Nonresonant Raman response of inhomogeneous structures in the electron-doped t‐t′ Hubbard model

Abstract

We calculate the nonresonant Raman response, the single particle spectra and the charge-spin configuration for the electron-doped $t\text{\penalty1000-\hskip0pt}{t}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ Hubbard model using unrestricted Hartree-Fock calculations. We discuss the similarities and differences in the response of homogeneous versus inhomogeneous structures. Metallic antiferromagnetism dominates in a large region of the $U\text{\penalty1000-\hskip0pt}n$ phase diagram but at high values of the on-site interaction and for intermediate doping values inhomogeneous configurations are found with lower energy. This result is in contrast with the case of hole-doped cuprates where inhomogeneities are found already at very low doping. The inhomogeneities found are in-phase stripes compatible with inelastic neutron scattering experiments. They give an incoherent background in the Raman response. The ${B}_{2g}$ signal can show a quasiparticle component even when no Fermi surface is found in the nodal direction.

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.

Investigation of particle-hole asymmetry in the cuprates via electronic Raman scattering

Brian Moritz, Steven Johnston, Thomas Devereaux +7 more

In this paper we examine the effects of electron-hole asymmetry as a consequence of strong correlations on the electronic Raman scattering in the normal state of copper oxide high-temperature superconductors. Using determinant quantum Monte Carlo simulations of the single-band Hubbard model, we construct the electronic Raman response from single-particle Green's functions and explore the differences in the spectra for electron and hole doping away from half filling. The theoretical results are compared to new and existing Raman scattering experiments on hole-doped La${}_{2\ensuremath{-}x}$Sr${}_{x}$CuO${}_{4}$ and electron-doped Nd${}_{2\ensuremath{-}x}$Ce${}_{x}$CuO${}_{4}$. These findings suggest that the Hubbard model with fixed interaction strength qualitatively captures the doping and temperature dependence of the Raman spectra for both electron and hole doped systems, indicating that the Hubbard parameter $U$ does not need to be doping dependent to capture the essence of this asymmetry.

Anomalous low-doping phase of the Hubbard model

C. Gröber, R. Eder, Werner R. Hanke

We present results of a systematic quantum Monte Carlo study for the single-band Hubbard model. Thereby we evaluated single-particle spectra (PES and IPES), two-particle spectra (spin and density correlation functions), and the dynamical correlation function of suitably defined diagnostic operators, all as a function of temperature and hole doping. The results allow us to identify different physical regimes. Near half-filling we find an anomalous ``Hubbard-I phase,'' where the band structure is, up to some minor modifications, consistent with the Hubbard-I predictions. At lower temperatures, where the spin response becomes sharp, additional dispersionless ``bands'' emerge due to the dressing of electrons/holes with spin excitations. We present a simple phenomenological fit that reproduces the band structure of the insulator quantitatively. The Fermi surface volume in the low-doping phase, as derived from the single-particle spectral function, is not consistent with the Luttinger theorem, but qualitatively in agreement with the predictions of the Hubbard-I approximation. The anomalous phase extends up to a hole concentration of $\ensuremath{\approx}15%,$ i.e., the underdoped region in the phase diagram of high-${T}_{c}$ superconductors. We also investigate the nature of the magnetic ordering transition in the single-particle spectra. We show that the transition to a spin-density wave-like band structure is not accomplished by the formation of any resolvable ``precursor bands,'' but rather by a (spectroscopically invisible) band of spin-3/2 quasiparticles. We discuss implications for the ``remnant Fermi surface'' in insulating cuprate compounds and the shadow bands in the doped materials.

Random-phase-approximation approach to collective modes around inhomogeneous Hartree-Fock states: One-dimensional doped Hubbard model

Kenji Yonemitsu, I. Batistić, A. R. Bishop

All the linear excitations are calculated in the random-phase approximation around a doped inhomogeneous Hartree-Fock state as well as the undoped uniform antiferromagnetic state in the one-dimensional Hubbard model. Upon doping, shape modes appear, localized around an introduced hole, as well as some ``shake-off'' branches related to combinations of local and extended Hartree-Fock orbitals. These modes are in addition to spin wave and ultragap branches in the pure antiferromagnetic state. Some characteristics of the shape modes are similar to bare processes in the t-t'-J model derived from the Hubbard model at strong coupling. Spectral weights in different susceptibility channels are calculated and shown to have peaks in low-energy regions, arising from specific shape modes.

Nonlocal Excitation Spectra in Two-Dimensional Doped Hubbard Model

Yoshiro Kakehashi, Peter Fulde

Single-particle excitation spectra of the two-dimensional Hubbard model on the square lattice near half filling and at zero temperature are investigated on the basis of the self-consistent projection operator method. The method guarantees a high accuracy of the spectra with high energy and high momentum resolutions. It takes into account long-range intersite correlations as well as the strong on-site correlations. Effects of nonlocal excitations are clarified by comparing the results with those of the single-site approximation. The calculated spectra verify the quantum Monte-Carlo results for finite temperatures. The spectra at the Fermi level yield a hole-like Fermi surface in the underdoped region and an electron-like Fermi surface in the overdoped region. From a numerical analysis of the momentum dependent effective mass and self-energy, it is concluded that a marginal Fermi-liquid like state persists even at finite doping concentrations in the strongly correlated region because a van Hove singularity is pinned to the Fermi surface. It is also found that a kink structure appears in the quasiparticle energy band in the same region. The kink is shown to be caused by a mixing between the quasiparticle band and an excitation band with strong short-range antiferromagnetic correlations. These results suggest an explanation for some of the unusual properties of the normal state in high-$T_{\rm c}$ cuprates.

Doping evolution of spin and charge excitations in the Hubbard model

Y. F. Kung, Elizabeth Nowadnick, Chunjing Jia +4 more

To shed light on how electronic correlations vary across the phase diagram of the cuprate superconductors, we examine the doping evolution of spin and charge excitations in the single-band Hubbard model using determinant quantum Monte Carlo (DQMC). In the single-particle response, we observe that the effects of correlations weaken rapidly with doping, such that one may expect the random phase approximation (RPA) to provide an adequate description of the two-particle response. In contrast, when compared to RPA, we find that significant residual correlations in the two-particle excitations persist up to 40% hole and 15% electron doping (the range of dopings achieved in the cuprates). These fundamental differences between the doping evolution of single- and multiparticle renormalizations show that conclusions drawn from single-particle processes cannot necessarily be applied to multiparticle excitations. Eventually, the system smoothly transitions via a momentum-dependent crossover into a weakly correlated metallic state where the spin and charge excitation spectra exhibit similar behavior and where RPA provides an adequate description.
