Abstract
Motivated by the presence of different orders in multilayered high-temperature superconductors, we examine a model consisting of nonequivalent two Hubbard chains coupled by interchain hopping by using the density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) and a mean-field theory. As an example, we consider a system with noninteracting chain without order and a Hubbard chain with strong antiferromagnetic (AF) spin-density-wave correlation. We find that the magnitude of the interchain hopping controls the strength of induced AF correlation as well as that of original one. It is also found that the induced AF correlation decreases with increasing the magnitude of the original correlation. Implications to the multilayered system are discussed. Recently the coexistence of antiferromagnetism and superconductivity has been reported in multilayered high-Tc cuprate superconductors from nuclear magnetic resonance experiments. 1),2) In the superconductors, there are different layers whose carrier concentrations are unequal. When the concentration is small (large), antiferromagnetic
