Low density ferromagnetism in Extended Hubbard ( t-t'-U ) Model
P. A. Sreeram, Suresh G. Mishra
Abstract
We study the existence of ferromagnetism in one dimensional Hubbard Model with on site interaction and nearest and next nearest neighbor hopping. Using the Hubbard I approximation, a self consistent equation for $$, the particle density with spin $σ$ is obtained. We find that ferromagnetism exists over a wide range of values of the next nearest neighbor hopping element t' when on-site interaction U is large. The phase diagram as a function of t'/t and the electron density $$ has been obtained by numerically solving the self consistent equation. It is found that the maximum density at which ferromagnetism can occur, peaks around $t'/t \approx -0.53$. We show that this phenomenon is a result of the peculiar way in which the t' term modifies the density of states.
