LUTTINGER-LIQUID BEHAVIOUR IN 2D: THE VARIATIONAL APPROACH

Claudius Gros, Roser Valentí

Published Feb 10, 1993• 9 citations
Publisher

Abstract

We study a variational formulation of the Luttinger-liquid concept in two dimensions. We show that a Luttinger-liquid wavefunction with an algebraic singularity at the Fermiedge is given by a Jastrow-Gutzwiller type wavefunction, which we evaluate by variational Monte Carlo for lattices with up to 38 × 38 = 1444 sites. We therefore find that, from a variational point of view, the concept of a Luttinger liquid is well defined even in 2D. We also find that the Luttinger liquid state is energetically favoured by the projected kinetic energy in the context of the 2D t-J model. We study and find coexistence of d-wave superconductivity and Luttinger-liquid behaviour in two-dimensional projected wavefunctions. We then argue that generally, any two-dimensional d-wave superconductor should be unstable against Luttinger-liquid type correlations along the (quasi-1D) nodes of the d-wave order parameter, at temperatures small compared to the gap.

Luttinger liquid instability of the 2Dt-Jmodel: A variational study

Roser Valentí, Claudius Gros

We study variationally the possible occurrence of a Luttinger liquid in the normal state of the 2D t-J model. For this, we generalize to 2D a Luttinger-Jastrow-Gutzwiller-type wave function introduced by Hellberg and Mele for the 1D t-J model. We show that this wave function does show also in 2D the characteristic correlations of a Luttinger liquid and the gains in kinetic energy stabilize the Luttinger liquid state with respect to Fermi liquid states with short-range correlations only. In addition, we provide rigorous lower bounds to the transition to the fully phase separated state at larger ratios J/t.

A VARIATIONAL STUDY OF FERMI AND LUTTINGER LIQUID WAVEFUNCTIONS IN THE TWO-DIMENSIONAL t-J MODEL

Franjo Franjic, Sandro Sorella

Using a recently developed technique, we determine the Jastrow potential of the variational wavefunction for the two-dimensional t-J model. This wavefunction describes a Fermi liquid ground state and is compared with the Luttinger liquid wavefunction used by Gros and Valentí. Estimates of the energy of these states are calculated using the variational Monte Carlo technique, showing that the Fermi liquid state has a little power energy.

From Luttinger liquid to Mott insulator: The correct low-energy description of the one-dimensional Hubbard model by an unbiased variational approach

Manuela Capello, Federico Becca, Seiji Yunoki +2 more

We show that a particular class of variational wave functions reproduces the low-energy properties of the Hubbard model in one dimension. Our approach generalizes to finite on-site Coulomb repulsion the fully projected wave function proposed by Hellberg and Mele [Phys. Rev. Lett. 67, 2080 (1991)] for describing the Luttinger-liquid behavior of the doped $t\ensuremath{-}J$ model. Within our approach, the long-range Jastrow factor emerges from a careful minimization of the energy, without assuming any parametric form for the long-distance tail. Specifically, in the conducting phase of the Hubbard model at finite hole doping, we obtain the correct power-law behavior of the correlations, with the exponents predicted by the Tomonaga-Luttinger theory. By decreasing the doping, the insulating phase is reached with a continuous change of the small-$q$ part of the Jastrow factor.

One-dimensionalt-Jmodel from a variational viewpoint

Hisatoshi Yokoyama, Masao Ogata

The one-dimensional (1D) t-J model is investigated by using a Gutzwiller-Jastrow-type variation method and the exact diagonalization of small systems. Variational expectation values are estimated by the variational Monte Carlo method with sufficient accuracy. First, we give detailed descriptions of the preceding paper [Phys. Rev. Lett. 67, 3610 (1991)], where we discussed the properties of the Fermi-liquid-type Jastrow wave function as well as the Gutzwiller wave function. Secondly, these wave functions are compared with the Tomonaga-Luttinger-liquid-type wave function proposed by Hellberg and Mele. It is found that the correlation factors in short distances control bulk quantities like energy and the magnitude of the correlation functions, while the long-range part of the correlation factors determines the critical behavior of correlation functions. Finally, using these functions, charge, spin susceptibilities, and magnetization curve are estimated, which agree with the exact results. It is shown that the Mott transition in the 1D t-J model is quite different from the Brinkman-Rice transition. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

Ground State Properties of Strongly Correlated Fermion Systems

C. Stephen Hellberg

We present very general techniques for investigating strongly correlated lattice fermions in one dimension. We derive a variational wave function with a long ranged Jastrow factor that automatically satisfies the no double occupancy constraint present in many model Hamiltonians. The wave function is shown to be a generalized Luttinger liquid, and we use it to estimate ground state properties of the strongly correlated Hubbard model and the t-J model. We develop a numerical method to project the ground state from an arbitrary trial state. With the Luttinger liquid wave function as the initial guess, we calculate the exact ground state phase diagram of the t-J model. We discover a new phase in the model where Luttinger liquid behavior breaks down and superconducting correlations dominate the long range behavior of the system.

Numerical evidence of Luttinger- and Fermi-liquid behavior in the two-dimensional Hubbard model

Sandro Sorella

The two-dimensional Hubbard model with a single spin-up electron interacting with a finite density of spin-down electrons is studied by use of the quantum Monte Carlo technique, the standard second-order perturbation theory and a very good variational wave function introduced recently by Edwards. We also present a new conjugate gradient scheme for the evaluation of this variational state. We performed simulations up to 242 sites at U/t=4 reaching the zero-temperature properties with no ``fermion-sign problem'' and found a surprisingly good accuracy of the Edwards state at low density or low doping. The conjugate gradient method was then applied to the system up to 3698 sites and infinite U. Fermi-liquid theory seems to remain stable in two dimensions for all cases studied with the exception of the half-filling case where a Luttinger-like behavior survives in the Hubbard model, yielding a vanishing quasiparticle weight in the thermodynamic limit.
