Relationship between superconductivity and anisotropy in two-dimensional Hubbard model

Abstract

Abstract In connection with the symmetry-breaking phenomena found in cuprate superconductors, we check whether an anisotropy spontaneously appears or not in strongly correlated electrons that exhibit superconductivity and/or antiferromagnetism. A variational Monte Carlo method is applied to the square-lattice Hubbard model (U/t = 12) with diagonal transfer t′. In the trial wave function used, we introduce band renormalization factors including adjustable parameters for the anisotropy corresponding to the fourfold rotational symmetry breaking. It is confirmed that the anisotropy appears in the overdoped regime, where the Fermi-liquid features are predominant. In the underdoped area, the anisotropy does not appear for t′/t = 0 and +0.3, whereas it possibly appears in the underdoped regime for t′/t = −0.3.

Pomeranchuk Instability in Strongly Correlated Hubbard Model

Kenji Kobayashi, Hisatoshi Yokoyama

In connection with the symmetry-breaking phenomena found in cuprate superconductors, the instability toward x-y and (x + y)-(xy) anisotropy (Pomeranchuk instability) is studied for a strongly correlated Hubbard model (U/t = 12) on a square lattice with the next-nearest-neighbor transfer t ′ , using a variational Monte Carlo method.By analyzing a normal (paramagnetic), d x 2 -y 2 -wave superconducting, and antiferromagnetic states for t ′ /t = 0, ±0.3 and 0 ≤ δ ≤ 0.3 (δ: doping rate), we argue that the possibility of Pomeranchuk instability is limited to the normal state with t ′ /t = 0 and 0.05 ≲ δ ≲ 0.20 in the x-y anisotropy.Band-renormalization effects (Fermi-surface changes), which are introduced to each state, play a crucial role for the argument.

Predominance of Antiferromagnetism in Two-dimensional Underdoped Hubbard Model

H. Yokoyama, R. Sato, Kenji Kobayashi

Most studies of square-lattice Hubbard models in view of cuprate superconductors hitherto have neglected a band-renormalization effect (BRE) owing to strong electron correlation, especially, for an antiferromagnetic (AF) order. In this study, we introduce BRE into a d -wave superconducting and an AF states independently in the framework of many-body variation theory. It is found that, in sharp contrast to usual understandings, energy of an AF state is sizably reduced by BRE, and the AF area in the ground-state phase diagram is greatly expanded to cover the whole underdoped regime. The AF state with BRE exhibits distinct features according as the value of diagonal hopping ratio t ′/ t is greater or less than t ′/ t ∼ – 0.05.

Band Renormalization Effect on Interplay between Antiferromagnetism and Superconductivity in Hubbard Model

Kenji Kobayashi, Hisatoshi Yokoyama

To study the relationship between antiferromagnetism (AF) and superconductivity (SC) in cuprate superconductors, we have performed a variational Monte Carlo calculation on the two-dimensional Hubbard model with a diagonal transfer t' [1,2]. The following improvements are introduced into the variational function: (1) Coexistence of AF and d-wave singlet gaps that allows a continuous description of their interplay, (2) band renormalization effect owing to the electron correlation up to the fourth-neighbor hoppings, and (3) refined doublon-holon correlation factors. It is found that the AF and SC orders become coexistent or competitive according to the values of model parameters, U/t, t'/t, and δ (doping rate), and the effective band is strongly renormalized for large U/t and low doping rates, so as to recover the nesting condition favorable to AF.

Band-renormalization Effect on Relationship between Superconductivity and Antiferromagnetism in t-J Model

Kenji Kobayashi, R. Sato, H. Yokoyama

Having cuprate superconductors in mind, we study a band-renormalization effect on a coexisting state of antiferromagnetism (AF) and superconductivity (SC) in a t-J model on a square lattice with a diagonal transfer t ′ and three-site hopping terms, using a variational Monte Carlo method. It is found that this t-J model with t ′/ t = –0.3 exhibits coexistence of AF and SC orders in lightly doped regime and robust SC for a wide range of doping rate δ . This result contrasts with the previous results of a large- U/t Hubbard model, in which the two orders are mutually exclusive and a coexisting state does not appear; the SC state appears only in heavily doped regime (δ≳ 0.2), after the pure AF state vanishes at δ ∼ 0.2.

Superconductivity and Phase Separation in Extended Hubbard Model

Kenji Kobayashi, H. Yokoyama

Having cuprate superconductors in mind, we study the effect of intersite repulsion on antiferromagnetism (AF) and superconductivity (SC) in an extended Hubbard model on a square lattice with a diagonal transfer t′, using a variational Monte Carlo method. In the trial wave function, essential factors for Mott physics and band renormalization are included. It is found by introducing small intersite repulsion that the SC dome shrinks but AF is almost unchanged for U/t=10 (likely for cuprates). Meanwhile, instable range of doping rate (δ) toward phase separation becomes narrower. This instable range of δ almost coincides with the range of a finite AF gap, especially in good coincidence for t′/t=0.

Coexistence and Mutual Exclusion of Superconductivity and Antiferromagnetism, and Phase Separation in Hubbard Model

Kenji Kobayashi, Hisatoshi Yokoyama

In view of cuprate superconductors, interplay between antiferromagnetism (AF) and superconductivity (SC) is studied for the square-lattice Hubbard model with a diagonal transfer t , using a variational Monte Carlo method.In the trial wave function, essential factors of Mott physics and band renormalization are introduced.It is found that whether AF and SC become coexistent or competitive is sensitive to the values of model parameters, U/t, t /t, and δ (doping rate).Furthermore, in case AF gap is finite, namely, in pure AF or coexisting cases, the state is unstable against phase separation.
