Densities of states of the Falicov–Kimball model off half filling in infinite dimensions

Abstract

An approximate analytical scheme of the dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) is developed for the description of the electron (ion) lattice systems with Hubbard correlations within the asymmetric Hubbard model where the chemical potentials and electron transfer parameters depend on an electron spin (a sort of ions). Considering a complexity of the problem we test the approximation in the limiting case of the infinite-$U$ spinless Falicov--Kimball model. Despite the fact that the Falicov--Kimball model can be solved exactly within DMFT, the densities of states of localized particles have not been completely investigated off half filling. We use the approximation to obtain the spectra of localized particles for various particle concentrations (chemical potentials) and temperatures. The effect of a phase separation phenomenon on the spectral function is considered.

GREEN'S FUNCTIONS OF INFINITE-U ASYMMETRIC HUBBARD MODEL: FALICOV-KIMBALL LIMIT

Stasyuk, O. B. Hera

The asymmetric Hubbard model is used in investigating the lattice gas of the moving particles of two types.The model is considered within the dynamical mean-field method.The effective single-site problem is formulated in terms of the auxiliary Fermi-field.To solve the problem an approximate analytical method based on the irreducible Green's function technique is used.This approach is tested on the Falicov-Kimball limit (when the mobility of ions of either type is infinitesimally small) of the infinite-U case of the model considered.The dependence of chemical potentials on concentration is calculated using the one-particle Green's functions, and different approximations are compared with the exact results obtained thermodynamically.The densities of states of localized particles are obtained for different temperatures and particle concentrations.The phase transitions are investigated for the case of the Falicov-Kimball limit in different thermodynamic regimes.

Extended Falicov–Kimball model: Hartree–Fock vs DMFT approach

Konrad Jerzy Kapcia, Romuald Lemański, Marcin Jakub Zygmunt

In this work, we study the extended Falicov-Kimball model at half-filling within the Hartree-Fock approach (HFA) (for various crystal lattices) and compare the results obtained with the rigorous ones derived within the dynamical mean field theory (DMFT). The model describes a system, where electrons with spin-↓ are itinerant (with hopping amplitude t), whereas those with spin-↑ are localized. The particles interact via on-site U and intersite V density-density Coulomb interactions. We show that the HFA description of the ground state properties of the model is equivalent to the exact DMFT solution and provides a qualitatively correct picture also for a range of small temperatures. It does capture the discontinuous transition between ordered phases at U = 2V for small temperatures as well as correct features of the continuous order-disorder transition. However, the HFA predicts that the discontinuous boundary ends at the isolated-critical point (of the liquid-gas type) and it does not merge with the continuous boundary. This approach cannot also describe properly a change of order of the continuous transition for large V as well as various metal-insulator transitions found within the DMFT.

Effects of band filling in the Anderson-Falicov-Kimball model

Rubens D.B. Carvalho, M. A. Gusmão

In this work, we study the Anderson-Falicov-Kimball model within the dynamical mean field theory for the Bethe lattice, restricting our analysis to the nonmagnetic case. The one-particle density of states is obtained by both arithmetic and geometric averages over disorder, since only the latter can detect localization in the absence of an energy gap. Varying the strengths of Coulomb interaction and disorder at zero temperature, we construct phase diagrams for this model, where we distinguish spectral regions with localized states, with extended states, or with a correlation-induced gap. With this, we identify metal-insulator transitions driven by correlation and disorder, as well as the competition between these effects. This is done for various band fillings, since our main interest here is to study how the variation of the electron density affects the phase diagrams previously obtained for half-filling. The picture revealed by the density of states is further checked by evaluating the static and dynamic conductivities, including temperature effects.

Mass-imbalanced Hubbard model on a 2D square lattice

Amir Kaffashnia

The Hubbard model (HM) and the Falicov-Kimball model (FKM), which are two standard models of strongly correlated electrons, provide an interesting benchmark for the physics of locally correlated systems. We study the intermediate model, mass-imbalanced Hubbard model at half-filling on a 2D square lattice which connects continuously the HM to the FKM.We employ dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) and dynamical cluster approximation (DCA) using continuous-time auxiliary field method (CT-AUX) as self-consistent impurity solver to study the single particle spectral function and self-energy allowing us to map-out the phase diagram of the system. Solutions to the mass-imbalanced model cannot enforce paramagnetic self-consistency and therefore at low temperature result in paramagnetic (PM) to antiferromagnetic (AFM) transition. In addition, in the PM state and at finite temperature, we observed a spin dependent crossover from Fermi liquid (FL) regime to non-Fermi liquid (nFL) regime in which the FL regime is destroyed, monotonically, induced not only by the interaction but also by the mass imbalance. We present the results for small cluster DCA and explore its dependency on cluster size as well.

Falicov-Kimball model and its relation to the Hubbard model: Studies on clusters

Romuald L yżwa, Zbigniew Domański

Ground-state properties of the asymmetric Hubbard model are studied on one-dimensional clusters (rings) with N=6, 8, and 10 sites. The ground-state energy, correlation functions, and phase diagrams are determined for various sets of model parameters. Computations are performed both by exact diagonalization (for N=6) and by an approximate method by which correlation effects can be examined on larger clusters than exact diagonalization allows. In the limiting cases (one limit corresponds to the spinless Falicov-Kimball model and the other to the Hubbard model) our results agree quite well with those obtained analytically for infinite systems.

Numerical and analytical approaches to strongly correlated electron systems

C. Knecht

In this thesis we consider three different models for strongly correlated electrons, namely a multi-band Hubbard model as well as the spinless Falicov-Kimball model, both with a semi-elliptical density of states in the limit of infinite dimensions d, and the attractive Hubbard model on a square lattice in d=2.\n\nIn the first part, we study a two-band Hubbard model with unequal bandwidths and anisotropic Hund's rule coupling (J_z-model) in the limit of infinite dimensions within the dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT). Here, the DMFT impurity problem is solved with the use of quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations. Our main result is that the J_z-model describes the occurrence of an orbital-selective Mott transition (OSMT), in contrast to earlier findings. We investigate the model with a high-precision DMFT \nalgorithm, which was developed as part of this thesis and which supplements QMC with a high-frequency expansion of the self-energy.\nThe main advantage of this scheme is the extraordinary accuracy of the numerical solutions, which can be obtained already with moderate computational effort, so that studies of multi-orbital systems within the DMFT+QMC are strongly improved. We also found that a suitably defined\nFalicov-Kimball (FK) model exhibits an OSMT, revealing the close connection of the Falicov-Kimball physics to the J_z-model in the OSM phase.\n\nIn the second part of this thesis we study the attractive Hubbard model in two spatial dimensions within second-order self-consistent perturbation theory.\nThis model is considered on a square lattice at finite doping and at low temperatures. Our main result is that the predictions of first-order perturbation theory (Hartree-Fock approximation) are renormalized by a factor of the order of unity even at arbitrarily weak interaction (U->0). The \nrenormalization factor q can be evaluated as a function of the filling n for 0<n<1. In the limit n->0, the q-factor vanishes, signaling the divergence of self-consistent perturbation theory in this limit. Thus we present the first asymptotically exact results at weak-coupling for the negative-U Hubbard model in d=2 at finite doping.
