Abstract

A constrained path quantum Monte Carlo simulation is performed to investigate the superconducting pairing correlation in doped staggered-flux Hubbard model on a square lattice, which is an interesting platform to host Dirac fermions. For various electron fillings and interaction strengths, the [Formula: see text] pairing dominates over other pairing forms since its long-range correlation is larger over mostly distances. We deepen our study by including the nearest-neighbor interaction [Formula: see text] and found the [Formula: see text] pairing correlation is slightly suppressed by increasing [Formula: see text].

Pairing correlation of the three-band Hubbard model with the nearest attraction

To gain a deeper understanding of the high-temperature superconductivity in doped cuprates, the constrained-path quantum Monte Carlo method was used to explore the superconducting pairing correlation function and effective pairing interaction in the three-band Hubbard model. Our main observation was that in the low doping region, compared to other symmetries, [Formula: see text]-wave superconducting pairing dominates. The Coulomb interaction [Formula: see text] suppresses [Formula: see text]-wave pairing correlation, while the effective pairing interaction is both enhanced by the increasing [Formula: see text] and the nearest attraction. These results are used to understand the superconducting state in copper oxide high-temperature superconductors.

Ground state superconducting pair correlations in twisted bilayer graphene

Motivated by the recent novel electronic features extracted from the magic-angle graphene superlattices, we studied the ground state superconducting pairing correlations within the Hubbard model on a twisted bilayer honeycomb lattice. Using Constrained-Path Quantum Monte Carlo method, we found that the [Formula: see text] pairing correlation dominates over other pairing patterns among various electron fillings and interaction strengths, and the effective pairing interaction was enhanced as the on-site Coulomb interaction increased. We further examined the effect of the nearest neighbor interaction [Formula: see text], and the effective pairing interaction with [Formula: see text] pairing symmetry was also enhanced by either a repulsive or attractive interaction. Our intensive numerical results confirm the interaction driven superconductivity with a dominant [Formula: see text] pairing symmetry in twisted bilayer graphene.

Quantum Monte Carlo study of magnetic ordering and superconducting pairing symmetry in twisted bilayer graphene

Shi-Chao Fang, Guangkun Liu, Hai-Qing Lin +1 more

To understand correlated insulating and unconventional superconducting states in twisted bilayer graphene, we perform a systematic study of spin and pairing correlations in an effective two-orbital Hubbard model, by using the ground-state constrained-path quantum Monte Carlo method. Our numerical simulations reveal that when only the on-site Hubbard $U$ is considered, the long-range magnetic order develops for $U\ensuremath{\ge}3.2t$ at half filling. Upon doping away from half filling, an analysis based on the pairing correlations and corresponding vertex contributions identifies that pairing with the $d+id$ symmetry is the dominant pairing channel. As the on-site Coulomb interaction is increased, both spin correlation and effective pairing interaction are enhanced simultaneously, indicating the intimate relation between magnetism and superconductivity. An inclusion of nearest neighbor Coulomb interaction $V$ results in a suppression of the $d+id$ superconductivity, but it can survive in the small $V$ regime. Our findings are useful for clarifying the ongoing controversy on the superconducting pairing symmetry in twisted bilayer graphene.

Pairing in graphene: A quantum Monte Carlo study

Tianxing Ma, Zhongbing Huang, Feiming Hu +1 more

To address the issue of electron correlation driven superconductivity in graphene, we perform a systematic quantum Monte Carlo study of the pairing correlation in the $t\ensuremath{-}U\ensuremath{-}V$ Hubbard model on a honeycomb lattice. For $V=0$ and close to half filling, we find that pairing with $d+id$ (${d}_{{x}^{2}\ensuremath{-}{y}^{2}}+i{d}_{xy}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ in its specific form) symmetry dominates pairing with extended-$s$ symmetry. However, as the system size or the on-site Coulomb interaction increases, the long-range part of the $d+id$ pairing correlation decreases and tends to vanish in the thermodynamic limit. An inclusion of nearest-neighbor interaction $V$, either repulsive or attractive, has a small effect on the extended-$s$ pairing correlation, but strongly suppresses the $d+id$ pairing correlation.

Quantum Monte Carlo study of the dominating pairing symmetry in doped honeycomb lattice*

Xingchuan Zhu, Tao Ying, Huaiming Guo +1 more

We perform a systematic determinant quantum Monte Carlo (DQMC) study of the dominating pairing symmetry in a doped honeycomb lattice. The Hubbard model is simulated over a full range of filling levels for both weak and strong interactions. For weak couplings, the d-wave state dominates. The effective susceptibility as a function of filling shows a peak, and its position moves toward half filling as the temperature is increased, from which the optimal filling of the superconducting ground state is estimated. Although the sign problem becomes severe for strong couplings, the simulations access the lowest temperature at which the DQMC method generates reliable results. As the coupling is strengthened, the d-wave state is enhanced in the high-filling region. Our systematic DQMC results provide new insights into the superconducting pairing symmetry in the doped honeycomb lattice.

Quantum Monte Carlo study of Spin, Charge, and Pairing correlations in the t−t′−U Hubbard model

Zhongbing Huang, Hua Lin, James E. Gubernatis

To clarify the effects of next-nearest-neighbor electron hopping ${t}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ on the spin, charge, and pairing correlations, we studied the two-dimensional $t\ensuremath{-}{t}^{\ensuremath{'}}\ensuremath{-}U$ Hubbard model using the constrained-path Monte Carlo technique. We found that a negative ${t}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ suppresses the spin fluctuations near the Brillouin zone point $M=(\ensuremath{\pi},\ensuremath{\pi})$ and the charge fluctuations near the point $X=(\ensuremath{\pi},0),$ while a positive ${t}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ has the opposite effect. For a negative ${t}^{\ensuremath{'}},$ we also found that the long-range vertex contributions to the pairing correlations are heavily suppressed, but the local contributions are enhanced. Over the entire hole doping range studied, the d-wave long-range vertex contributions to pairing dominated those of the extended s-wave vertex contributions. In general, we did not find any tendency for these correlations to grow with increasing system size. We also did a limited number of simulations with an attractive nearest neighbor density-density interaction added to the $t\ensuremath{-}{t}^{\ensuremath{'}}\ensuremath{-}U$ model. It enhanced the long-range vertex contributions to the pairing correlations only for weak values of U.
