Charge carrier correlation in the electron-doped t−J model

Abstract

We study the $t\text{\ensuremath{-}}{t}^{\ensuremath{'}}\text{\ensuremath{-}}{t}^{\ensuremath{''}}\text{\ensuremath{-}}J$ model with parameters chosen to model an electron-doped high-temperature superconductor. The model with one, two, and four charge carriers is solved on a 32-site lattice using exact diagonalization. Our results demonstrate that at doping levels up to $x=0.125$ the model possesses robust antiferromagnetic correlation. When doped with one charge carrier, the ground state has momenta $(\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}\ensuremath{\pi},0)$ and $(0,\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}\ensuremath{\pi})$. On further doping, charge carriers are unbound and the momentum distribution function can be constructed from that of the single-carrier ground state. The Fermi surface resembles that of small pockets at single-charge-carrier ground-state momenta, which is the expected result in a lightly doped antiferromagnet. This feature persists upon doping up to the largest doping level we achieved. We therefore do not observe the Fermi surface changing shape at doping levels up to 0.125.

Hole correlation and antiferromagnetic order in the t−J model

P. W. Leung

We study the $t\text{\ensuremath{-}}J$ model with four holes on a 32-site square lattice using exact diagonalization. This system corresponds to doping level $x=\frac{1}{8}$. At the ``realistic'' parameter $J∕t=0.3$, holes in the ground state of this system are unbound. They have short range repulsion due to the lowering of the kinetic energy. There is no antiferromagnetic spin order and the electron momentum distribution function resembles hole pockets. Furthermore, we show evidence that in case antiferromagnetic order exists, holes form $d$-wave bound pairs and there is mutual repulsion among hole pairs. This presumably will occur at low doping levels. This scenario is compatible with a checkerboard-type charge density state proposed to explain the ``$\frac{1}{8}$ anomaly'' in the lanthanum cuprate family, except that it is the ground state only when the system possesses strong antiferromagnetic order.

Asymmetry of the electronic states in hole- and electron-doped cuprates: Exact diagonalization study of the t-t′-t″-J model

Takami Tohyama

We systematically examine the asymmetry of the electronic states in the hole- and electron-doped cuprates by using a $t\text{\ensuremath{-}}J$ model with the second-neighbor hopping ${t}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ and third one ${t}^{\ensuremath{''}}$ (the $t\text{\ensuremath{-}}{t}^{\ensuremath{'}}\text{\ensuremath{-}}{t}^{\ensuremath{''}}\text{\ensuremath{-}}J$ model). Numerically exact diagonalization method is employed for a 20-site square lattice. We impose twisted boundary conditions (BC) instead of standard periodic BC. For static and dynamical correlation functions, averaging procedure over the twisted BC is used to reduce the finite-size effect. We find that antiferromagnetic spin correlation remains strong in electron doping in contrast to the case of hole doping, being similar to the case of the periodic BC. This leads to a remarkable electron-hole asymmetry in the dynamical spin structure factor and two-magnon Raman scattering. By changing the twist, the single-particle spectral function is obtained for all momenta in the Brillouin zone. Examining the spectral function in detail, we find a gap opening at around the $\mathbf{k}=(\ensuremath{\pi},0)$ region for 10% doping of holes (the carrier concentration $x=0.1$), leading to a Fermi arc that is consistent with experiments. In electron doping, however, a gap opens at around $\mathbf{k}=(\ensuremath{\pi}∕2,\ensuremath{\pi}∕2)$ and persists up to $x=0.2$, being correlated with the strength of the antiferromagnetic correlation. We find that the magnitude of the gaps is sensitive to ${t}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ and ${t}^{\ensuremath{''}}$. A pseudogap is also seen in the optical conductivity for electron doping, and its magnitude is found to be the same as that in the spectral function. We compare calculated quantities with corresponding experimental data, and discuss similarities and differences between them as well as their implications.

NUMERICAL STUDY OF HOLE CORRELATION IN THE t-J MODEL WITH FOUR HOLES ON A 32-SITE LATTICE

P. W. Leung

We solve the t-J model with four holes on a 32-site lattice using exact diagonalization. This is the largest scale calculation ever reported for this model. The size of the matrix involved in this problem is about 3×109 by 3×109. We find that at the realistic parameter J/t = 0.3, holes in the ground state of this system are unbound. They have short range repulsion due to lowering of kinetic energy. The electron momentum distribution function resembles hole pockets. We show that in case antiferromagnetic order is strong, holes form d-wave bound pairs and there is mutual repulsion among the holes. This presumably will occur at low doping level.

Doping dependence of the Fermi surface in thet-Jmodel

Stephan Haas

The evolution of the Fermi surface upon hole doping is studied in the t-J model of correlated electrons by exact diagonalization of chains and planes. In one dimension at low hole doping, the momentum distribution function n(k) indicates the presence of pocketlike features at the (noninteracting) Fermi momentum, while increasing the density of holes a large Fermi surface is observed. Although the results in two dimensions are consistent with this picture, conclusive evidence for the existence of hole pockets (at intermediate doping levels) cannot be provided in the present study of 4\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}4 and \ensuremath{\surd}18 \ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{} \ensuremath{\surd}18 square lattices. In order to improve the resolution in momentum space, twisted boundary conditions are used for the two-dimensional clusters.

Robust charge-density-wave correlations in the electron-doped single-band Hubbard model

Peizhi Mai, Nathan Nichols, Seher Karakuzu +4 more

There is growing evidence that the hole-doped single-band Hubbard and t - J models do not have a superconducting ground state reflective of the high-temperature cuprate superconductors but instead have striped spin- and charge-ordered ground states. Nevertheless, it is proposed that these models may still provide an effective low-energy model for electron-doped materials. Here we study the finite temperature spin and charge correlations in the electron-doped Hubbard model using quantum Monte Carlo dynamical cluster approximation calculations and contrast their behavior with those found on the hole-doped side of the phase diagram. We find evidence for a charge modulation with both checkerboard and unidirectional components decoupled from any spin-density modulations. These correlations are inconsistent with a weak-coupling description based on Fermi surface nesting, and their doping dependence agrees qualitatively with resonant inelastic x-ray scattering measurements. Our results provide evidence that the single-band Hubbard model describes the electron-doped cuprates.

Electronic states in the antiferromagnetic phase of electron-doped high- Tc cuprates

Takami Tohyama, Sadamichi Maekawa

We investigate the electronic states in the antiferromagnetic (AF) phase of electron-doped cuprates by using numerically exact diagonalization technique for a $t\ensuremath{-}{t}^{\ensuremath{'}}\ensuremath{-}{t}^{\ensuremath{''}}\ensuremath{-}J$ model. When AF correlation develops with decreasing temperature, a gaplike behavior emerges in the optical conductivity. Simultaneously, the coherent motion of carriers due to the same sublattice hoppings is enhanced. We propose that the phase is characterized as an AF state with small Fermi surface around the momentum $\mathbf{k}=(\ensuremath{\pi},0)$ and $(0,\ensuremath{\pi}).$ This is a remarkable contrast to the behavior of hole-doped cuprates.
