Slave rotor theory of antiferromagnetic Hubbard model

Ki‐Seok Kim, Jung Hoon Han

Published May 10, 2006• 3 citations

Abstract

The slave-rotor mean-field theory of Florens and Georges is generalized to the antiferromagnetic phase of the Hubbard model. An effective action consisting of a spin rotor and a fermion is derived and the corresponding saddle-point action is analyzed. Zero-temperature phase diagram of the antiferromagnetic Hubbard model is presented. While the magnetic phase persists for all values of the Hubbard interaction U, the single-particle spectral function exhibits a crossover into an incoherent phase when the magnetic moment m (and the corresponding U values) lies within a certain window m_c < m < 1-m_c, indicating a possible deviation from the Hartree-Fock theory.

Slave spin theory of magnetic states in Hubbard model

Jiasheng Qian, Zhiguang Liao, Rong Yu

Magnetic properties of Hubbard model have been studied extensively. A theoretical description of these states, however, is not straight forward within conventional mean-field approach due to the electron correlation effects. Here we provide a slave spin theory of the magnetic states in the single band Hubbard model. By introducing an additional decomposition of the on-site Coulomb interaction in the magnetic channel in both the slave spin and the fermionic spinon sectors, we show a magnetic solution with renormalized quasiparticle spectral weight can be stabilized at both half-filling and finite doping. By comparing the energies of antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic states, we provide a ground-state phase diagram for generic electron filling. We further discuss possible generalization of the slave-spin method.

SU(2) slave-rotor theory of the attractive Hubbard model

Ki‐Seok Kim

Extending the U(1) slave-rotor representation\cite{FG_SRR} of the repulsive Hubbard model, we propose an SU(2) slave-rotor decomposition for the attractive Hubbard model, where the SU(2) slave-rotor variables represent order parameter fluctuations associated with superconductivity and charge density wave. This decomposition method allows us to modify the standard Hartree-Fock mean field theory by incorporating order parameter fluctuations on an equal footing. Deriving an effective SU(2) slave-rotor action from the attractive Hubbard model, and analyzing it at the mean field level, we demonstrate a second order phase transition driven by softening of the slave-rotor variables.

Néel order in the Hubbard model within a spin-charge rotating reference frame approach: Crossover from weak to strong coupling

T. A. Zaleski, T. K. Kopeć

The antiferromagnetic phase of two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) Hubbard model with nearest neighbor hopping is studied on a bipartite cubic lattice by means of the quantum $\mathrm{SU}(2)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}\mathrm{U}(1)$ rotor approach that yields a fully self-consistent treatment of the antiferromagnetic state that respects the symmetry properties of the model and satisfy the Mermin-Wagner theorem. The collective variables for charge and spin are isolated in the form of the space-time fluctuating U(1) phase field and rotating spin-quantization axis governed by the SU(2) symmetry, respectively. As a result interacting electrons appear as composite objects consisting of bare fermions with attached U(1) and SU(2) gauge fields. An effective action consisting of a spin-charge rotor and a fermionic field is derived as a function of the Coulomb repulsion $U$ and hopping parameter $t$. At zero temperature, our theory describes the evolution from a Slater $(U⪡t)$ to a Mott-Heisenberg $(U⪢t)$ antiferromagnet. The results for zero-temperature sublatice magnetization (2D) and finite temperature (3D) phase diagram of the antiferromagnetic Hubbard model as a function of the crossover parameter $U∕t$ are presented and the role of the spin Berry phase in the interaction driven crossover is analyzed.

Slave-spin approach to the strongly correlated systems

Mardani, Masoud, Mohammad-Sadegh Vaezi, Abolhassan Vaezi

In this paper, we develop a new type of slave particle method which is similar to the slave rotor model except that the quantum rotor is substituted by a spin one slave particle. The spin-one slave particle itself can be represented in terms of Schwinger bosons/fermions. This approach is more conveniently applicable to the strongly correlated Hamiltonians with on-site Hubbard interaction and resolves the limitations of using the slave rotor model as well as the Anderson-Zou slave particle technique. For instance, the mean-field parameters of the slave spin method do not vanish above the Mott transition and this approach is smoothly connected to the non-interacting limit. As an example, we study the phase diagram of the Kane-Mele-Hubbard model using our current approach. In the absence of the spin-orbit interaction, the Mott transition occurs at $U_c ~ 3 t_1$. Several aspects of the slave spin method, its gauge theory and various possible mean-field states associated with this approach have been discussed.

Self-consistent slave rotor mean-field theory for strongly correlated systems

Erhai Zhao, Arun Paramekanti

Building on the work by Florens and Georges [Phys. Rev. B 70, 035114 (2004)], we formulate and study a self-consistent slave rotor mean-field theory for strongly correlated systems. This approach views the electron, in the strong correlation regime, as a composite of a neutral spinon and a charged rotor field. We solve the coupled spinon-rotor model self-consistently using a cluster mean-field theory for the rotors and various Ans\"atze for the spinon ground state. We illustrate this approach with a number of examples relevant to ongoing experiments in strongly correlated electronic systems such as (i) the phase diagram of the isotropic triangular lattice organic Mott insulators, (ii) quasiparticle excitations and tunneling asymmetry in the weakly doped cuprate superconductors, and (iii) the cyclotron mass of carriers in commensurate spin-density wave and U(1) staggered flux (or $d$-density wave) normal states of the underdoped cuprates. We compare the estimated cyclotron mass with results from recent quantum oscillation experiments on ortho-II $\mathrm{Y}{\mathrm{Ba}}_{2}{\mathrm{Cu}}_{3}{\mathrm{O}}_{6.5}$ by Doiron-Leyraud et al. [Nature (London) 447, 565 (2007)] which appear to find Fermi pockets in the magnetic field induced normal state. We comment on the relation of this normal ground state to Fermi arcs seen in photoemission experiments above ${T}_{c}$. This slave rotor mean-field theory can be generalized to study inhomogeneous states and strongly interacting models relevant to ultracold atoms in optical lattices.

Slave boson study of the doped Hubbard model

Alberto Camjayi, Marcelo J. Rozenberg, R. Chitra

We use the Kotliar-Ruckenstein slave boson formalism to study the phase diagram of the doped antiferromagnetic Mott insulator at zero and finite temperatures. We obtain the commensurate magnetic phase diagram as a function of doping and temperature. At higher doping and temperatures we find a paramagnetic metallic phase. Reducing doping and temperature, we find antiferromagnetic phases with both metallic and insulating solutions. We calculate the electronic density of states in various regions of the phase diagram. We use our results for the electronic compressibility and magnetic susceptibility to analyze the stability of the various phases obtained within this mean field formalism. We find various parameter regimes where the method fails to provide physical solutions. We argue that those regions correspond to more exotic phases that cannot be described within the current mean field theory.
