Abstract

Using high temperature series we calculate temperature derivatives of the spin-spin and density-density correlation functions to investigate the low energy spin and charge excitations of the two-dimensional t-J model. We find that the temperature derivatives indicate different momentum dependences for the low energy spin and charge excitations. By comparing short distance density-density correlation functions with those of spinless fermions and hard core bosons, we find that the t-J model results are intermediate between the two cases, being closer to those of hard core bosons. The implications of these results for superconductivity are discussed.

Indications of spin-charge separation in the two-dimensionalt-Jmodel

W. O. Putikka, Rodney L. Glenister, Rajiv R. P. Singh +1 more

We have calculated the high temperature expansion for the density correlation function N(q) of the two-dimensional t-J model. On extrapolation by Pad\'e approximants to low temperatures we find that N(q) has 2${\mathbf{k}}_{\mathit{F}}^{\mathrm{SF}}$ as a characteristic wave vector. Previous studies have shown that ${\mathit{n}}_{\mathbf{k}}$ has a steplike feature at ${\mathbf{k}}_{\mathit{F}}$ and S(q) has 2${\mathbf{k}}_{\mathit{F}}$ as a characteristic wave vector. Here ${\mathit{k}}_{\mathit{F}}$ and ${\mathit{k}}_{\mathit{F}}^{\mathrm{SF}}$ are the Fermi wave vectors of the nearest-neighbor square lattice tight-binding and spinless fermion models, respectively. By comparison to known results for one dimension this suggests spin-charge separation in the two-dimensional t-J model.

Fermion-spin transformation to implement the charge-spin separation

Shiping Feng, Zhixun Su, Lu Yu

A fermion-spin transformation is used to implement the charge-spin separation, and is developed to study the low-dimensional t-J model. In this approach, the charge and spin degrees of freedom of the physical electron are separated, and the charge degree of freedom is represented by a spinless fermion while the spin degree of freedom is representd by a hard-core boson. The on-site local constraint for single occupancy is satisfied even in the mean-field approximation and the sum rule for the physical electron is obeyed. This approach can be applied to both one and two-dimensional systems. In the one-dimensional case, the spinon as well as the physical electron behave like Luttinger liquids. We have obtained a gapless charge and spin excitation spectrum, a good ground state energy, and a reasonable electron-momentum distribution within the mean-field approximation. The correct exponents of the correlation functions and momentum distribution are also obtained if the squeezing effect and rearrangement of the spin configurations are taken into account. In the two-dimensional case, within the mean-field approximation the magnetized flux state with a gap in the spinon spectrum has the lowest energy at half filling. The antiferromagnetic long-range order is destroyed by hole doping of the order \ensuremath{\sim}10-15 % for t/J=3-5 and a disordered flux state with gapless spinon spectrum becomes stable. The calculated specific heat is roughly consistent with observed results on copper oxide superconductors. The possible phase separation is also discussed at the mean-field level.

Low-energy excitations and transport functions of the one-dimensional Kondo insulator

Robert Peters, Roman Rausch

Using variational matrix product states, we analyze the finite temperature behavior of a half-filled periodic Anderson model in one dimension, a prototypical model of a Kondo insulator. We present an extensive analysis of single-particle Green’s functions, two-particle Green’s functions, and transport functions creating a broad picture of the low-temperature properties. We confirm the existence of energetically low-lying spin excitations in this model and study their energy-momentum dispersion and temperature dependence. We demonstrate that charge-charge correlations at the Fermi energy exhibit a different temperature dependence than spin-spin correlations. While energetically low-lying spin excitations emerge approximately at the Kondo temperature, which exponentially depends on the interaction strength, charge correlations vanish already at high temperatures. Furthermore, we analyze the charge and thermal conductivity at finite temperatures by calculating the time-dependent current-current correlation functions. While both charge and thermal conductivity can be fitted for all interaction strengths by gapped systems with a renormalized band gap, the gap in the system describing the thermal conductivity is generally smaller than the system describing the charge conductivity. Thus, two-particle correlations affect the charge and heat conductivities in a different way resulting in a temperature region where the charge conductivity of this one-dimensional Kondo insulator is already decreasing while the heat conductivity is still increasing.

Numerical Studies on the Hubbard Model and thet-JModel in One- and Two-Dimensions

Masatoshi Imada, Yasuhiro Hatsugai

Numerical results obtained from Monte Carlo simulation in the ground state and at finite temperatures as well as the exact diagonalization and the transfer matrix method are reported. Efficiency of the Monte Carlo method in the ground state is examined. Spin, charge and superconducting correlations are investigated for the Hubbard and the t - J model in one and two dimensions. The momentum distribution in the one-dimensional Hubbard model shows fermi-liquid-like behavior at least in two orders of magnitude smaller energy scale than the band width. The short-range incommensurate spin correlation is observed and analyzed in the doped Hubbard and the t - J model both in one and two dimensions. In the ground state, the superconducting correlation shows the absence of system size dependence in two dimensions at the filling smaller than 0.8 and in one dimension at any filling. The binding energy of two fermions and the spin and charge distortion around an itinerant fermion are also discussed in the t - J and the coupled spin-fermion model.

Charge and spin dynamics of the two-dimensionaltmodel in leading order of a 1/Nexpansion

Lew Gehlhoff, R. Zeyher

The density- and spin-correlation functions of the t model are calculated on a square lattice in leading order of a 1/N expansion using X operators and a Baym-Kadanoff expansion. While the spectra of both correlation functions are similar at low densities, the energy scale for density fluctuations becomes much higher than that of spin fluctuations at large densities, due to collective effects. Our results agree quite well with recent exact diagonalizations for the case N=2. Furthermore, we examine the idea that the charge correlations of strongly correlated electrons with spin can be described by those of uncorrelated spinless electrons in two dimensions. While the equal-time density correlation functions of both systems are similar, the dynamic ones behave quite differently at high densities.

Elementary Excitations of One-Dimensional t−J Model with Inverse-Square Exchange

Zou Ha, F. D. M. Haldane

We identify exact excitation content of the intermediate states for the one-particle Green's functions, spin-spin, and (charge) density-density correlation functions of the periodic one-dimensional $t\ensuremath{-}J$ model with inverse-square exchange. The excitations consist of neutral $S=\frac{1}{2}$ spinons and spinless (charge $\ensuremath{-}e$ holons with semionic fractional statistics and bosonic (charge $+2e$) "antiholons" which are excitations of the holon condensate. We find a set of selection rules and the regions of nonvanishing spectral weight in the energy-momentum space for the various correlation functions.
