Possible exotic phases in the one-dimensional extended Hubbard model

Rudolf Torsten Clay, Anders W. Sandvik, David K Campbell

We investigate numerically the ground state phase diagram of the one-dimensional extended Hubbard model, including an on-site interaction U and a nearest-neighbor interaction V. We focus on the ground state phases of the model in the $V\ensuremath{\gg}U$ region, where previous studies have suggested the possibility of dominant superconducting pairing fluctuations before the system phase separates at a critical value ${V=V}_{\mathrm{PS}}.$ Using quantum Monte Carlo methods on lattices much larger than in previous Lancz\"os diagonalization studies, we determine the boundary of phase separation, the Luttinger-liquid correlation exponent ${K}_{\ensuremath{\rho}},$ and other correlation functions in this region. We find that phase separation occurs for V significantly smaller than previously reported. In addition, for negative U, we find that a uniform state reenters from phase separation as the electron density is increased towards half filling. For $V<{V}_{\mathrm{PS}},$ our results show that superconducting fluctuations are not dominant. The system behaves asymptotically as a Luttinger liquid with ${K}_{\ensuremath{\rho}}<1,$ but we also find strong low-energy (but gapped) charge-density fluctuations at a momentum not expected for a standard Luttinger liquid.We investigate numerically the ground state phase diagram of the one-dimensional extended Hubbard model, including an on-site interaction U and a nearest-neighbor interaction V.

Pairing fluctuations in a one-dimensional copper oxide model

Ellen B. Stechel, Asle Sudbø, Thierry Giamarchi +1 more

The exact ground-state energy ${\mathit{E}}_{0}$ (\ensuremath{\Phi}) is calculated for a one-dimensional copper-oxide model defined on a ring of finite length L, threaded by an external flux \ensuremath{\Phi}. It includes on-site and nearest-neighbor intersite Coulomb repulsion V, as well as a nonzero bare ``oxide'' gap ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}}_{0}$ between the orbitals in the unit cell. The correlation exponent ${\mathit{K}}_{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\rho}}}$ of the corresponding low-energy Hamiltonian shows that singlet (extended s-wave) superconductivity has the most rapidly diverging susceptibility as T\ensuremath{\rightarrow}0 (${\mathit{K}}_{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\rho}}}$>1). This superconducting phase is located close to a phase-separation instability of the model, indicated by ${\mathit{K}}_{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\rho}}}$\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty}. Longer range of the Coulomb interaction tends to frustrate phase separation, enhances the range of V for which ${\mathit{K}}_{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\rho}}}$>1, and slightly broadens the regime of V where 1${\mathit{K}}_{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\rho}}}$\ensuremath{\infty}.The exact ground-state energy ${\mathit{E}}_{0}$(\ensuremath{\Phi}) is calculated for a one-dimensional copper-oxide model defined on a ring of finite length L, threaded by an external flux \ensuremath{\Phi}.

Superconductivity and spin gap in the high-doping regime of a CuO chain model

Anders W. Sandvik, Asle Sudbø

A two-band Hubbard model describing a CuO chain is studied using quantum Monte Carlo simulation. The Luttinger-liquid exponent K ρ is extracted as a function of the nearest-neighbor repulsion V , at hole fillings ⟨ n ⟩ between 1 (half-filled lower band) and 2. Evidence is presented for the existence of a regime with dominant singlet superconducting fluctuations and a gap in the spin excitation spectrum at ⟨ n ⟩ = 1.75, in the neighborhood of the V for which the system phase separates. Closer to half-filling (⟨ n ⟩≲1.6), spin-density-wave fluctuations always dominate.A two-band Hubbard model describing a CuO chain is studied using quantum Monte Carlo simulation.

Phase diagram of the one-dimensionalt-Jmodel

Masao Ogata, Marco U. Luchini, Sandro Sorella +1 more

The phase diagram of the one-dimensional t-J model is investigated by analyzing the results of exact diagonalization and the exact solutions at J/t=0 and 2. Phase separation takes place above a critical value of J around ${\mathit{J}}_{\mathit{c}}$ /t=2.5--3.5 depending on the electron density. In the small-J region, Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid theory holds and its correlation exponents are calculated as a function of J/t and the electron density. Superconducting correlations become dominant in a region between the solvable case (J/t=2) and phase separation. A spin-gap region is also found at low density.The phase diagram of the one-dimensional t-J model is investigated by analyzing the results of exact diagonalization and the exact solutions at J/t=0 and 2.
