Abstract

An exact-diagonalization technique on small clusters is used to study low-lying excitations and superconductivity in the two-dimensional negative-$U$ Hubbard model. We first calculate the Bogoliubov-quasiparticle spectrum, condensation amplitude, and coherence length as functions of the coupling strength $U/t$, thereby working out how the picture of Bogoliubov quasiparticles in the BCS superconductors is affected by increasing the attraction. We then define the Cooper-pair operator as a spatially-extended composite boson and make a variational evaluation of its internal structure. We thereby calculate the single-particle spectral function of the Cooper pair and obtain the dispersion relation for its translational motion. The dynamical density correlation function of the pairs is also calculated. We thus demonstrate the applicability of our numerical method for gaining insight into low-lying excitations of models for the intermediate coupling superconductivity relevant to cuprate materials.

BCS–BEC Crossover in the Two-Dimensional Attractive Hubbard Model: Variational Cluster Approach

Tatsuya Kaneko, Yukinori Ohta

We use the variational cluster approximation to study the superconducting ground state in the two-dimensional attractive Hubbard model, putting particular emphasis on the significance of quantum fluctuations of the system. We first show that the order parameter is suppressed in comparison with that obtained using the mean-field theory owing to the effects of spatial fluctuations in two-dimensional systems. We then show that the calculated Bogoliubov quasiparticle spectra and condensation amplitude clearly exhibit the character of Cooper pairs in momentum space and that the pair coherence length $ξ$ evaluated from the condensation amplitude demonstrates a smooth crossover in real space from a weakly paired BCS state ($ξ\gg a$) to a BEC state of tightly bound pairs ($ξ\ll a$), where $a$ is the lattice constant. The calculated kinetic and potential energies in the superconducting and normal ground states indicate that the superconducting state in the weak-coupling region is driven by the gain in potential energy, while that in the strongcoupling region is driven by the gain in kinetic energy.

Bogoliubov-quasiparticle spectra of the effective d -wave model for cuprate superconductivity

Y. Ohta, Masaya Yamaguchi, R. Eder

An exact-diagonalization technique on finite-size clusters is used to study the ground state and excitation spectra of the two-dimensional effective-fermion model, a fictious model of hole quasiparticles derived from numerical studies of the two-dimensional $t\ensuremath{-}J$ model at low doping. We show that there is actually a reasonable range of parameter values where the ${d}_{{x}^{2}\ensuremath{-}{y}^{2}}$-wave pairing of holes occurs and the low-lying excitation can be described by the picture of Bogoliubov quasiparticles in the BCS pairing theory. The gap parameter of a size ${\ensuremath{\Delta}}_{d}\ensuremath{\simeq}0.13|V|$ (where $V$ is the attractive interaction between holes) is estimated at low doping levels. The paired state gives way to the state of clustering of holes for some stronger attractions.

Collective excitations and the crossover from Cooper pairs to composite bosons in the attractive Hubbard model

Lotfi Belkhir, Mohit Randeria

Motivated by the short coherence length of the high-temperature superconductors, we study in the negative-U Hubbard model the crossover from Cooper pairs for U\ensuremath{\ll}t to composite bosons for U\ensuremath{\gg}t. We compute the collective-mode spectrum using a generalized random-phase-approximation analysis within the equations-of-motion formalism. We find a smooth evolution of the Anderson mode for weak coupling into the Bogoliubov sound mode for hard-core bosons.

Ground-state and excitation spectra of the negative-UHubbard model

Horacio E. Castillo, C. A. Balseiro

We study the negative-U Hubbard model by exact diagonalization of a 4\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}4 cluster with different numbers of particles. We calculate the ground-state energy and wave function as well as the one-particle, charge- and spin-excitation spectra. We show that the BCS approximation gives results in good agreement with the exact ones for the ground-state energy and wave function in the whole range of U. In the one-particle excitation spectrum the BCS dispersion relation gives the position of the most intense peaks of the exact calculation. Lower-energy (quasiparticle) excitations, which are interpreted as strongly dressed Bogoliubov quasiparticles, also appear. The occurrence of pair-breaking and collective excitations in the charge- and spin-excitation spectra and the interplay between one-particle and collective modes are discussed.

Crossover from Cooper pairs to composite bosons: A generalized RPA analysis of collective excitations

Lotfi Belkhir, Mohit Randeria

We study the evolution of the ground state and the excitation spectrum of the two- and three-dimensional attractive (negative-U) Hubbard model as the system evolves from a Cooper-pair regime for U\ensuremath{\ll}t, to a composite boson regime for U\ensuremath{\gg}t. Our work is motivated by the observation that the high-temperature superconductors, with their short coherence lengths and unusual normal-state properties, may be in an intermediate coupling regime between these two limits. A mean-field analysis of pairing, suitably generalized to account for a shift in the chemical potential, is known to be able to describe the ground-state crossover as a function of U/t. We compute the collective-mode spectrum using a generalized random-phase-approximation analysis within the equations-of-motion formalism. We find a smooth evolution of the Anderson mode for weak coupling into the Bogoliubov sound mode for hard-core bosons. We then include a long-range Coulomb interaction and show that it leads to a plasmon which again evolves smoothly from weak to strong coupling.
