Non-Fermi liquid in a truncated two-dimensional Fermi surface

Abstract

Using perturbation theory and the field theoretical renormalization group approach we consider a two-dimensional anisotropic truncated Fermi Surface (FS) with both flat and curved sectors which approximately simulates the ``cold'' and ``hot'' spots in the cuprate superconductors. We calculate the one-particle two-loop irreducible functions ${\ensuremath{\Gamma}}^{(2)}$ and ${\ensuremath{\Gamma}}^{(4)}$ as well as the spin, the charge and pairing response functions up to one-loop order. We find nontrivial infrared stable fixed points and we show that there are important effects produced by the mixing of the existing scattering channels in higher order of perturbation theory. Our results indicate that the ``cold'' spots are turned into a non-Fermi liquid with divergents $\ensuremath{\partial}{\ensuremath{\Sigma}}_{0}/\ensuremath{\partial}{p}_{0}$ and $\ensuremath{\partial}{\ensuremath{\Sigma}}_{0}/\ensuremath{\partial}\overline{p},$ a vanishing Z, and either a finite or zero ``Fermi velocity'' at the FS when the effects produced by the flat portions are taken into account.

MARGINAL FERMI LIQUID WITH A TWO-DIMENSIONAL PATCHED FERMI SURFACE

A. FERRAZ, T. SAIKAWA, Z. Y. WENG

We consider a model composed of Landau quasiparticle states with patched Fermi surfaces (FS) sandwiched by states with flat FS to simulate the "cold" spot regions in cuprates. We calculate the one-particle irreducible function and the self-energy up to two-loop order. Using renormalization group arguments, we show that in the forward scattering channel, the renormalized coupling constant is never infrared stable due to the flat FS sectors. Furthemore, we show that the self-energy scales with energy as Re ∑~ω ln ω as ω→0, and thus the Fermi liquid state within each FS patch is turned into a marginal Fermi liquid.

"Luttinger" and insulating spin liquids in two dimensions

Hermann Freire, Eberth de Almeida Correa, Ferraz, A.

In the present work, we implement an explicit two-loop renormalization of a two-dimensional flat Fermi surface (FS) in the framework of a field theoretical renormalization group approach (RG). In our scheme, we derive the RG equations for both the coupling functions and Fermi energy. In this way, we are able to probe the existence of spin-charge separation by showing that the low-energy sector of the system is in fact a non-Fermi liquid. In addition, associating the true interacting FS to the infrared stable (IR) fixed point of the Fermi energy, we demonstrate here that it either acquires a small curvature and behaves as a "Luttinger liquid" or it suffers a truncation in k-space depicting an insulating spin liquid.

Breakdown of the Fermi-liquid regime in the two-dimensional Hubbard model from a two-loop field-theoretical renormalization group approach

Hermann Freire, Eberth de Almeida Correa, Álvaro Antônio Bandeira Ferraz

We analyze the particle-hole symmetric two-dimensional Hubbard model on a square lattice starting from weak-to-moderate couplings by means of the field-theoretical renormalization group approach up to two-loop order. This method is essential in order to evaluate the effect of the momentum-resolved anomalous dimension $\ensuremath{\eta}(\mathbf{p})$ which arises in the normal phase of this model on the corresponding low-energy single-particle excitations. As a result, we find important indications pointing to the existence of a non-Fermi-liquid (NFL) regime at temperature $T\ensuremath{\rightarrow}0$ displaying a truncated Fermi surface (FS) for a doping range exactly in between the well-known antiferromagnetic insulating and the ${d}_{{x}^{2}\ensuremath{-}{y}^{2}}$-wave singlet superconducting phases. This NFL evolves as a function of doping into a correlated metal with a large FS before the ${d}_{{x}^{2}\ensuremath{-}{y}^{2}}$-wave pairing susceptibility finally produces the dominant instability in the low-energy limit.

Field-theoretical renormalization group for a flat two-dimensional Fermi surface

Hermann Freire, Eberth de Almeida Correa, Álvaro Antônio Bandeira Ferraz

We implement an explicit two-loop calculation of the coupling functions and the self-energy of interacting fermions with a two-dimensional flat Fermi surface in the framework of the field theoretical renormalization group (RG) approach. Throughout the calculation both the Fermi surface and the Fermi velocity are assumed to be fixed and unaffected by interactions. We show that in two dimensions, in a weak coupling regime, there is no significant change in the RG flow compared to the well-known one-loop results available in the literature. However, if we extrapolate the flow to a moderate coupling regime there are interesting new features associated with an anisotropic suppression of the quasiparticle weight $Z$ along the Fermi surface, and the vanishing of the renormalized coupling functions for several choices of the external momenta.

RENORMALIZATION GROUP OF A TWO-DIMENSIONAL PATCHED FERMI SURFACE

A. FERRAZ

Using the renormalization group we calculate the single particle Green's function G and the momentum occupation function [Formula: see text] for a quasiparticle in a two-dimensional Fermi Surface (FS) composed of four symmetric patches with both flat and curved arcs in [Formula: see text]-space. We show that G develops an anomalous dimension as a result of the vanishing of the quasiparticle weight at the FS. [Formula: see text] is a continuous function of [Formula: see text] with an infinite slope at FS for CU*2/(1 - CU*2) < 1. This result resembles a Luttinger liquid and indicates the breakdown of Fermi liquid theory in this regime.

Fermi surface renormalization in two spatial dimensions

Álvaro Antônio Bandeira Ferraz

We discuss the renormalization induced by interactions of a two-dimensional truncated Fermi surface (FS) model. Using a field-theoretical renormalization group method, we calculate the critical renormalized physical chemical potential μ R (μ/ω; U (ω)) which may take different values along the Fermi surface. We show that FS is strongly renormalized by interactions in two dimensions. As a result of that, FS can be further truncated in those k -space regions where non-trivial fixed points produce a smooth momentum distribution function in the vicinity of the Fermi surface.
