Abstract

Using a recently developed perturbative approach, which considers Hubbard operators as fundamental excitations, we have performed electronic self-energy and spectral function calculations for the $t\text{\ensuremath{-}}J$ model on the square lattice. We have found that the spectral functions along the Fermi surface are isotropic, even close to the critical doping where the $d$ density wave phase occurs. Fermi liquid behavior with scattering rate $\ensuremath{\sim}{\ensuremath{\omega}}^{2}$ and a finite quasiparticle weight $Z$ was obtained. $Z$ decreases with decreasing doping taking low values for low doping. Results are compared with others obtained by analytical and numerical methods like the slave-boson and Lanczos diagonalization approaches, finding agreement. We discuss our results in the light of recent angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy experiments in cuprates.

$t-J$ model one-electron renormalizations: high energy features in photoemission experiments of high-$T_c$ cuprates

A. Greco

Recent angle-resolved photoemission experiments in hole doped cuprates reported new and interesting high energy features which may be useful for understanding the electronic properties of these materials. Using a perturbative approach, which allows the calculation of dynamical properties in the $t-J$ model, one-electron spectral properties were calculated. A strongly renormalized quasiparticle band near the Fermi surface and incoherent spectra at high energy were obtained. Among different current experimental interpretations, the obtained results are closer to the interpretation given by Pan {\it et al.}\cite{pan}. The self-energy shows large high energy contributions which are responsible for the incoherent structures showed by the spectral functions and the reduction of the quasiparticle weight and bandwidth. According to the calculation, collective charge fluctuations are the main source for the self-energy renormalizations. For testing if the obtained self-energy is compatible with transport measurement the resistivity versus temperature was estimated.

Spectral function of the two-dimensional large-Nt-Jmodel

Marilyn F. Bishop, Zane P. Gibbs, T. McMullen

Calculations of the one-electron spectral function of the $t\ensuremath{-}J$ model on a two-dimensional square lattice are described. A large-$\mathcal{N}$ generalization of the $t\ensuremath{-}J$ model is used to develop $1/\mathcal{N}$ expansions, and the $t\ensuremath{-}J$ model constraint is enforced by slave bosons. The saddle point about which the $1/\mathcal{N}$ expansion is carried out is chosen to be uniform in both space and time, and self-energies are calculated to next-to-leading order in $1/\mathcal{N}$ as in the work of Z. Wang et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 67, 2733 (1991)]. The results of computations of the one-electron electron spectral functions for wave vectors throughout the Brillouin zone are presented for several values of the exchange coupling $J/t$ and doping $\ensuremath{\delta}$. A sharp dispersive quasiparticle peak is found near the Fermi energy. Additional spectral weight occurs at lower frequencies, and this arises from features in the normal self-energy. These features are qualitatively similar to the self-energy obtained by Kampf and Schrieffer [Phys. Rev. B 41, 6399 (1990)] from a parametrized model of an electron coupled to antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations that leads to shadow band structure in the one-electron spectral function.

Evolution of Fermi-liquid behavior with doping in the Hubbard model: Influence of the band structure

Jungsoo Kim, Dermot Coffey

We calculate the single-particle Green's function for a contact interaction with nearest-neighbor hopping on a square lattice as a function of chemical potential $\ensuremath{\mu}.$ This allows us to investigate the dependence of the leading Fermi-liquid dependencies on the band structure as the Fermi surface evolves from a circle at $\ensuremath{\mu}\ensuremath{\sim}\ensuremath{-}4t$ to a square at $\ensuremath{\mu}=0.$ The form of the single-particle self-energy $\ensuremath{\Sigma}(\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{p},E)$ is determined by the density-density correlation function $\ensuremath{\chi}(\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{q},\ensuremath{\omega})$ which develops two peaks for $\ensuremath{\mu}\ensuremath{\gtrsim}\ensuremath{-}2.5t$ unlike the parabolic band case. Near half-filling, $\ensuremath{\chi}(\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{q},\ensuremath{\omega})$ becomes independent of $\ensuremath{\omega},$ one-dimensional behavior, at intermediate values of $\ensuremath{\omega},$ which leads to the one-dimensional behavior in $\ensuremath{\Sigma}(\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{p},E).$ However, with $\ensuremath{\mu}<~\ensuremath{-}0.1t$ there is no influence on the Fermi-liquid dependencies from the spin-density wave instability. We find that throughout the doping region $\ensuremath{\Sigma}(\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{p},E)$ remains qualitatively the same as for the isotropic Fermi surface with quantitative differences. The strong $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{p}$ and E dependence of the off-shell self-energy $\ensuremath{\Sigma}(p,E)$ found earlier for the parabolic band is recovered for $\ensuremath{\mu}\ensuremath{\lesssim}\ensuremath{-}t$ but deviates from this develop for $\ensuremath{\mu}\ensuremath{\gtrsim}\ensuremath{-}0.1t.$ The resonance peak width of the spectral function $A(\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{p}E),$ has a linear dependence in ${\ensuremath{\xi}}_{\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{p}}$ due to the E dependence of the imaginary part of $\ensuremath{\Sigma}(\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{p},E).$ We point out that an accurate detailed form for $\ensuremath{\Sigma}(\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{p},E)$ would be very difficult to recover from angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy data for the spectral density. Since the leading corrections are determined by the long wavelength particle-hole excitations, the results found here for the Hubbard model carry over to Hamiltonians with finite range interactions.

Quasipartice Spectra in the Hubbard Model

William H. Beere, James F. Annett

We examine the quasiparticle lifetime and spectral weight near the Fermi surface in the two-dimensional Hubbard model. We use the FLEX approximation to self-consistently generate the Matsubara Green's functions and then we analytically continue to the real axis to obtain the quasiparticle spectral functions. We compare the spectral functions found in the nearest neighbor hopping only Hubbard model with those found when second neighbor hopping is included. This separates the effects of nesting, the Van Hove singularity and the short-ranged antiferromagnetic correlations. The quasiparticle scattering rate is enhanced along the (0,pi) to (pi,pi) Brillouin zone diagonal. When the density is close to half-filling these 'hot-spots' lie on the Fermi surface and the scattering rate increases with decreasing temperature. For the next-nearest neighbor hopping scenario we observe a large range of doping where there is no antiferromagnetism but the scattering rate has a linear temperature dependence. On decreasing the interaction this non-Fermi liquid behavior is confined to doping levels where the Fermi energy lies near to the Van Hove singularity. We conclude that the 'hot-spots' are associated with the antiferromagnetic phase transition while the linear temperature dependence of the scattering rate is associated with the Van Hove singularity.

Role of dynamical non-double-occupancy excitations on the quasiparticle damping of the t−J model in the large- N limit

A. Foussats, A. Greco, Matías Bejas

One-electron self-energy in the $t\ensuremath{-}J$ model was computed using a recently developed large-$N$ method based on the path-integral representation for Hubbard operators. One of the main features of the self-energy is its strong asymmetry with respect to the Fermi level, showing the spectra mostly concentrated at high negative energy. This asymmetry is responsible for the existence of incoherent structures at high negative energy in the spectral functions. It is shown that dynamical non-double-occupancy excitations are relevant for the behavior of the self-energy. It is difficult to understand the asymmetry shown by the self-energy from weak-coupling treatments. We compare our results with others in recent literature. Finally, the possible relevance of our results for the recent high energy features observed in photoemission experiments is discussed.

Single-particle properties of a model for coexisting charge and spin quasicritical fluctuations coupled to electrons

S. Caprara, M. Sulpizi, Antonio Bianconi +2 more

We study the single-particle spectral properties of a model for coexisting antiferromagnetic and incommensurate charge-density-wave critical fluctuations coupled to electrons, which naturally arises in the context of the stripe-quantum-critical-point scenario for high-${T}_{c}$ superconducting materials. Within a perturbative approach, we show that the on-shell inverse scattering time deviates from the normal Fermi-liquid behavior near the points of the Fermi surface connected by the characteristic wave vectors of the critical fluctuations (hot spots). The anomalous behavior is stronger when the hot spots are located near singular points of the electronic spectrum. The violations to the normal Fermi-liquid behavior are associated with the transfer of spectral weight from the quasiparticle peak to incoherent shadow peaks, which produces an enhancement of incoherent spectral weight near the Fermi level. We use our results to discuss recent angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy experiments on Bi2212 near optimal doping.

ZZZ decreases with decreasing doping taking low values for low doping. Results are compared with others obtained by analytical and numerical methods like the slave-boson and Lanczos diagonalization approaches, finding agreement.
