Failure of Fermi-Liquid Theory at Strong Coupling

Published Dec 8, 1995• 0 citations

Abstract

We investigate quantitatively the effects of strong electron-electron coupling onto the dynamics of lattice electrons. To that purpose the self-consistent version of the bubble-chain approximation at zero temperature and half filling of the Anderson (Hubbard) model is used. Special attention is paid to a critical region of an electron-hole correlation function shaping the transition from weak to strong interaction. We find an analytic solution with Fermi-liquid properties on the weak-coupling side of the critical region around the two-particle pole. It is shown that Fermi-liquid theory does not lead to a consistent behavior of the self-consistent solution on the strong-coupling side of the critical region.

Non-Fermi Liquid Behavior in the Three-Dimensional Hubbard Model

Samuel Kellar, Ka-Ming Tam, Juana Moreno

We present a numerical study on the non-Fermi liquid behavior of a three-dimensional strongly correlated system. The Hubbard model in a simple cubic lattice is simulated by the dynamical cluster approximation; in particular, the quasi-particle weight is calculated at finite dopings for a range of temperatures. By fitting the quasi-particle weight to the marginal Fermi liquid form at finite doping near the putative quantum critical point, we find evidence of a separatrix between Fermi liquid and non-Fermi liquid regions. Our results suggest that a marginal Fermi liquid and possibly a quantum critical point exist in the non-symmetry broken solution of the three-dimensional interacting electron systems. We also calculate the spectral function, close to the half-filling, and we obtain evidence of pseudogap.

Non-Fermi-liquid behaviour in the weak-coupling approach to correlated fermions

Gudrun Schliecker, K -D Schotte, Berislav Horvatić +1 more

It has become easy to calculate numerically self-energy corrections in second-order perturbation theory. In order to find out its capabilities and limitations, we analyse the weak-coupling approach for a system of one-dimensional correlated fermions. We compare the self-energy contributions due to different scattering processes of left- and right-moving particles which can be treated analytically. We find that for Tomonaga-Luttinger processes second-order perturbation theory gives reliable results and show how deviations from Fermi-liquid behaviour and the separation of spin- and charge-density excitations can be detected from the numerical data. Choosing the Hubbard model as a typical example we present numerical results for the self-energy and the spectral density. Special attention is paid to the case without particle-hole symmetry. The insulating behaviour at half filling is outside the scope of the weak-coupling method applied.

Dynamical Mean-Field Theory for Pairing and Spin Gap in the Attractive Hubbard Model

M. Keller, Walter Metzner, Ulrich Schollwöck

We solve the attractive Hubbard model for arbitrary interaction strengths within dynamical mean-field theory. We compute the transition temperature for superconductivity and analyze electron pairing in the normal phase. The normal state is a Fermi liquid at weak coupling and a non-Fermi-liquid state with a spin gap at strong coupling. Away from half filling, the quasiparticle weight vanishes discontinuously at the transition between the two normal states.

Marginal Fermi liquid in a lattice of three-body bound states

A. F. Ho, Piers Coleman

We study a lattice model for marginal Fermi-liquid behavior, involving a gas of electrons coupled to a dense lattice of three-body bound states. The presence of the bound states changes the phase space for electron-electron scattering and induces a marginal self-energy among the electron gas. When the three-body bound states are weakly coupled to the electron gas, there is a substantial window for marginal Fermi-liquid behavior and in this regime, the model displays the presence of two relaxation times, one linear, one quadratic in the temperature. At low temperatures the bound states develop coherence, leading to a crossover to conventional Fermi-liquid behavior. At strong coupling, marginal Fermi-liquid behavior is preempted by a pairing or magnetic instability, and it is not possible to produce a linear scattering rate comparable with the temperature. We discuss the low-temperature instabilities of this model and compare it to the Hubbard model at half filling.

The metal-insulator transition and Fermi-liquid behaviour in the infinite-dimensional Hubbard model

S. Wermbter, G. Czycholl

We study the Hubbard model in dimension d= infinity , within an approximation that simultaneously reproduces the atomic limit and the weak-coupling limit up to second order in the interaction strength U. This method, which is a slightly modified version of an approximation suggested by Edwards and Hertz, is applied to the calculation of the self-energy and of the spectral function in the paramagnetic regime for different U, band fillings n, and temperatures T. We find Fermi-liquid behaviour for small U and (for half-filling n=0.5) a metal-insulator (Mott) transition at a critical value U cr , but also a metallic non-Fermi-liquid phase for intermediate values U<U cr . We compare our results with results obtained within the second-order perturbation theory in U and (at finite temperature) with the (essentially exact) quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) results. Qualitatively, the approximation reproduces the correct tendencies obtained by QMC, but in detail there are still discrepancies, in particular for intermediate values of U.
