Magnetic phases near the Van Hove singularity in s - and d -band Hubbard models

Abstract

We investigate the magnetic instabilities of the nondegenerate $(s$-band) and a degenerate $(d$-band) Hubbard model in two dimensions using many-body effects due to particle-particle diagrams and Hund's rule local correlations. The density of states and the position of the Van Hove singularity change depending on the value of next-nearest-neighbor hopping ${t}^{\ensuremath{'}}$. The Stoner parameter is strongly reduced in the $s$-band case, and ferromagnetism survives only if the electron density is small and the band has flat regions. Due to next-nearest-neighbor hopping there are flat regions in $\ensuremath{\Gamma}\ensuremath{-}X$ and $\ensuremath{\Gamma}\ensuremath{-}Y$ directions. In contrast, for the $d$-band case the reduction of the Stoner parameter which follows from particle-particle correlations is much smaller and ferromagnetism survives to a large extent. Inclusion of local spin-spin correlations has a limited destabilizing effect on the magnetic states.

Two-dimensional Hubbard model with nearest- and next-nearest-neighbor hopping

H. Q. Lin, J. E. Hirsch

We study the magnetic properties of the two-dimensional Hubbard model with nearest-neighbor (t) and next-nearest-neighbor (${t}_{2}$) hopping and on-site repulsion U. We first calculate the mean-field phase diagram as a function of band filling and U. Because of the Van Hove singularity in the density of states, we find a ferromagnetic phase extending to zero U for certain band filling. For the half-filled band case, antiferromagnetism sets in at a finite value of U if ${t}_{2}$\ensuremath{\ne}0. We study the behavior of spin-spin correlation functions for small lattices of up to N=64 atoms using Monte Carlo simulations, as well as exact diagonalization for N=4. Our results show enhanced ferromagnetic correlations in some regions, but apparently no ferromagnetic long-range order. In the half-filled case, our numerical results are consistent with a nonzero critical U. For a non-half-filled band our results suggest that there is no long-range order.

Weak ferromagnetism and other instabilities of the two-dimensional t − t ′ Hubbard model at van Hove fillings

V. Hankevych, Bumsoo Kyung, A.–M. S. Tremblay

We investigate magnetic and superconducting instabilities of the two-dimensional $t\ensuremath{-}{t}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ Hubbard model on a square lattice at van Hove densities from weak to intermediate coupling by means of the two-particle self-consistent approach. We find that as the next-nearest-neighbor hopping $|{t}^{\ensuremath{'}}|$ increases from zero, the leading instability is towards an incommensurate spin-density wave whose wave vector moves slowly away from $(\ensuremath{\pi},\ensuremath{\pi}).$ For intermediate values of $|{t}^{\ensuremath{'}}|,$ the leading instability is towards ${d}_{{x}^{2}\ensuremath{-}{y}^{2}}$-wave superconductivity. For larger $|{t}^{\ensuremath{'}}|>0.33t,$ there are signs of a crossover to ferromagnetism at extremely low temperatures. The suppression of the crossover temperature is driven by Kanamori screening that strongly renormalizes the effective interaction and also causes the crossover temperature to depend only weakly on ${t}^{\ensuremath{'}}.$ Electronic self-energy effects for large $|{t}^{\ensuremath{'}}|$ lead to considerable reduction of the zero-energy single-particle spectral weight beginning at temperatures as high as $T\ensuremath{\lesssim}0.1t,$ an effect that may be detrimental to the existence of a ferromagnetic ground state at weak coupling.

Magnetic and pair correlations of the Hubbard model with next-nearest-neighbor hopping

Alain Veilleux, A.-M. Daré, Liang Chen +2 more

A combination of analytical approaches and quantum Monte Carlo simulations is used to study both magnetic and pairing correlations for a version of the Hubbard model that includes second-neighbor hopping ${\mathit{t}}^{\ensuremath{'}}$=-0.35t as a model for high-temperature superconductors. Magnetic properties are analyzed using the two-particle self-consistent approach. The maximum in magnetic susceptibility as a function of doping appears both at finite ${\mathit{t}}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ and at ${\mathit{t}}^{\ensuremath{'}}$=0 but for two totally different physical reasons. When ${\mathit{t}}^{\ensuremath{'}}$=0, it is induced by antiferromagnetic correlations while at ${\mathit{t}}^{\ensuremath{'}}$=-0.35t it is a band structure effect amplified by interactions. Finally, pairing fluctuations are compared with T-matrix results to disentangle the effects of van Hove singularity and of nesting on superconducting correlations. The addition of antiferromagnetic fluctuations increases slightly the d-wave superconducting correlations despite the presence of a van Hove singularity which tends to decrease them in the repulsive model. Some aspects of the phase diagram and some subtleties of finite-size scaling in Monte Carlo simulations, such as inverted finite-size dependence, are also discussed.

Magnetic fluctuations and dominant superconducting pairing symmetry near the tunable Van Hove singularity

Xiaohan Kong, Boyang Wen, Kaiyi Guo +2 more

We have investigated the magnetism and pairing correlations of the triangular lattice based on the Hubbard model using the determinant quantum Monte Carlo method and the constrained path Monte Carlo. The results show that the presence of the next-nearest-neighbor hopping integral ${t}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ introduces an additional energy scale to the system, and through ${t}^{\ensuremath{'}}$, one can regulate the shape of the density of states and thus the position of the van Hove singularity point. Increasing inverse temperature $\ensuremath{\beta}$ and on-site interaction $U$ favor the formation of ferromagnetic correlation in a rather large filling region, and the calculations for different lattice sizes show that the range of the ferromagnetic correlations is smaller than the smallest lattice simulated at the investigated temperatures. We study the different pairing correlations of the triangular lattice near several typical fillings and show that the $f$-wave pairing dominates the system in the filling region near the van Hove singularity point with a high density of states, where the ferromagnetic correlation is also enhanced. When the filling is close to half-filling, the pairing susceptibility with $f$ wave is suppressed and the pairing susceptibility of ${f}_{n}$ wave is enhanced, however, both the effective pairing interaction with $f$ wave and ${f}_{n}$ wave are negative, which indicates that neither $f$-wave nor ${f}_{n}$-wave superconductivity may exist. Finally, we find that the pairing channel of different symmetry in the system maybe closely related to the magnetic properties. Ferromagnetic fluctuation favors the formation of $f$-wave pairing, while antiferromagnetic fluctuation tends to promote ${f}_{n}$-wave pairing.

Ferromagnetic instability in itinerant fcc lattice electron systems with higher-order van Hove singularities: Functional renormalization group study

P. A. Igoshev, A. A. Katanin

We investigate the possibility of ferromagnetic ordering in the nondegenerate Hubbard model on the face-centered cubic lattice within the functional renormalization group technique using temperature as a scale parameter. We assume the relations between nearest, next-nearest, and next-next-nearest hopping parameters providing higher-order (giant) van Hove singularity of the density of states. The ferromagnetic instability formation with lowering temperature is described consistently in the one-loop approximation for a one-particle irreducible vertex of two-particle electron interaction. The chemical potential versus temperature phase diagrams are calculated. We find ferromagnetic order only for sufficiently strong divergence of the density of states and fillings in the vicinity of van Hove singularity. The obtained Curie temperature is more than an order of magnitude smaller than the results of the random-phase approximation. The main origin of the suppression of ferromagnetism is the screening of interaction in the particle-particle channel. We also do not find the pronounced tendency towards incommensurate order when the Fermi level is moved away from a van Hove singularity, such that the first-order quantum phase transitions from the ferro- to paramagnetic phase are obtained.

Ferromagnetic Instability and Finite-Temperature Properties of Two-Dimensional Electron Systems with van Hove Singularities

A. A. Katanin, Hiroyuki Yamase, V. Yu. Irkhin

We study a ferromagnetic tendency in the two-dimensional Hubbard model near van Hove filling by using a functional renormalization-group method. We compute temperature dependences of magnetic susceptibilities including incommensurate magnetism. The ferromagnetic tendency is found to occur in a dome-shaped region around van Hove filling with an asymmetric property: incommensurate magnetism is favored near the edge of the dome above van Hove filling whereas a first-order-like transition to the ferromagnetic ground state is expected below van Hove filling. The dome-shaped phase diagram is well captured in the Stoner theory by invoking a smaller Coulomb interaction. Triplet p-wave superconductivity tends to develop at low temperatures inside the dome and extends more than the ferromagnetic region above van Hove filling.
