Optical conductivity of one-dimensional doped Hubbard-Mott insulator

Abstract

We study the optical response of a strongly correlated electron system near the metal-insulator transition using a mapping to the sine-Gordon model. With semiclassical quantization, the spectral weight is distributed between a Drude peak and absorption lines due to breathers. We calculate the Drude weight, the optical gap, and the line shape of breather absorption.

Photoinduced Metallic Properties of One-Dimensional Strongly Correlated Electron Systems

Nobuya Maeshima, Kenji Yonemitsu

We study photoinduced optical responses of one-dimensional strongly correlated electron systems. The optical conductivity spectra are calculated for the ground state and a photoexcited state in the one-dimensional Hubbard model at half filling by using the exact diagonalization method. It is found that, in the Mott insulator phase, the photoexcited state has large spectral weights including the Drude weight below the optical gap. As a consequence, the spectral weight above the optical gap is largely reduced. These results imply that a metallic state is induced by photoexcitation. Comparison between the photoexcited and hole-doped states shows that the photoexcitation is similar to chemical doping.

Charge Excitations in Doped Mott Insulator in One Dimension

Michiyasu Mori, Hidetoshi Fukuyama

The doped Mott insulator in one dimension has been studied based on the phase Hamiltonian with the Umklapp scattering process, in which the charge degree of freedom is described by the quantum sine-Gordon model. The well-known equivalence between the quantum sine-Gordon model and the massive Thirring model for the spinless fermion makes it clear that the Mott-Hubbard gap originates from the Umklapp scattering process as was indicated by Emery and Giamarchi. Compressibility, density-density correlation function, frequency dependence of optical conductivity and Drude weight have been calculated in the presence of the impurity scattering treated in the self-consistent Born approximation. It is seen that there exists a crossover behavior in the spectral weight of charge excitations: the acoustic mode is dominant in small wave number region while the optical excitations across the Mott-Hubbard gap lie in large wave number region and that this crossover wave number is reduced as the Mott transition is approached.

Optical conductivity of a Hubbard ring with an impurity

Schuster, Cosima, Brune, Philipp

We investigate the optical conductivity of a Hubbard ring in presence of an impurity by means of exact diagonalization using the Lanczos algorithm. We concentrate thereby on the first excited, open shell state, i.e. on twisted boundary conditions. In the metallic phase a substantial part of the spectral weight lies in the Drude peak, $σ(ω) = Dδ(ω)+ σ_{\rm reg}$. In the non-interacting system, the Drude peak can be visualized in our calculations at $ω= 0$ even for finite chain lengths. Adding the impurity, the main peak is shifted to finite frequencies proportional to the impurity strength. The shift indicates the energy gap of the disturbed finite size system, also in the interacting system. Thus, we can pursue in the optical conductivity for finite metallic systems the energy gap. However, due to level crossing, the impurity-induced peak arises in the interacting system first when a certain impurity strength is exceeded. In the Mott insulating phase, the impurity leads to an impurity state within the gap.

Transport Properties of the Infinite-Dimensional Hubbard Model

Thomas Pruschke, Daniel Lee Cox, Mark Jarrell

Results for the optical conductivity and resistivity of the Hubbard model in infinite spatial dimensions are presented. At half-filling we observe a gradual crossover from a metal with a Drude peak at ω = 0 in the optical conductivity to an insulator as a function of U for temperatures above the antiferromagnetic phase transition. When doped, the "insulator" becomes a Fermi liquid with a corresponding temperature dependence of the optical conductivity and resistivity. We find a T 2 -coefficient in the low-temperature resistivity which suggests that the carriers in the system acquire a considerable mass-enhancement due to the strong local correlations. At high temperatures, a crossover into a semi-metallic regime takes place.

Finite-Frequency Optical Absorption in 1D Conductors and Mott-Hubbard Insulators

J. M. P. Carmelo, Nuno M. R. Peres, Pedro D Sacramento

The frequency-dependent conductivity is studied for the one-dimensional Hubbard model, using a selection rule, the Bethe ansatz, and symmetries associated with conservation laws. For densities where the system is metallic the absorption spectrum has two contributions, a Drude peak at omega = 0 separated by a pseudogap from a broad absorption band whose lower edge is characterized by a nonclassical critical exponent. Our findings shed new light on the "far infrared puzzle" and other optical properties of metallic organic chain compounds.

Optical Conductivity of the Two-Dimensional Hubbard Model

Hiroki Nakano, Masatoshi Imada

Charge dynamics of the two-dimensional Hubbard model is investigated. Lancz$\ddot{\rm o}$s-diagonalization results for the optical conductivity and the Drude weight of this model are presented. Near the Mott transition, large incoherence below the upper-Hubbard band is obtained together with a remarkably suppressed Drude weight in two dimensions while the clearly coherent character is shown in one dimension. The two-dimensional results are consistent with previous results from quantum Monte Carlo calculations indicating that the Mott transition in this two-dimensional model belongs to the universality class characterized by the dynamical exponent of $z=4$.
