Abstract

We present the quantum phase diagram of the one-dimensional t- J(z) model for arbitrary spin (integer or half-integer) and sign of the spin-spin interaction J(z), using an exact mapping to a spinless fermion model that can be solved exactly using the Bethe ansatz. We discuss its superconducting phase as a function of hole doping nu. Motivated by the new paradigm of high temperature superconductivity, the stripe phase, we also consider the effect the antiferromagnetic background has on the t- J(z) chain intended to mimic the stripe segments.

Ground-state phase diagram of the t-t ′ -J model

Shengtao Jiang, Douglas J. Scalapino, Steven R. White

We report results of large-scale ground-state density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) calculations on t-[Formula: see text]-J cylinders with circumferences 6 and 8. We determine a rough phase diagram that appears to approximate the two-dimensional (2D) system. While for many properties, positive and negative [Formula: see text] values ([Formula: see text]) appear to correspond to electron- and hole-doped cuprate systems, respectively, the behavior of superconductivity itself shows an inconsistency between the model and the materials. The [Formula: see text] (hole-doped) region shows antiferromagnetism limited to very low doping, stripes more generally, and the familiar Fermi surface of the hole-doped cuprates. However, we find [Formula: see text] strongly suppresses superconductivity. The [Formula: see text] (electron-doped) region shows the expected circular Fermi pocket of holes around the [Formula: see text] point and a broad low-doped region of coexisting antiferromagnetism and d-wave pairing with a triplet p component at wavevector [Formula: see text] induced by the antiferromagnetism and d-wave pairing. The pairing for the electron low-doped system with [Formula: see text] is strong and unambiguous in the DMRG simulations. At larger doping another broad region with stripes in addition to weaker d-wave pairing and striped p-wave pairing appears. In a small doping region near [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text], we find an unconventional type of stripe involving unpaired holes located predominantly on chains spaced three lattice spacings apart. The undoped two-leg ladder regions in between mimic the short-ranged spin correlations seen in two-leg Heisenberg ladders.

Phase diagram of mixed-dimensional anisotropic t−J models

Julius Dicke, Lukas Rammelmüller, Fabian Grusdt +1 more

We study the phase diagram of two different mixed-dimensional $t\text{\ensuremath{-}}{J}_{z}\text{\ensuremath{-}}{J}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}$ models on the square lattice, in which the hopping amplitude $t$ is only nonzero along the $x$ direction. In the first model, which is bosonic, the spin-exchange amplitude ${J}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}$ is negative and isotropic along the $x$ and $y$ directions of the lattice, and ${J}_{z}$ is isotropic and positive. The low-energy physics is characterized by spin-charge separation: the holes hop as free fermions in an easy-plane ferromagnetic background. In the second model, ${J}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}$ is restricted to the $x$ axis while ${J}_{z}$ remains isotropic and positive. The model is agnostic to particle statistics, and shows stripe patterns with antiferromagnetic N\'eel order at low temperature and high hole densities, in resemblance of the mixed-dimensional $t\text{\ensuremath{-}}{J}_{z}$ and $t\text{\ensuremath{-}}J$ models. At lower hole density, a very strong first-order transition and hysteresis loop is seen extending to a remarkably high 14(1)% hole doping.

Holes in the t−Jz model: A diagrammatic study

A. L. Chernyshev, P. W. Leung

The $t\ensuremath{-}{J}_{z}$ model is the strongly anisotropic limit of the $t\ensuremath{-}J$ model which captures some general properties of doped antiferromagnets (AF's). The absence of spin fluctuations simplifies the analytical treatment of hole motion in an AF background, and allows us to calculate single- and two-hole spectra with a high accuracy using a regular diagram technique combined with a real-space approach. At the same time, numerical studies of this model via exact diagonalization on small clusters show negligible finite-size effects for a number of quantities, thus allowing a direct comparison between analytical and numerical results. Both approaches demonstrate that the holes have a tendency to pair in p- and d-wave channels at realistic values of $t/J.$ Interactions leading to pairing and effects selecting p and d waves are thoroughly investigated. The role of transverse spin fluctuations is considered using perturbation theory. Based on the results of the present study, we discuss the pairing problem in the realistic $t\ensuremath{-}J$-like model. Possible implications for preformed pairs formation and phase separation are drawn.

Sign structure of the t − t ′ − J model and its physical consequences

Xin Lu, Jiaxin Zhang, Shou-Shu Gong +2 more

Understanding the doped Mott insulator is a central challenge in condensed matter physics. In this work, we first explicitly identify a new sign structure in the $t\text{\ensuremath{-}}{t}^{\ensuremath{'}}\text{\ensuremath{-}}J$ model on the square lattice that replaces the conventional Fermi statistics for weakly interacting electrons. Then we show that the singular, i.e., the phase-string part of the sign structure in the partition function can be precisely turned off in a modified model. The density matrix renormalization group method is then employed to study these two models comparatively on finite-size systems, which is designed to unveil the consequences of the phase-string component. We find that the hole pairing is present not only in the quasi-long-range superconducting phase but also in the stripe phase of the $t\text{\ensuremath{-}}{t}^{\ensuremath{'}}\text{\ensuremath{-}}J$ model. However, once the phase-string is switched off, both the superconducting and stripe orders together with the underlying hole pairing disappear. The corresponding ground state reduces to a trivial Fermi-liquid-like state with small hole Fermi pockets that is decoupled from the antiferromagnetic spin background. It is in sharp contrast to the original $t\text{\ensuremath{-}}{t}^{\ensuremath{'}}\text{\ensuremath{-}}J$ model where large Fermi surfaces can be restored in the stripe phase found at ${t}^{\ensuremath{'}}/t<0$ or the superconducting phase at ${t}^{\ensuremath{'}}/t>0$ in the six-leg ladder calculation. Our study clearly demonstrates that the strong correlation effect in doped Mott insulator should be mainly attributed to the long-range quantum entanglement between the spin and charge, which is, nonperturbatively, beyond a simple spin-charge separation under the no double occupancy constraint.

Phase Separation in Mixtures of Hard Core Bosons

Massimo Boninsegni

A theoretical investigation of boson versions of the t-J and t-J(z) models on the square lattice is carried out. In the t-J(z) model, phase separation between a hole-rich and a hole-free phase occurs, at sufficiently low hole doping, for arbitrarily small values of J(z). The boson t-J model, instead, features a uniform ground state at any doping for J/t< or =1.5. No evidence of a striped ground state is found. Relevance of this study to the corresponding fermion models is discussed. Fermi statistics is found to enhance the tendency toward phase separation; in particular, phase separation is predicted, at low doping, in the fermion t-J(z) model, at all values of J(z).

Z2 Parton Phases in the Mixed-Dimensional t−Jz Model

Fabian Grusdt, Lode Pollet

We study the interplay of spin and charge degrees of freedom in a doped Ising antiferromagnet, where the motion of charges is restricted to one dimension. The phase diagram of this mixed-dimensional t-J_{z} model can be understood in terms of spinless chargons coupled to a Z_{2} lattice gauge field. The antiferromagnetic couplings give rise to interactions between Z_{2} electric field lines which, in turn, lead to a robust stripe phase at low temperatures. At higher temperatures, a confined meson-gas phase is found for low doping whereas at higher doping values, a robust deconfined chargon-gas phase is seen, which features hidden antiferromagnetic order. We confirm these phases in quantum Monte Carlo simulations. Our model can be implemented and its phases detected with existing technology in ultracold atom experiments. The critical temperature for stripe formation with a sufficiently high hole concentration is around the spin-exchange energy J_{z}, i.e., well within reach of current experiments.
