Mesoscopic BCS pairing in the repulsive one-dimensional Hubbard model

Abstract

We study mesoscopic pairing in the one-dimensional repulsive Hubbard model and its interplay with the BCS model in the canonical ensemble. The key tool is comparing the Bethe ansatz equations of the two models in the limit of small Coulomb repulsion. For the ordinary Hubbard interaction the BCS Bethe equations with infinite pairing coupling are recovered; a finite pairing is obtained by considering a further density-dependent phase-correlation in the hopping amplitude of the Hubbard model. We find that spin degrees of freedom in the Hubbard ground state are arranged in a state of the BCS type, where the Cooper pairs form a noncondensed liquid on a ``lattice'' of single particle energies provided by the Hubbard charge degrees of freedom; the condensation in the BCS ground state corresponds to Hubbard excitations constituted by a sea of spin singlets.

Thermodynamic Bethe-ansatz equations for the Hubbard chain with an attractive interaction

Kong-Ju-Bock Lee, P. Schlottmann

The thermodynamic Bethe-ansatz equations for the one-dimensional Hubbard model are derived for an attractive on-site interaction of the electrons, extending in this way Takahashi's result for the repulsive Hubbard chain. The results are discussed in several special limits, e.g., interaction much larger than the hopping, U\ensuremath{\rightarrow}0 case, and the high- and low-temperature limits. The dominating states at low temperatures consist of spin-paired electrons (resembling Cooper pairs) and bound states of such pairs. The excitation spectrum and its properties are discussed in the context of superconductivity and resonant valence bonds.

BOSE CONDENSATION AND ELECTRON PAIRING IN ONE-DIMENSIONAL HUBBARD MODEL

ARMEN N. KOCHARIAN, Chia‐Wei Yang, Y. L. Chiang

The ground-state properties in one-dimensional Hubbard model with on-site attraction and repulsion of electrons in the presence of magnetic field h are calculated by means of the exact Bethe-ansatz formalism and the generalized self-consistent field (GSCF) approach for general electron concentrations n and arbitrary interaction strength. The ground-state properties, including the energy, the average spin (magnetization) and the kinetic energy are compared over a wide range of parameter space. The GSCF theory is in qualitative and in some cases in good quantitative agreement with the exact results. The GSCF theory at U≤0 (or U≥0) differentiates the spin (or charge) energy gap from the BCS (or antiferromagnetic) order parameter and suggests a smooth crossover from the phase with the itinerant BCS-like behavior to the Bose condensation regime of the local pairs.

Gutzwiller-Type Projected BCS Ground States for Attractive Hubbard Model in Infinite Dimensions

Y. Y. Suzuki, Shinichi Saito, Susumu Kurihara

In order to develop our theoretical understanding of the superconducting state of strongly correlated electron systems, we investigate the many-body ground state of the attractive Hubbard model in infinite dimensions using the Gutzwiller-type projected BCS variational (GBCS) wave function. We first calculate various physical quantities by numerically evaluating analytical equations for systems in the thermodynamic limit. We then show that the GBCS wave function has the lowest energy when the gap parameter has a mixture of s wave and extended s wave pairing symmetry and that the ground state energy of the GBCS is lower than that of either the BCS or Fermi liquid at any electron density and any strength of the attractive interactions in our model. We also show that with infinite strength interactions, each pair of electrons with opposite spins forms a tightly bound pair on a lattice site (BEC-like state). We find a smooth crossover from a BCS-like state with large, overlapping Cooper pairs (for weakly attractive interactions) to a BEC-like state of composite bosons formed out of the tightly bound pairs of fermions (for strongly attractive interactions).

Superconductivity in the Hubbard model with pair hopping

S. Robaszkiewicz, Bogdan R. Bułka

The phase diagrams and superconducting properties of the extended Hubbard model with pair hopping interaction, i.e., the Penson-Kolb-Hubbard model are studied. The analysis of the model is performed for d-dimensional hypercubic lattices, including $d=1$ and $d=\ensuremath{\infty},$ by means of the (broken symmetry) Hartree-Fock approximations and, for $d=\ensuremath{\infty},$ by the slave-boson mean-field method. For $d=1,$ at half filling the phase diagram is shown to consist of nine different phases including two superconducting states with center-of-mass momentum $q=0$ and $q=Q$ $(\ensuremath{\eta}$ pairing), site and bond-located antiferromagnetic and charge-density wave states as well as three mixed phases with coexisting site and bond orderings. The stability range of the bond-type orderings shrinks with increasing lattice dimensionality d and for $d=\ensuremath{\infty}$ the corresponding diagram consists of four phases only, involving exclusively site-located orderings. Comparing the pair hopping model with the attractive Hubbard model we found in both cases gradual evolution from the BCS-like limit to the tightly bound pairs regime and a monotonic increase of the gap in the excitation spectrum with increasing coupling. However, the dynamics of electron pairs in both models is qualitatively different, which results in different dependences of condensation energies and critical temperatures on interaction parameters as well as in different electrodynamic properties, especially in a strong coupling regime.

Self-consistent and exact studies of pairing correlations and crossover in the one-dimensional attractive Hubbard model

ARMEN N. KOCHARIAN, Chia‐Wei Yang, Y. L. Chiang

Ground-state properties of the attractive Hubbard model in one dimension are studied by means of both the exact Bethe-ansatz formalism and the self-consistent field (SCF) approach with renormalized chemical potential for general band fillings n and a wide range of coupling strength $U/t.$ The energy, the concentration of double occupied sites, the kinetic energy and the chemical potential of the ground state are in a good numerical agreement with the exact results over a wide range of parameters $U/t$ and n. The concentration of local pairs or double occupied sites in the Bethe-ansatz solution serves as a suitable parameter measuring the electron pairing correlations. The SCF theory provides a simple analytical relationship between the concentration of double occupied sites, the band filling and the BCS order parameter, valid for arbitrary $U/t$ and n. The calculated energy gap, the BCS order parameter, the phase diagram and the compressibility are also discussed. The SCF theory in one dimension distinguishes the order parameter from the excitation gap and suggests a smooth crossover away from half-filling (at $n\ensuremath{\ne}1)$ from the BCS pairing to the Bose condensation regime under the variation of $U/t$ and n.

Superconducting ground state in a model with bond-charge interaction

Marco Airoldi, Alberto Parola

An electronic Hubbard-type model with bond-charge interaction and on-site repulsion U is studied in one and two dimensions. Evidence is provided in favor of superconductivity, without phase separation, for U${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{c}}$(n), although no explicit attraction between particles is present in the Hamiltonian. The presence of a bound state for two particles in vacuum in D=1 and 2 (but not for D=3) suggests that, at low density and low dimensionality, superconductivity is due to condensation of preexistent pairs (dimers). The one-dimensional (1D) phase diagram is studied analytically as well as numerically and shows a transiiton between a Luttinger liquid and a strong-coupling phase with diverging superconducting susceptibility. Estimates of critical exponents are given at low density and at quarter filling for several values of the parameters. The 2D model at quarter filling is analyzed by Lanczos diagonalization on a 4\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}4 cluster. The numerical results are consistent with the phase diagram obtained by BCS mean-field theory and is qualitatively similar to the 1D case: a ground state with spin gap and off-diagonal long-range order at U${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{c}}$(n); and a Fermi liquid above ${\mathit{U}}_{\mathit{c}}$ with no sign of phase separation.
