Superconducting phase with the (d + id) order parameter in an ensemble of Hubbard fermions on the triangular lattice

Abstract

In the framework of the t–J 1–J 2–V model, the integral equation determining the order parameter Δ(p) of the superconducting phase is derived for an ensemble of strongly correlated fermions on a triangular lattice using the diagram technique for the Hubbard operators. Taking into account the interaction between the Hubbard fermions within two coordination spheres, we demonstrate that the exact analytical solution Δ2(p) of this equation for the superconducting phase with the ( $$\left( {{d_{{x^2} - {y^2}}} + i{d_{xy}}} \right)$$ ) symmetry can be expressed as a superposition of two chiral basis functions. This gives rise to a new set of nodal points for the complex parameter Δ2(p). Moreover, at some critical value x c of the charge carrier density, we obtain a gapless phase with six Dirac points. The passing of x through x = x c is accompanied by the topological quantum transition corresponding to the change in the topological parameter Q.

Quantum criticality in the metal-superconductor transition of interacting Dirac fermions on a triangular lattice

Yuichi Otsuka, Kazuhiro Seki, Sandro Sorella +1 more

We investigate a semimetal-superconductor phase transition of two-dimensional Dirac electrons at zero temperature by large-scale and essentially unbiased quantum Monte Carlo simulations for the half-filled attractive Hubbard model on the triangular lattice, in the presence of alternating magnetic $\ensuremath{\pi}$ flux, that is introduced to construct two Dirac points in the one-particle bands at the Fermi level. This phase transition is expected to describe quantum criticality of the chiral XY class in the framework of the Gross-Neveu model, where, in the ordered phase, the $U(1)$ symmetry is spontaneously broken and a mass gap opens in the excitation spectrum. We compute the order parameter of the $s$-wave superconductivity and estimate the quasiparticle weight from the long-distance behavior of the single-particle Green's function. These calculations allow us to obtain the critical exponents of this transition in a reliable and accurate way. Our estimate for the critical exponents is in good agreement with those obtained for a transition to a Kekul\'e valence bond solid, where an emergent $U(1)$ symmetry is proposed [Z.-X. Li et al., Nat. Commun. 8, 314 (2017)].

Ferromagnetism and d+id superconductivity in 1/2 doped correlated systems on triangular lattice

Bing Ye, Andrej Mesaroš, Ying Ran

We investigate the quantum phase diagram of t-J model on triangular lattice at 1/2 doping with various lattice sizes by using a combination of density matrix renormalization group (DMRG), variational Monte Carlo and quantum field theories. To sharply distinguish different phases, we calculated the symmetry quantum numbers of the ground state wave functions, and the results are further confirmed by studying correlation functions. Our results show there is a first order phase transition from ferromagnetism to d+id superconductivity, with the transition taking place at $J/t=0.4\pm0.2$.

Ground-state phase diagram of the triangular lattice Hubbard model by the density-matrix renormalization group method

Tomonori Shirakawa, Takami Tohyama, J. Kokalj +2 more

Two-dimensional density-matrix renormalization group method is employed to examine the ground-state phase diagram of the Hubbard model on the triangular lattice at half-filling. The calculation reveals two discontinuities in the double occupancy with increasing the repulsive Hubbard interaction $U$ at ${U}_{\mathrm{c}1}\ensuremath{\sim}7.8t$ and ${U}_{\mathrm{c}2}\ensuremath{\sim}9.9t$ ($t$ being the hopping integral), indicating that there are three phases separated by first-order transitions. The absence of any singularity in physical quantities for $0\ensuremath{\le}U<{U}_{\mathrm{c}1}$ implies a metallic phase in this regime. For $U>{U}_{\mathrm{c}2}$, the local spin density induced by an applied pinning magnetic field exhibits a three sublattice feature, which is compatible with the ${120}^{\ensuremath{\circ}}$ N\'eel-ordered state realized in the limit of $U\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty}$. For ${U}_{\mathrm{c}1}<U<{U}_{\mathrm{c}2}$, a response to the applied pinning magnetic field is comparable to that in the metallic phase with a relatively large spin correlation length, but showing neither valence bond nor chiral magnetic order, which therefore resembles gapless spin liquid. However, the spin structure factor for the intermediate phase exhibits the maximum at the $\mathrm{K}$ and ${\mathrm{K}}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ points in the momentum space, which is not compatible to spin liquid with a large spinon Fermi surface. The calculation also finds that the pairing correlation function monotonically decreases with increasing $U$ and thus the superconductivity is unlikely in the intermediate phase.

Quantum simulations on square and triangular Hubbard models

Kuang-Shing Chen

In this thesis we try to understand the unconventional superconducting mechanism on cuprates and organic superconductors (or sodium cobaltates) which can be modeled by a two-dimensional square- and triangular-lattice Hubbard model respectively. The formation of the superconducting dome requires explanations of feasible scenarios. Generally speaking, pairing strength is provided by magnetic fl_x001D_uctuations in the strongly correlated region and the structure of the Fermi surface in this region will favor superconducting pairings with a certain type of symmetry. For the cuprate physics, a superconducting dome composed of d-wave pairings has been identified experimentally. We study the Hubbard model on square lattices and _x001C_find that the pairing strength is originated from anti-ferromagnetic instabilities, and the nearly nested Fermi surface with the square symmetry further supports the d-wave pairing. Moreover, our results show there is a quantum critical point (QCP) beneath the superconducting dome. The QCP is a zero-temperature instability which separates the Fermi liquid and pseudogap regions and exhibits the quantum _x001D_fluctuations which may lead to a high superconducting transition temperature. Above the QCP, a V-shape marginal Fermi liquid region associated with the quantum critical phenomena is also identi_x001C_fied. Using next-nearest-neighbor hopping, chemical potential, and temperature as control parameters, there is a line of Lifshitz transition associated with the change of topology of the Fermi surface. Along the Lifshitz line with t'<=0, the marginal Fermi liquid region prevails, the peak of density of states crosses the Fermi level, and the bare d-wave pairing susceptibility shows a universal scaling with the exponent consistent with theoretical proposals. For the triangular-lattice Hubbard model in the strongly correlated region, we _x001C_find a d+id superconducting pairing on the hole-doped side of the phase diagram. Here the pairing strength comes from the instabilities of the anti-ferromagnetic order (120-degree-spin structure), and the nested hexagon-deformed Fermi surface with the triangular symmetry further boosts the d+id symmetry. Due to the strong competition between electronic interactions and geometric frustrations, the superconductivity and other novel features of the system equal to or above half fi_x001C_lling requires future studies. The numerical tool we apply to study these systems is the dynamical cluster approximation with continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo as the solver. Our approach includes nonlocal correlations embedded in a mean _x001C_field host and is a most up-to-date and reliable approach in dealing with the above mentioned strongly correlated systems valid in the thermodynamic limit. Our _x001C_findings shine light on future investigations of the nature

Chiral superconductivity in the doped triangular-lattice Fermi-Hubbard model in two dimensions

Vinicius Zampronio, Tommaso Macrì

The triangular-lattice Fermi-Hubbard model has been extensively investigated in the literature due to its connection to chiral spin states and unconventional superconductivity. Previous simulations of the ground state of the doped system rely on quasi-one-dimensional lattices where true long-range order is forbidden. Here we simulate two-dimensional and quasi-one-dimensional triangular lattices using state-of-the-art Auxiliary-Field Quantum Monte Carlo. Upon doping a non-magnetic chiral spin state, we observe evidence of chiral superconductivity supported by long-range order in Cooper-pair correlation and a finite value of the chiral order parameter. With this aim, we first locate the transition from the metallic to the non-magnetic insulating phase and the onset of magnetic order. Our results pave the way towards a better understanding of strongly correlated lattice systems with magnetic frustration.
