Non-Fermi-liquid behavior due to short-range order

Abstract

An exactly soluble one-dimensional model of electrons interacting with order-parameter fluctuations associated with short-range order is considered. The energy and momentum dependence of the electronic self-energy and spectral function are calculated and found to exhibit non-Fermi-liquid features similar to that seen for the two-dimensional Hubbard model: a pseudogap, shadow bands, anomalies in the self-energy, and breakdown of the quasiparticle picture. Deviations from Fermi-liquid behavior are largest close to the Fermi surface and as the correlation length increases.

Anomalous Self-Energy Features in the 2D Hubbard Model

Adolfo Avella, Francesco Paolo Mancini

The electronic self-energy of the two-dimensional Hubbard model, computed in the non-crossing approximation within the composite operator method, is studied as a function of frequency as well as temperature at the Fermi surface, for a value of doping at which the pseudogap is already well developed.For values of momentum belonging to the phantom arc of the Fermi surface, both dependences show anomalous power law behavior in contrast to that expected from the Fermi liquid theory.

ANISOTROPIC PSEUDOGAP IN THE HALF-FILLING TWO-DIMENSIONAL HUBBARD MODEL AT FINITE TEMPERATURE

Taiichiro Saikawa, Álvaro Antônio Bandeira Ferraz

We have studied the pseudogap formation in the single-particle spectra of the half-filling two-dimensional Hubbard model. Using a Green's function with the one-loop self-energy correction of the spin and charge fluctuations, we have numerically calculated the self-energy, the spectral function, and the density of states in the weak-coupling regime at finite temperatures. Pseudogap formations have been observed in both the density of states and the spectral function at the Fermi level. The pseudogap in the spectral function is explained by the non-Fermi-liquid-like nature of the self-energy. The anomalous behavior in the self-energy is caused by both the strong antiferromagnetic spin fluctuation and the nesting condition on the non-interacting Fermi surface. In the present approximation, we find a logarithmic singularity in the integrand of the self-energy imaginary part. The pseudogap in the spectral function is highly momentum dependent on the Fermi surface. This anisotropy of the pseudogap is produced by the flatness of the band dispersion around the saddle point rather than the nesting condition on the Fermi level.

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.

Spectral properties of the two-dimensional Hubbard model

V. Zlatić, K. D. Schotte, Gudrun Schliecker

The self-energy of the hole-doped two-dimensional (2D) Hubbard model is calculated to second order in the interaction U and the ensuing renormalization of the spectral properties and of the Fermi surface is discussed. In uncorrelated systems the square-shaped Fermi surface separates the Fermi surface closed around the \ensuremath{\Gamma} point (with more holes than particles) from the Fermi surface closed around the Z point (with more particles than holes). In a correlated system a topological change from a Fermi surface centered around the \ensuremath{\Gamma} point to a Fermi surface closed around a Z point is induced, either by increasing the interaction or by diminishing the concentration of holes. The shape of the renormalized spectral function ${\mathit{A}}_{\mathbf{p}}$(\ensuremath{\omega}) is momentum dependent. Using ${\mathit{A}}_{\mathbf{p}}$(\ensuremath{\omega}) we evaluate dispersion of single-particle excitations. At low energies the band of quasiparticles with reduced bandwidth is clearly seen. At high energies and far away from the Fermi surface the spectra acquire an additional peak that describes excitations in the Hubbard band. The dispersion in Hubbard bands is weaker along the \ensuremath{\Gamma}-Z, than \ensuremath{\Gamma}-X or X-Z direction. The density of states of a correlated system, as given by the perturbation theory, remains logarithmically singular but the singular weight is reduced with respect to the uncorrelated one. In addition, the correlations transfer the spectral weight out of the low-energy region, where only a narrow Kondo-like structure seems to remain. The spectral properties of the 2D Hubbard model obtained by the truncated perturbation expansion resemble in many ways the recent experimental data on metallic cuprates.

Non-Fermi liquid behavior in a simple model of Fermi arcs and pseudogap

Ruojun Wang, Kun Yang

In this paper, we consider a perturbed version of a very simple and exactly solvable model that supports Fermi arcs and pseudogap in its ground state and excitation spectrum, which includes Hubbard-like interactions in both momentum and real spaces. We find that the combined effects give rise to non-Fermi liquid behavior in the electron self-energy. This points to a novel mechanism that leads to non-Fermi liquid behavior, which is of strong current interest in the context of strongly correlated metals, that often become superconductors. Comparison will be made with phenomenology of high- temperature cuprate superconductors.

Anisotropic pseudogap in the half-filling 2-d Hubbard model at finite T

Taiichirou Saikawa, Ferraz, A.

We have studied the pseudogap formation in the single-particle spectra of the half-filling two-dimensional Hubbard model. Using a Green's function with the one-loop self-energy correction of the spin and charge fluctuations, we have numerically calculated the self-energy, the spectral function, and the density of states in the weak-coupling regime at finite temperature. Pseudogap formations have been observed in both the density of states and the spectral function at the Fermi level. The pseudogap in the spectral function is explained by the non-Fermi-liquid-like nature of the self-energy. The anomalous behavior in the self-energy is caused by both the strong antiferromagnetic spin fluctuation and the nesting condition on the non-interacting Fermi surface. In the present approximation, we find a logarithmic singularity in the integrand of the imaginary part of the self-energy. Concerning the energy dependence of the spectral function and the self-energy, two theorems are proved. They give a necessary condition in the self-energy to produce the pseudogap at the Fermi level. The pseudogap in the spectral function is highly momentum dependent on the Fermi surface. It opens initially in the $(\pm π,0)$, $(0,\pm π)$ regions as the normal state pseudogap observed in the high-$T_c$ superconductors and if the interaction is increased, it spreads to other Fermi surface sectors. The anisotropy of the pseudogap is produced by the low-energy enhancement of the spin excitation around ${\bf Q}=(π,π)$ and the flatness of the band dispersion around the saddle point.
