In this paper, the effect of the next-earest (t ′ ) and third-earest (t ′ ′ ) hopping terms on superconductivity (SC) of the two-dimensional (2D) extended t-J model is studied by the variational Monte-Carlo (VMC) method. For hole-doped systems, the d-wave pairing correlation is suppressed by t ′ and t ′ ′ for underdoped cases, while it can be greatly enhanced by proper values of t ′ and t ′ ′ for the overdoped ones. This behavior results from the deformation of the Fermi surfaces. PACS numbers: 74.20.-z, 71.18.+y The 2D t-J model is one of the most popular models for studying the properties of the high-temperature superconductivity (HTS) [1, 2]. Yet the problem whether this model can give such high Tc for the cuprates or not is still under debate [4–7]. It has been well accepted that the next-nearest-neighbor (t ′ ) and the third-nearest-neighbor (t ′ ′) hopping terms are necessary for models to explain several experiments like angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) of HTS [3]. However, the effect of t ′ and t ′ ′ on pairing correlation is also controversial. Previous DMRG studies of the two-dimensional (2D) extended t-J model show that the SC is suppressed (enhanced) for negative (positive) next-nearestneighbor hopping t ′ /t [8]. But results from first-principle calculation show that t ′ /t = −0.3 maximizes SC at optimal doping [9]. The Hamiltonian of the extended t-J model is H = Ht + HJ = − ∑ ij tij(˜c † i,σ ˜cj,σ + H.C.) + J ∑
Motivated by the recent discovery of the anomalously nearest-neighbor attraction arising from the electron-phonon coupling, we quantitatively investigate the enhancing effects of this additional attractive channel on the
d-wave superconductivity based on dynamic cluster quantum Monte Carlo calculations of a doped two-dimensional extended Hubbard model with nearest-neighbor attraction $\ensuremath{-}V$. Focusing on the range of $0<\ensuremath{-}V/t\ensuremath{\le}2$, our simulations indicate that the dynamics of
d-wave projected pairing interaction is attractive at all frequencies and increases with
∣V∣. Moreover, turning on $\ensuremath{-}V$ attraction enhances the $(\ensuremath{\pi},\ensuremath{\pi})$ spin fluctuations but only enhances (suppresses) the charge fluctuations for small (large) momentum transfer. Thus, at $V/t=\ensuremath{-}1$ relevant to the ``holon folding branch'', the charge fluctuations are insufficient to compete with the
d-wave pairing interaction strengthened by enhanced spin fluctuations. Our work suggests the underlying rich interplay between the spin and charge fluctuations in giving rise to the superconducting properties.
