Correlated hopping in the Falicov-Kimball model: A large-dimensions study

Abstract

The Falicov-Kimball model with a correlated-hopping interaction is solved using an extended dynamical mean-field theory that becomes exact in the limit of large dimensions. The effect of correlated hopping is to introduce nonlocal self-energy components that retain full dynamics as $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{D}\ensuremath{\infty},$ thus introducing an explicit k dependence to the single-particle self-energy. An explicit solution for the homogeneous phase at $D=2$ reveals significant nonlocal dynamical contributions in the physically relevant regime of a moderately large correlated-hopping amplitude, indicating that important nonlocal correlations are omitted in Hubbard-like models upon neglecting the correlated-hopping interaction.

Correlated hopping in the Falicov-Kimball model: a dynamical mean-field study

Dang Thanh-Hai, Tran Minh-Tien

We study the effects of correlated hopping in the two-dimensional (2D) Falicov-Kimball model by means of an extension of the dynamical mean-field approximation (DMFA). The extension is based on the projection technique and the DMFA, in which nonlocal correlations are taken into account through static quantities of a relevant subspace. The effect of the correlated hopping is to introduce nonlocal self-energy components which remain even at D → ∞ . We show that the sum rules of the spectral function and its moments are preserved. The spectral function obtained reveals significant nonlocal contributions which are absent in the DMFA.

Exact dynamical mean-field theory of the Falicov-Kimball model

James K. Freericks, V. Zlatić

The Falicov-Kimball model was introduced in 1969 as a statistical model for metal-insulator transitions; it includes itinerant and localized electrons that mutually interact with a local Coulomb interaction and is the simplest model of electron correlations. It can be solved exactly with dynamical mean-field theory in the limit of large spatial dimensions, which provides an interesting benchmark for the physics of locally correlated systems. In this review, the authors develop the formalism for solving the Falicov-Kimball model from a path-integral perspective and provide a number of expressions for single- and two-particle properties. Many important theoretical results are examined that show the absence of Fermi-liquid features and provide a detailed description of the static and dynamic correlation functions and of transport properties. The parameter space is rich and one finds a variety of many-body features like metal-insulator transitions, classical valence fluctuating transitions, metamagnetic transitions, charge-density-wave order-disorder transitions, and phase separation. At the same time, a number of experimental systems have been discovered that show anomalies related to Falicov-Kimball physics [including ${\mathrm{YbInCu}}_{4},$ ${\mathrm{EuNi}}_{2}({\mathrm{Si}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Ge}}_{x}{)}_{2},$ ${\mathrm{NiI}}_{2},$ and ${\mathrm{Ta}}_{x}\mathrm{N}].$

Dynamical susceptibilities of the Falicov-Kimball model with correlated hopping: general approach

Andrij M. Shvaika, Oleg Farenyuk

The Falicov-Kimball model with correlated hopping is studied in the limit of infinite spatial dimensions.Dynamical susceptibilities are calculated using the generalization of the Dynamical Mean-Field Theory (DMFT), which is based on expansion over electron hopping around the single-site limit.A special case of semi-elliptic density of states and diagonal correlated hopping is considered numerically and the absence of phase transition for all temperatures except T = 0 is demonstrated, which corresponds to the known results.

Non-local effects in the fermion dynamical mean-field framework; application to the two-dimensional Falicov-Kimball model

M. S. Laad, Mathias van den Bossche

We propose a new, controlled approximation scheme that explicitly includes the effects of non-local correlations on the D = solution. In contrast to the usual D = case, the self-energy is self-consistently coupled to two-particle correlation functions. The formalism is general, and is applied to the two-dimensional Falicov-Kimball model. Our approach possesses all the strengths of the large- D solution, and allows one to undertake a systematic study of the effects of inclusion of k -dependent effects on the D = picture. Results for the density of states ( ), and the single-particle spectral density for the 2D Falicov-Kimball model always yield positive definite ( ), and the spectral function shows striking new features inaccessible for D = . Our results are in good agreement with the exact results known from the 2D Falicov-Kimball model.

Non-local effects in the fermion Dynamical mean field framework. Application to the 2D Falicov-Kimball model

M. S. Laad, Mathias van den Bossche

We propose a new, controlled approximation scheme that explicitly includes the effects of non-local correlations on the $D=\infty$ solution. In contrast to usual $D=\infty$, the selfenergy is selfconsistently coupled to two-particle correlation functions. The formalism is general, and is applied to the two-dimensional Falicov-Kimball model. Our approach possesses all the strengths of the large-D solution, and allows one to undertake a systematic study of the effects of inclusion of k-dependent effects on the $D=\infty$ picture. Results for the density of states $ρ(ω)$, and the single particle spectral density for the 2D Falicov-Kimball model always yield positive definite $ρ(ω)$, and the spectral function shows striking new features inaccessible in $D=\infty$. Our results are in good agreement with the exact results known on the 2D Falikov-Kimball model.

Correlated Hopping in the 1D Falicov--Kimball Model

Z. Gajek, R. Lemański

Both canonical and grand canonical phase diagrams of the one dimensional Falicov-Kimball model (FKM) with correlated hopping are presented for several values of the model parameters. Using the method of restricted phase diagrams the system has been studied in the thermodynamic limit. As compare to the conventional FKM, the diagrams exhibit a loss of the particle-hole symmetry. PACS D5.30.Fk, 71.30+h As the simplest, still non-trivial model of highly correlated electron systems, the Falicov-Kimball model (FKM) attracts growing attention among solid state physicists. It can describe variety of the most intriguing cooperative phenomena, as metal-insulator transition, mixed-valence phenomenon etc. (see e.g. the review [1]). The model deals with itinerant particles (electrons) that can hope between nearest-neighbor sites. Some of lattice sites are occupied by non-movable particles, playing a role of ions or localized electrons; we call them ”ions”. The only interaction in the system is the on-site, Coulomb-type interaction between the electrons and the ions. The interaction generates long-range correlations between the ions. The model has been investigated thoroughly in nineties. Numerous approximate results supplemented with some exact and rigorous statements reported up to now provide a good basis for further extensions of the model towards more realistic physical situations. These include the discussed here model with correlated hopping, according to which the electron hopping rate depends on occupations of relevant sites. The Hamiltonian of the FKM with correlated hopping reads:
