Extremely Corrrelated Fermi Liquid Theory of the t − t' − J Model in Low Dimensions

Abstract

In this work, we apply the extremely correlated Fermi liquid (ECFL) theory into studying the $t$-$t'$-$J$ model in one and two dimensions. In 1-d, we combine ECFL and time-dependent density matrix renormalization group (tDMRG) method. The two methods provide a unique insight into the strong momentum dependence of the self-energy of this prototypical non-Fermi liquid, described at low energies as aTomonaga-Luttinger liquid. We also demonstrate its intimate relationship to spin-charge separation,i.e. the splitting of Landau quasiparticles of higher dimensions into two constituents, driven bystrong quantum fluctuations inherent in one dimension. In 2-d, low energy properties of the metallic state of the two-dimensional $t$-$J$ model are presented for second neighbor hopping with hole-doping ($t'\\leq0$) and electron-doping ($t'>0$), with various superexchange energy $J$. The density and temperature dependent spectral properties, resistivity and Hall response are calculated. The spectral features display high thermal sensitivity at modest T for density $n\\geq 0.8$, implying a suppression of the effective Fermi-liquid temperature by two orders of magnitude relative to the bare bandwidth. Flipping the sign of $t'$ or varying doping $\\delta$ changes the curvature of the resistivity versus T curves between convex and concave, consistent to experimental findings.

Extremely correlated Fermi liquid theory of the t-J model in 2 dimensions: low energy properties

B. Sriram Shastry, Peizhi Mai

Low energy properties of the metallic state of the two-dimensional t - J model are presented for second neighbor hopping with hole-doping ( ) and electron-doping ( ), with various superexchange energy J . We use a closed set of equations for the Greens functions obtained from the extremely correlated Fermi liquid theory . These equations reproduce the known low energies features of the large U Hubbard model in infinite dimensions. The density and temperature dependent quasiparticle weight, decay rate and the peak spectral heights over the Brillouin zone are calculated. We also calculate the resistivity, Hall conductivity, Hall number and cotangent Hall angle. The spectral features display high thermal sensitivity at modest T for density , implying a suppression of the effective Fermi-liquid temperature by two orders of magnitude relative to the bare bandwidth. The cotangent Hall angle exhibits a T 2 behavior at low T , followed by an interesting kink at higher T . The Hall number exhibits strong renormalization due to correlations. Flipping the sign of changes the curvature of the resistivity versus T curves between convex and concave. Our results provide a natural route for understanding the observed difference in the temperature dependent resistivity of strongly correlated electron-doped and hole-doped matter.

t−t′−J model in one dimension using extremely correlated Fermi-liquid theory and time-dependent density matrix renormalization group

Peizhi Mai, Steven R. White, B. Sriram Shastry

We study the one-dimensional $t\text{\ensuremath{-}}{t}^{\ensuremath{'}}\text{\ensuremath{-}}J$ model for generic couplings using two complementary theories, the extremely correlated Fermi liquid theory and time dependent density matrix renormalization group over a broad energy scale. The two methods provide a unique insight into the strong momentum dependence of the self-energy of this prototypical non-Fermi liquid, described at low energies as a Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid. We also demonstrate its intimate relationship to spin-charge separation, i.e., the splitting of Landau quasiparticles of higher dimensions into two constituents, driven by strong quantum fluctuations inherent in one dimension. The momentum distribution function, the spectral function, and the excitation dispersion of these two methods also compare well.

Extremely correlated Fermi liquid of the t−J model in two dimensions

Peizhi Mai, B. Sriram Shastry

We study the two-dimensional $t\ensuremath{-}J$ model with second-neighbor hopping parameter ${t}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ and in a broad range of doping $\ensuremath{\delta}$ using a closed set of equations from the extremely correlated Fermi liquid theory. We obtain asymmetric energy distribution curves and symmetric momentum distribution curves of the spectral function, consistent with experimental data. We further explore the Fermi surface and local density of states for different parameter sets. Using the spectral function, we calculate the resistivity, Hall number, and spin susceptibility. The curvature change in the resistivity curves with varying $\ensuremath{\delta}$ is presented and connected to intensity loss in angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy experiments. We also discuss the role of the superexchange $J$ in the spectral function and the resistivity in the optimal to overdoped density regimes.

Extremely correlated Fermi liquids: Self-consistent solution of the second-order theory

Daniel Hansen, B. Sriram Shastry

We present detailed results from a recent microscopic theory of extremely correlated Fermi liquids, applied to the $t$-$J$ model in two dimensions, developed recently by Shastry [Phys. Rev. Lett. 107, 056403 (2011); Phys. Rev. B 87, 125124 (2013)]. The second-order theory in the parameter $\ensuremath{\lambda}$, related to the density, is argued to be quantitatively valid in the overdoped regime for $0\ensuremath{\le}n\ensuremath{\lesssim}0.75$, with $n$ denoting the particle density. The calculation involves the self-consistent solution of equations for an auxiliary Fermi liquid Green's function and an adaptive spectral weight. We present numerical results at low as well as high $T$, at various low to intermediate densities in the normal phase, using a minimal set of band parameters relevant to the cuprate superconductors. We display the momentum space occupation function ${m}_{k}$, energy dispersion curves locating the peaks of spectral functions, the optical conductivity, relaxation rates for quasiparticles, and the electronic spectral functions on an absolute scale. The line shapes have an asymmetric shape and a broad background that is also seen in experiments, and our calculations validate approximate recent versions of the theory. The results also display the experimentally noted high-energy kink and provide an in-depth understanding of its origin and dependence on band parameters.

Extremely correlated Fermi liquid theory meets dynamical mean-field theory: Analytical insights into the doping-driven Mott transition

Rok Žitko, Daniel Hansen, Edward Perepelitsky +3 more

We consider a doped Mott insulator in the large dimensionality limit within both the recently developed extremely correlated Fermi liquid (ECFL) theory and the dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT). We show that the general structure of the ECFL sheds light on the rich frequency dependence of the DMFT self-energy. Using the leading Fermi liquid form of the two key auxiliary functions introduced in the ECFL theory, we obtain an analytical ansatz, which provides a good quantitative description of the DMFT self-energy down to hole doping level $\ensuremath{\delta}\ensuremath{\simeq}0.2$. In particular, the deviation from Fermi liquid behavior and the corresponding particle-hole asymmetry developing at a low-energy scale are well reproduced by this ansatz. The DMFT being exact at large dimensionality, our study also provides a benchmark of the ECFL in this limit. We find that the main features of the self-energy and spectral line shape are well reproduced by the ECFL calculations in the $O({\ensuremath{\lambda}}^{2})$ minimal scheme, for not too low doping level $\ensuremath{\delta}\ensuremath{\gtrsim}0.3$. The DMFT calculations reported here are performed using a state-of-the-art numerical renormalization-group impurity solver, which yields accurate results down to an unprecedentedly small doping level $\ensuremath{\delta}\ensuremath{\lesssim}0.001$.

Extremely correlated limit of the Hubbard model

Edward Perepelitsky

In this work, we describe the simplifications to the Extremely Correlated Fermi Liquid Theory (ECFL) \\cite{ECFL, Monster} which occur in the limit of infinite spatial dimensions. In particular, we show that the single-particle electron Green's function G(k) can be written in terms of two momentum-independent self-energies. Moreover, we elucidate the nature of the ECFL \\lambda expansion in the limit of infinite dimensions and carry out this expansion explicitly to O(\\lambda^2). Additionally, we demonstrate the vanishing of vertex corrections to the optical conductivity in general and to each order in \\lambda in the limit of infinite dimensions. We generalize the ECFL formalism to the infinite-U Anderson impurity model (AIM) , and demonstrate a Dynamical Mean-Field Theory (DMFT) like mapping between the ECFL objects of the infinite-dimensional t-J model and the infinite-U AIM, and show that this mapping holds to each order in \\lambda. We compute the spectral function for the AIM to O (\\lambda^2) and make comparisons with results obtained through Numerical Renormalization Group (NRG) computations. Finally, we develop a novel formalism for the high-temperature expansion of dynamical correlation functions in the infinite-U Hubbard model which is more efficient than any used previously and gives results for an arbitrary number of spin species. We use it to calculate the single-particle Green's function G(k) to fourth order in (\\beta t) for m spin-species on a d-dimensional hypercube.
