Influence of next-nearest-neighbor electron hopping on the magnetic properties of the 2D Hubbard model

Abstract
Comparing experimental data for high temperature cuprate superconductors with numerical results for electronic models, it is becoming apparent that a diagonal hopping has to be included to obtain quantitative agreement. According to recent estimations the value of the diagonal hopping, t{prime}, appears to be material dependent. However, the values for t{prime} discussed in the literature were obtained comparing theoretical results in the non-interacting and weak-coupling limit with experimental photoemission data. The goal of this paper is to study how t{prime} gets renormalized as the interaction between electrons, U, increases. For this purpose, the effect of adding a bare diagonal hopping t{prime} to the fully interacting two dimensional Hubbard model Hamiltonian is investigated using numerical techniques. Positive and negative values of t{prime} are analyzed. Magnetic correlations and incommensurability are studied for values of U/t ranging from 0 to 6, and as a function of the electronic density.
