Rotationally invariant approximation for the two-dimensional t−J model

Abstract

Using the description in terms of the Hubbard operators hole and spin Green's functions of the two-dimensional $t\ensuremath{-}J$ model are calculated in an approximation that retains the rotation symmetry of the spin susceptibility in the paramagnetic state and has no predefined magnetic ordering. In this approximation, Green's functions are represented by continued fractions that are interrupted with the help of the decoupling corrected by the constraint of zero site magnetization in the paramagnetic state. Results obtained in this approach for an undoped $32\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}32$ lattice (the Heisenberg model) and for one hole in a $4\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}4$ lattice are in good agreement with Monte Carlo and exact-diagonalization data, respectively. In the limit of heavy doping the hole spectrum described by the obtained formulas acquires features of the spectrum of weakly correlated excitations.

Spin excitations and thermodynamics of the t-J model on the honeycomb lattice

Vladimirov, A., Ihle, D., Plakida, N.

We present a spin-rotation-invariant Green-function theory for the dynamic spin susceptibility in the spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic t-J Heisenberg model on the honeycomb lattice. Employing a generalized mean-field approximation for arbitrary temperatures and hole dopings, the electronic spectrum of excitations, the spin-excitation spectrum and thermodynamic quantities (two-spin correlation functions, staggered magnetization, magnetic susceptibility, correlation length) are calculated by solving a coupled system of self-consistency equations for the correlation functions. The temperature and doping dependence of the magnetic (uniform static) susceptibility is ascribed to antiferromagnetic short-range order. Our results on the doping dependencies of the magnetization and susceptibility are analyzed in comparison with previous results for the t-J model on the square lattice.

Loop-expansion study of the single-hole spectral function in thet-Jmodel

Zhiping Liu, Efstratios Manousakis

We consider a single hole in the t-J model where the Heisenberg and the hole-hopping terms are expanded in powers of the spin-deviation operators. The lowest order corresponds to the linear spin-wave approximation and leads to an effective Hamiltonian studied earlier by means of self-consistent perturbation theory. In this work we shall include all terms generating up to two-loop diagrams in the perturbative expansion of the single-hole Green's function. The hard-core constraints are partially respected and the overall effect gives a renormalization factor of 1.158 to the hopping parameter t. The vertex that describes the process where a spin wave is absorbed and emitted at the same time by the hole is far more important than others. We find that the numerical solutions of Dyson's equation including all two-loop diagrams lower considerably the single-hole ground-state energies over the previous one-loop results and our results on the 4\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}4 lattice are in better agreement with those obtained by exact diagonalization in the physical regime (small J/t). Our method can provide numerical solutions to the hole Green's function on very large lattices. We find that with the inclusion of the two-loop diagrams the spectral function retains all its features found in the one-loop calculation and the bandwidth, the quasiparticle residues, and the ``string'' excitations feel very small corrections.

Dynamical properties of a hole in a Heisenberg antiferromagnet

Zhiping Liu, Efstratios Manousakis

The t-J model in the large-t/J and low-doping limit is approximated by an effective Hamiltonian that treats spin degrees of freedom within the linear-spin-wave approximation and the hole-hopping term with a hole-spin interaction vertex that is linear in the spin-wave operators. The Dyson's equation for the single-hole Green's function is solved numerically on finite- but sufficiently large-size square lattices. Our calculation is based on an approximate equation for the hole motion that has been obtained using a self-consistent perturbation approach where crossing diagrams are neglected. We have studied the contribution of vertex corrections and found that the leading two-loop crossing diagram is exactly zero. Thus, the leading nonzero contribution to the proper self-energy from crossing diagrams is a three-loop correction. In two dimensions, it is possible to solve Dyson's equation numerically including these three-loop corrections. The results demonstrate that the contribution of such vertex corrections is indeed small. Our solution for the hole spectral function, obtained by neglecting such small contributions from vertex corrections, shows that most features describing the hole motion are in close agreement with the results of the exact diagonalization on the ${4}^{2}$ lattice in the region of J/t\ensuremath{\le}0.2. The results obtained on sufficiently large-size lattices suggest that certain important features of the spectral function remain while others change due to finite-size effects. In particular, we find well-defined peaks above the lowest-energy peak that survive in the thermodynamic limit. We analyze these higher-energy peaks of the spectral functions and find that they can be understood as ``string'' excitations, which are created by the hole moving in a nearly linear potential.

Dynamic spin susceptibility in the t−J model

Artem Vladimirov, Dieter Ihle, Nikolay M. Plakida

A relaxation-function theory for the dynamic spin susceptibility in the $t\text{\ensuremath{-}}J$ model is presented. By a sum-rule-conserving generalized mean-field approximation (GMFA), the two-spin correlation functions of arbitrary range, the staggered magnetization, the uniform static susceptibility, and the antiferromagnetic correlation length are calculated in a wide region of hole doping and temperatures. A good agreement with available exact diagonalization (ED) data is found. The correlation length is in reasonable agreement with neutron-scattering experiments on ${\text{La}}_{2\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\delta}}{\text{Sr}}_{\ensuremath{\delta}}{\text{CuO}}_{4}$. Going beyond the GMFA, the self-energy is calculated in the mode-coupling approximation. The spin dynamics at arbitrary frequencies and wave vectors is studied for various temperatures and hole doping. At low doping a spin-wave-type behavior is found as in the Heisenberg model, while at higher doping a strong damping caused by hole hopping occurs, and a relaxation-type spin dynamics is observed in agreement with the ED results. The local spin susceptibility and its $\ensuremath{\omega}/T$ scaling behavior are calculated in a reasonable agreement with experimental and ED data.

Strongly correlated electronic systems with one hole: Dynamical properties

Elbio R. Dagotto, Robert Joynt, Adriana Moreo +2 more

The spectral functions of one hole in the t-J and one-band Hubbard models are calculated using exact diagonalization techniques on small lattices. Results for the t-${\mathit{J}}_{\mathit{z}}$ model are also presented. For the t-J model we found that there is a quasiparticle at the bottom of the hole spectrum with an energy well approximated by ${\mathit{E}}_{\mathit{h}}$=-3.17+2.83${\mathit{J}}^{0.73}$ (for 0.1\ensuremath{\le}J\ensuremath{\le}1.0, t=1) on a 4\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}4 lattice. The rest of the spectrum is not incoherent: We identified at least two other peaks following a similar power-law behavior with J. We speculate that the J dependence of the results can be explained by a model where the hole is trapped in a confining potential as in the Ising limit. The bandwidth of the hole is linear in J in the region 0.1\ensuremath{\le}J\ensuremath{\le}0.4 although a power-law behavior is not excluded. The spectral weight of the quasiparticle grows like ${\mathit{J}}^{0.5}$ in the same region. We present new analytical results in the large J/t limit to understand the motion of the hole: In perturbation theory it can be shown that the momentum of the hole at large J/t is k=(\ensuremath{\pi},\ensuremath{\pi}) changing to k=(\ensuremath{\pi}/2,\ensuremath{\pi}/2) at intermediate J/t in agreement with numerical and spin-waves results. We show analytically and numerically that the bandwidth of the quasiparticle is of order t in the large J/t limit. This result corresponds to a spin-liquid state. The one-hole spectral function of the Hubbard model is obtained for lattices with 8 and 10 sites. A quasiparticle is also observed in this case. The bandwidth and the relation with the t-J model are discussed and a comparison with recent Monte Carlo results is made. We also review and extend previous results for the ground-state properties of the t-J model.
