Friedel oscillations in the open Hubbard chain

Published Oct 15, 1998• 74 citations

Abstract

Using the density-matrix renormalization-group (DMRG) technique, we calculate critical exponents for the one-dimensional Hubbard model with open boundary conditions with and without additional boundary potentials at both ends. A direct comparison with open boundary condition Bethe ansatz calculations provides a good check for the DMRG calculations on large system sizes. On the other hand, the DMRG calculations provide an independent check of the predictions of conformal field theory, which are needed to obtain the critical exponents from the Bethe ansatz. From the Bethe ansatz we predict the behavior of the $1/L$-corrected mean value of the Friedel oscillations (for the density and the magnetization) and the characteristic wave vectors, and show numerically that these conjectures are fulfilled with and without boundary potentials. The quality of the numerical results allows us to determine the behavior of the coefficients of the Friedel oscillations as a function of the Hubbard interaction.

Friedel oscillations and charge density waves in chains and ladders

Steven R. White, Ian K. Affleck, Douglas J. Scalapino

The density matrix renormalization (DMRG) group method for ladders works much more efficiently with open boundary conditions. One consequence of these boundary conditions is ground-state charge density oscillations that often appear to be nearly constant in magnitude or to decay only slightly away from the boundaries. We analyze these using bosonization techniques, relating their detailed form to the correlation exponent and distinguishing boundary induced generalized Friedel oscillations from true charge density waves. We also discuss a different approach to extracting the correlation exponent from the finite size spectrum which uses exclusively open boundary conditions and can therefore take advantage of data for much larger system sizes. A general discussion of the Friedel oscillation wave vectors is given, and a convenient Fourier transform technique is used to determine it. DMRG results are analyzed on Hubbard and $t\ensuremath{-}J$ chains and 2 leg $t\ensuremath{-}J$ ladders. We present evidence for the existence of a long-ranged charge density wave state in the $t\ensuremath{-}J$ ladder at a filling of $n=0.75$ and near $J/t\ensuremath{\approx}0.25.$

The one-dimensional Hubbard model with open ends: universal divergent contributions to the magnetic susceptibility

Michael Bortz, Jesko Sirker

The magnetic susceptibility of the one-dimensional Hubbard model with open boundary conditions at arbitrary filling is obtained from field theory at low temperatures and small magnetic fields, including leading and next-leading orders. Logarithmic contributions to the bulk part are identified as well as algebraic-logarithmic divergences in the boundary contribution. As a manifestation of spin-charge separation, the result for the boundary part at low energies turns out to be independent of filling and interaction strength and identical to the result for the Heisenberg model. For the bulk part at zero temperature, the scale in the logarithms is determined exactly from the Bethe ansatz. At finite temperature, the susceptibility profile as well as the Friedel oscillations in the magnetisation are obtained numerically from the density-matrix renormalisation group applied to transfer matrices. Agreement is found with an exact asymptotic expansion of the relevant correlation function.

Spectrum of boundary states in the open Hubbard chain

Gerald Bedürftig, Holger Frahm

We use the Bethe Ansatz solution for the one dimensional Hubbard model with open boundary conditions and applied boundary fields to study the spectrum of bound states at the boundary. Depending on the strength of the boundary potentials one finds that the true ground state contains a single charge or, for boundary potentials comparable to the Hubbard interaction, a pair of electrons in a bound state. If these are left unoccupied one finds holon and spinon bound states. We compute the finite size corrections to the low lying energies in this system and use the predictions of boundary conformal field theory to study the exponents related to the orthogonality catastrophe.

Density-matrix renormalization-group study ofS=1/2 Heisenberg spin chains: Friedel oscillations and marginal system-size effects

Tai Kai Ng, Shaojin Qin, Zhao-Bin Su

We report a density-matrix renormalization-group (DMRG) study of S=1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg spin chains. We show the Friedel oscillations in open spin chains within bosonization theory. The bosonization predictions are in excellent agreement with the DMRG calculation. The chain length dependence of the ground state and several low-energy excited state energies are compared with conformal field theory results. Based upon the DMRG calculations for various quantities, the interplay between the system size and the number of optimal states kept in the DMRG is carefully discussed. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

Wave function in the strong coupling limit of the Hubbard open chain

Hitoshi Asakawa

The one-dimensional repulsive Hubbard model with infinitely strong interactions is studied under the open boundary condition. The ground-state wave function of the present model is derived based on the Bethe ansatz method. Using the wave functions thus obtained, the Friedel oscillations in the Hubbard open chain are discussed.
