the single-band HM and the gradient Hamiltonian model to study the behaviour of two interacting electrons on a two dimensional (2D) 9X9 square lattice. It is revealed in this study that the results of the ground-state energies produced by the gradient Hamiltonian model are more favourable when compared to those of the single-band Hubbard model. We have also shown in this work, that the repulsive Coulomb interaction which in part leads to the strong electronic correlations, would indicate that the two electron system prefer not to condense into s-wave superconducting singlet state (s = 0), at high positive values of the interaction strength.

In this work, we developed the unit step model as an approximate solution to the single-band Hubbard Hamiltonian to solve variationally strongly correlated interacting elections on a two-dimensional (2D) square lattice. We also showed primarily how to derive possible electronic states available for several 2D N x N square lattices, although, with special emphasis on a 2D 5 x 5 square lattice. The results emerging from our present study was compared with the results of Gutzwiller variational approach (GVA) and correlated variational approach (CVA), at the large limit of the Coulomb interaction strength (U/4t).The approximation to the Hubbard Hamiltonian study is actually necessary because of the strong limitation and difficulty pose by the Hubbard Hamiltonian as we move away from finite - size lattices to larger N - dimensional lattices. Thus this work has provided a means of overcoming the finite - size lattice defects as we pass on to a higher dimension. We have shown in this study, that the repulsive Coulomb interaction which in part leads to the strong electronic correlations, would indicate that the two electron system prefer not to condense into s-wave superconducting singlet state (s = 0), at high positive values of the interaction strength. This study reveals that when the Coulomb interaction is zero, that is, for free electron system (non-interacting), the variational parameters which describe the probability distribution of lattice electron system is the same. The spectra intensity increases with increase in the interaction strength and it decreases to zero when the interaction strength is made negatively large.

The physical property of strongly correlated electrons on a three-dimensional (3D) 3 x 3 x 3 cluster of the simple cubic lattice is here presented.In the work we developed the unit step Hamiltonian as a solution to the single band Hubbard Hamiltonian for the case of two electrons interaction in a finite three dimensional lattice.The approximation to the Hubbard Hamiltonian study is actually necessary because of the strong limitation and difficulty pose by the Hubbard Hamiltonian as we move away from finite -size lattices to larger N -dimensional lattices.Thus this work has provided a means of overcoming the finite -size lattice defects as we pass on to a higher dimension.We have shown in this study, that the repulsive Coulomb interaction which in part leads to the strong electronic correlations, would indicate that the two electron system prefer not to condense into s-wave superconducting singlet state (s = 0), at high positive values of the interaction strength.This study reveals that when the Coulomb interaction is zero, that is, for free electron system (non-interacting), thevariational parameters which describe the probability distribution of lattice electron system is the same.The spectra intensity for on-site electrons is zero for all values of the interaction strength.
We study the one-band Hubbard model in a three dimensional simple cubic lattice, with periodic boundary conditions, by means of a variational analytic approach. Ground state energies and pairing correlations depend implicitly on the interaction strength (U/41). It is shown that for two electrons, the interaction is always repulsive in the ground state for any positive value of the on-site Coulomb interaction U. Implications of this result for superconductivity are also discussed. Nigerian Journal of Physics Vol. 16(2) 2004: 167-171
In the general frame of a modified many-body perturbation theory, the single-band Hubbard model is treated in the limit of weak electron-electron interaction. In this modification the decomposition of the Hamiltonian into an effective free system and an effective perturbation is rearranged iteratively in each order of the formalism, resulting in a successive reduction of the interaction part. In comparison with conventional perturbation techniques, this means an extended range of validity. Imposing thermodynamic self-consistency, we calculate the wave-vector-dependent electronic self-energy up to second order and analyze the influence of the Coulomb correlations. Several well-known physical properties of the Hubbard model are recovered in characteristic single-particle quantities. Therefore, the effect of the band occupation n and the electron-electron repulsion U on spectral densities, band structures, densities of states, magnetization, etc. is investigated in detail. Some of the most remarkable results are: first, a splitting of the free Bloch band into two quasiparticle subbands when the coupling strength reaches moderate values. These subbands are linked by a small damping-induced background in the density of states and are separated roughly by an energy of the order of U. In addition, the upper subband is shifted to higher energies in the spectrum proportionally to U while the lower one is nearly fixed. Second, we found a paramagnetic-ferromagnetic phase diagram that has a critical coupling strength Uc and exhibits strong indications of a lower critical occupation number nc. There is no spontaneous magnetization in the system for parameters smaller than these values. Compared with the Stoner model, one thus obtains striking improvements. In many cases our conclusions for the weak-coupling limit are qualitatively in good agreement with well-known results in the strong-correlation regime.
The description of a solid at a microscopic level is complex, involving the interaction of a huge number of its constituents, such as ions or electrons.The Hubbard model used in this research describes interacting electrons in narrow energy bands, with application to problems as diverse as high -Tc superconductivity, band magnetism and the metal-insulator transition.This research seeks to solve one of the most challenging problems in Theoretical physics which is to describe electronic correlations.In this research the t -U Hubbard model is used to solve analytically and numerically using the exact diagonalization techniques This research work focused on the spin interaction and magnetic behavior of some systems and it is therefore an investigation into the various phenomena seen in the phase diagram of ferromagnetic systems.We studied the 2 electrons on 2 sites, 2 electrons on 3 sites and 2 electrons on 4 sites all in One-Dimension (1-D), where the onsite coulomb repulsion, U, and the hopping matrix element, t, were varies to determine their magnetic phase diagram.This results obtained shows that, as the values of the onsite coulomb repulsion, U, increases in all the lattice systems studied, the electronic correlation that favours ferromagnetism gets stronger, but there were no clear transition, and at some point the lattices loss its antiferromagnetic properties, hence the instability of ferromagnetism were established.It was also observed that as the hopping matrix element, t, increases the electronic correlation that favours ferromagnetism get stronger and the lattice begins to loss antiferromagnetic properties but beyond the transition point the lattice began to gain a much stronger antiferromagnetism, hence the ferromagnetism is unstable.
In this paper, a detailed study of the dynamics of the behavior of two electrons in two dimensions is carried out. Over the years, the Hubbard model has been heavily used as one of the standard models for the study of strongly correlated electron systems. Despite this, the mechanism of interaction of these electrons in two- dimensional systems is yet to be properly understood. Based on this clarity problem, a modification of the standard Lanczos algorithm which is slightly different, simpler and more analytical than that presented by Dagotto in his review paper is used in a concerted attempt to produce relevant results for the correlated ground state energies and wave functions and the behavior of the interacting pairs is explained with the aid of the well known single band Hubbard model. Hence this study has been able to develop, stabilize and utilize a simplified modification of the standard Lanczos technique. From results obtained, for large and positive values of u, interaction is repulsive while it is attractive for negative values of u. The wave function can be readily obtained at the end of each step of iteration.
