Stripe phase ordering as quantum interference phenomenon

Abstract

A quantum interference mechanism of the stripe phase instability in quasi one-dimensional (1D) repulsive electron system is proposed. The leading spin-charge coupling term in Landau functional is derived microscopically. It is shown that away from half filling, periodic lattice potential causes cooperative condensation of the spin and charge superlattices, which constitute a 1D analogue of the experimentally observed quasi 2D structures in lanthanum cuprates and nickelates. Renormalization group analysis qualitatively supports the Hartree-Fock picture.

Stripe-phase ordering as a quantum interference phenomenon

Sergei I. Mukhin

A quantum interference mechanism of the stripe-phase instability in quasi-one-dimensional (1D) repulsive electron system is proposed. It is shown that away from half-filling periodic lattice potential causes cooperative condensation of the spin and charge superlattices. The leading spin-charge coupling term in the effective Landau functional is derived microscopically. 1D renormalization-group analysis indicates transient-scale correlations resembling the mean-field pattern. These results reveal possible mechanism of the numerically predicted spin-charge coupling phenomenon, which was recently observed in doped cuprates and nickelates.

Stripe Phase: Analytical Results for Weakly Coupled Repulsive Hubbard Model

Sergei I. Mukhin, Sergey I. Matveenko

Motivated by the stripe developments in cuprates, we review analytical results for the spin-charge solitonic superstructures derived in the framework of the Hubbard model in our studies of weakly coupled (quasi) one-dimensional repulsive electron systems on a lattice. These results demonstrate that close to half filling, in the high temperature regime above the mean field transition temperature, short range repulsions favor charge density fluctuations with wavevectors bearing special relations with those of the spin density fluctuations. In the low temperature regime, besides the wavevectors, mutual phases of the charge and spin densities also become coupled due to a quantum interference phenomenon, leading to the stripe phase instability. It is shown that away from half filling, periodic lattice potential causes cooperative condensation of the spin and charge superlattices. "Switching off" this potential leads to the vanishing of the stripe order. The leading spin-charge coupling term in the effective Landau functional is derived microscopically. Results of the 1D renormalization group ("parquet") analysis away from half filling are also presented. They reveal transient-scale correlations resembling the mean-field pattern. Possible correspondence of our theory with the experimental data on stripe phase in high Tc cuprates is discussed.

Microscopic mechanism of pair-, charge-, and spin-density-wave instabilities in interacting D -dimensional Fermi liquids

Dmitry Miserev, Herbert Schoeller, Jelena Klinovaja +1 more

We present an analytic theory unraveling the microscopic mechanism of instabilities within interacting $D$-dimensional Fermi liquid. Our model consists of a $D$-dimensional electron gas subject to an instantaneous electron-electron interaction of a finite range exceeding the average interparticle distance. Pair, charge, and spin susceptibilities are evaluated via the one-loop renormalization group theory and via the bosonization approach, giving identical results. In case of a repulsive interaction, we identify an intrinsic Fermi-liquid instability towards insulating spin- and charge-density-wave order when the interaction coupling strength reaches a universal critical value. If both electron and hole pockets of the same size are present, the ground state is an excitonic insulator at arbitrarily small repulsive interaction. If the interaction is attractive, the ground state is a singlet non-BCS superconductor with a uniform condensate. In case if both electron and hole Fermi surfaces are present, we predict an instability towards the interpocket pair-density-wave ordering at the critical coupling. This prediction lends strong theoretical support to the pair-density-wave scenario of superconductivity in cuprate materials. Due to its simple and universal nature, presented microscopic mechanism of intrinsic instabilities of interacting $D$-dimensional Fermi liquids constitutes a solid theoretical ground for understanding quantum phase transitions in a variety of quantum materials, from ultraclean semiconductor quantum wells to high-temperature superconductors.

Ordering Effect of Charge–Charge Repulsion in Doped Antiferromagnetic Lattices: A Coupled Cluster Study

Léo Gaspard, Cyril Martins, Jean‐Paul Malrieu

In quantum chemistry, single-reference Coupled Cluster theory, and its refinements introduced by Bartlett, has become a "gold-standard" predictive method for taking into account electronic correlations in molecules. In this article, we introduce a new formalism based on a Coupled Cluster expansion of the wave function that is suited to describe model periodic systems and apply this methodology to the case of hole-doped antiferromagnetic two-dimensional (2D)-square spin-lattices as a proof of concept. More precisely, we focus our study on 1/5 and 1/7 doping ratios and discuss the possible ordering effect due to large hole-hole repulsion. Starting from one of the equivalent single determinants exhibiting a full spin alternation and the most remote location of the holes as a single reference, the method incorporates some corrections to the traditional Coupled Cluster formalism to take into account the nonadditivity of excitation energies to multiply excited determinants. The amplitudes of the excitations, which are possible on the excited determinants but impossible on the reference, are evaluated perturbatively, while their effect is treated as a dressing in the basic equations. The expansion does not show any sign of divergence of the wave operator. Finally, the probabilities of holes moving toward the first- and second-neighboring sites are reported, which confirms the importance of the hole-hole repulsion and offers a picture of how stripes expand around its central line in the "stripe phases" observed in cuprates.

Pairing and density correlations of stripe electrons in a two-dimensional antiferromagnet

Henrik Johannesson, G. I. Japaridze

We study a one-dimensional (1D) electron liquid embedded in a 2D antiferromagnetic insulator, and coupled to it via a weak antiferromagnetic spin-exchange interaction. We argue that this model may qualitatively capture the physics of a single charge stripe in the cuprates on length and time scales shorter than those set by its fluctuation dynamics. Using a local mean-field approach we identify the low-energy effective theory that describes the electronic-spin sector of the stripe as that of a sine-Gordon model. We determine its phases via a perturbative renormalization-group analysis. For realistic values of the model parameters we obtain a phase characterized by enhanced spin density and composite charge-density-wave correlations, coexisting with subleading triplet and composite singlet-pairing correlations. This result is shown to be independent of the spatial orientation of the stripe on the square lattice. We argue that slow transverse fluctuations of the stripes tend to suppress the density correlations, thus promoting the pairing instabilities. The largest amplitudes for the composite instabilities appear when the stripe forms an antiphase domain wall in the antiferromagnet. For twisted spin alignments the amplitudes decrease and leave room for a new type of composite pairing correlation, breaking parity but preserving time-reversal symmetry.

Charge instabilities of the two-dimensional Hubbard model with attractive nearest neighbour interaction

Raymond Frésard, Kevin Steffen, Thilo Kopp

Attractive non-local interactions jointly with repulsive local interaction in a microscopic modelling of electronic Fermi liquids generate a competition between an enhancement of the static charge susceptibility–ultimately signalling charge instability and phase separation–and its correlation induced suppression. We analyse this scenario through the investigation of the extended Hubbard model on a two-dimensional square lattice, using the spin rotation invariant slave-boson representation of Kotliar and Ruckenstein. The quasiparticle density of states, the renormalised effective mass and the Landau parameter F s 0 are presented, whereby the positivity of F s 0 – 1 constitutes a criterion for stability. Van Hove singularities in the density of states support possible charge instabilities. A (negative) next-nearest neighbour hopping parameter t' shifts their positions and produces a tendency towards charge instability even for low filling whereas the t' -controlled particle-hole asymmetry of the correlation driven effective mass is small. A region of instability on account of the attractive interaction V is identified, either at half filling in the absence of strong electronic correlations or, in the case of large on-site interaction U , at densities far from half filling.
