The extrapolation of small-cluster exact-diagonalization calculations is used to examine ferromagnetism in the one-dimensional Hubbard model with long-range and correlated hopping. It is found that the correlated hopping term stabilizes the ferromagnetic state for a wide range of electron interactions U and electron concentrations n. The critical value of the interaction strength Uc above which the ferromagnetic state becomes stable is calculated numerically and the ground-state phase diagram of the model is presented for physically the most interesting cases. 1 The Hubbard model has become, since its inception [1] in 1963, one of the most popular examples of a system of interacting electrons with short-range interactions. It has been used in the literature to study a great variety of many-body effects in metals, of which ferromagnetism, metal-insulator transitions, charge-density waves and superconductivity are the most common examples. Of all these cooperative phenomena the problem of ferromagnetism in the Hubbard model has the longest
The phase diagram of the Hubbard model in an external magnetic field is examined by extrapolation of small-cluster exact-diagonalization calculations. Using a general expression for the hopping matrix elements (tij ~ q|i-j|) the influence of long-range hopping (band asymmetry) on ferromagnetism in this model is studied. It is found that the long-range hopping (nonzero q) stabilizes ferromagnetism in an external magnetic field for n > 1. In the opposite limit n≤1 the fully polarized ferromagnetic state is generally suppressed with increasing q. The critical value of magnetic field h below which the ferromagnetic state becomes unstable is calculated numerically.
