Abstract

The one-electron density of states for the half-filled Hubbard model on a triangular lattice is studied as a function of both temperature and Hubbard U using Quantum Monte Carlo. We find three regimes: (1) a strong-coupling Mott-Hubbard regime, characterized by a gap which persists even at high temperatures; (2) a weak-coupling paramagnetic regime, characterized by the absence of a pseudogap at any finite temperature; and (3) an intermediate-coupling (spiral) spin-density-wave regime, characterized by a pseudogap which appears when U is increased beyond a critical (temperature dependent) value. The behavior of the sqrt(3) times sqrt{3} adlayer structures on fourth-group semiconductor surfaces is briefly commented upon in the light of the above discussion.

Pseudogap formation in the half-filled Hubbard model

Marco Vekić, Steven R. White

Using quantum Monte Carlo, we study the evolution of pseudogaps in the spectral weight function for a half-filled two-dimensional Hubbard model as a function of temperature and coupling constant. The formation of pseudogaps at finite temperature can be used to distinguish between three regimes: (1) a strong-coupling Mott-Hubbard regime, characterized by a pseudogap which persists even at high temperatures; (2) a weak-coupling spin-density-wave regime, characterized by the absence of a pseudogap at any finite temperature; and (3) an intermediate-coupling regime with mixed behavior, characterized by a pseudogap that appears at a finite temperature.

ANISOTROPIC PSEUDOGAP IN THE HALF-FILLING TWO-DIMENSIONAL HUBBARD MODEL AT FINITE TEMPERATURE

Taiichiro Saikawa, Álvaro Antônio Bandeira Ferraz

We have studied the pseudogap formation in the single-particle spectra of the half-filling two-dimensional Hubbard model. Using a Green's function with the one-loop self-energy correction of the spin and charge fluctuations, we have numerically calculated the self-energy, the spectral function, and the density of states in the weak-coupling regime at finite temperatures. Pseudogap formations have been observed in both the density of states and the spectral function at the Fermi level. The pseudogap in the spectral function is explained by the non-Fermi-liquid-like nature of the self-energy. The anomalous behavior in the self-energy is caused by both the strong antiferromagnetic spin fluctuation and the nesting condition on the non-interacting Fermi surface. In the present approximation, we find a logarithmic singularity in the integrand of the self-energy imaginary part. The pseudogap in the spectral function is highly momentum dependent on the Fermi surface. This anisotropy of the pseudogap is produced by the flatness of the band dispersion around the saddle point rather than the nesting condition on the Fermi level.

Mott transition, Widom line, and pseudogap in the half-filled triangular lattice Hubbard model

P.-O. Downey, Olivier Gingras, Jérôme Fournier +3 more

The Mott transition is observed experimentally in materials that are magnetically frustrated so that long-range order does not hide the Mott transition at finite temperature. The Hubbard model on the triangular lattice at half filling is a paradigmatic model to study the interplay of interactions and frustration on the normal-state phase diagram. We use the dynamical cluster approximation with continuous-time auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo to solve this model for 1-, 4-, 6-, 12-, and 16-site clusters with detailed analysis performed for the 6-site cluster. We show that (a) for every cluster there is an inflection point in the double occupancy as a function of interaction, defining a Widom line that extends above the critical point of the first-order Mott transition; (b) the presence of this line and the cluster size dependence argue for the observability of the Mott transition at finite temperature in the thermodynamic limit; and (c) the loss of spectral weight in the metal-to-Mott-insulator transition as a function of temperature and for strong interactions is momentum dependent, the hallmark of a pseudogap. That pseudogap spans a large region of the phase diagram near the Mott transition.

Anisotropic pseudogap in the half-filling 2-d Hubbard model at finite T

Taiichirou Saikawa, Ferraz, A.

In the present approximation, we find a logarithmic singularity in the integrand of the imaginary part of the self-energy. Concerning the energy dependence of the spectral function and the self-energy, two theorems are proved. They give a necessary condition in the self-energy to produce the pseudogap at the Fermi level. The pseudogap in the spectral function is highly momentum dependent on the Fermi surface. It opens initially in the $(\pm π,0)$, $(0,\pm π)$ regions as the normal state pseudogap observed in the high-$T_c$ superconductors and if the interaction is increased, it spreads to other Fermi surface sectors. The anisotropy of the pseudogap is produced by the low-energy enhancement of the spin excitation around ${\bf Q}=(π,π)$ and the flatness of the band dispersion around the saddle point.

Dynamical mean-field study of the Mott transition in the half-filled Hubbard model on a triangular lattice

Karan Aryanpour, Warren E. Pickett, Richard T. Scalettar

We employ dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) with a quantum Monte Carlo atomic solver to investigate the finite-temperature Mott transition in the Hubbard model with nearest-neighbor hopping on a triangular lattice at half-filling. We estimate the value of the critical interaction to be ${U}_{c}=12.0\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.5$ in units of the hopping amplitude $t$ through the evolution of the magnetic moment, spectral function, internal energy, and specific heat as the interaction $U$ and temperature $T$ are varied. This work also presents a comparison between DMFT and finite-size determinant quantum Monte Carlo calculations and a discussion of the advantages and limitations of both methods.

Momentum-dependent pseudogaps in the half-filled two-dimensional Hubbard model

D. Rost, Elena V. Gorelik, Fakher F. Assaad +1 more

We compute unbiased spectral functions of the two-dimensional Hubbard model by extrapolating Green functions, obtained from determinantal quantum Monte Carlo simulations, to the thermodynamic and continuous time limits. Our results clearly resolve the pseudogap at weak to intermediate coupling, originating from a momentum selective opening of the charge gap. A characteristic pseudogap temperature ${T}^{*}$, determined consistently from the spectra and from the momentum dependence of the imaginary-time Green functions, is found to match the dynamical mean-field critical temperature, below which antiferromagnetic fluctuations become dominant. Our results identify a regime where pseudogap physics is within reach of experiments with cold fermions on optical lattices.
