In this paper we study the charge and spin currents transported by the elementary excitations of the one-dimensional Hubbard model. The corresponding current spectra are obtained by both analytic methods and numerical solution of the Bethe-ansatz equations. For the case of half-filling, we find that the spin-triplet excitations carry spin but no charge, while charge $η$-spin triplet excitations carry charge but no spin, and both spin-singlet and charge $η$-spin-singlet excitations carry neither spin nor charge currents.
We propose an effective model called the "charge model", for the half-filled one-dimensional Hubbard and extended Hubbard models. In this model, spin-charge separation, which has been justified from an infinite on-site repulsion ($U$) in the strict sense, is compatible with charge fluctuations. Our analyses based on the many-body Wannier functions succeeded in determining the optical conductivity spectra in large systems. The obtained spectra reproduce the spectra for the original models well even in the intermediate $U$ region of $U=5-10T$, with $T$ being the nearest-neighbor electron hopping…
Using the strong coupling diagram technique for calculating the electron Green's function of the two-dimensional Hubbard model we have summed infinite sequences of ladder diagrams, which describe interactions of electrons with spin and charge fluctuations. For sufficiently low temperatures and doping a pronounced four-band structure is observed in spectral functions. Its appearance is related to the proximity of the transition to the long-range antiferromagnetic order.
We investigate the competition between charge-density-wave (CDW) states and a Coulomb interaction-driven topological Mott insulator (TMI) in the honeycomb extended Hubbard model. For the spinful model with on-site ($U$) and next-nearest-neighbor ($V_2$) Coulomb interactions at half filling, we find two peculiar six-sublattice charge-density-wave insulating states by using variational Monte Carlo simulations as well as the Hartree-Fock approximation. We observe that conventional ordered states always win with respect to the TMI. The ground state is given in the large-$V_2$ region by a CDW chara…
We study magnetic, transport and thermodynamic properties of the half-filled two-dimensional ($2D$) Hubbard model with layered distributed repulsive interactions using unbiased finite temperature quantum Monte Carlo simulations. Antiferromagnetic long-ranged correlations at $T=0$ are confirmed by means of the magnetic structure factor and the onset of short-ranged ones is at a minimum temperature which can be obtained by peaks in susceptibility and specific heat following an RPA prediction. We also show that transport is affected in the large interaction limit and is enhanced in the non-repuls…
Strongly correlated metals often display anomalous transport, including $T$-linear resistivity above the Mott-Ioffe-Regel limit. We introduce a tractable microscopic model for such bad metals, by supplementing the well-known Hubbard model --- with hopping $t$ and on-site repulsion $U$ --- with a `screened Coulomb' interaction between charge densities that decays exponentially with spatial separation. This interaction entirely lifts the extensive degeneracy in the spectrum of the $t=0$ Hubbard model, allowing us to fully characterize the small $t$ electric, thermal and thermoelectric transport …
Determining the nature of band gaps in transition-metal compounds remains challenging. We present a first-principles study on electronic and optical properties of CoO using hybrid functional pseudopotentials. We show that optical absorption spectrum can provide a clear fingerprint to distinguish between Mott-Hubbard, intermediate and charge-transfer insulators. This discrimination is reflected by the qualitative difference in peak satellites due to unique interplay between $d$-$d$ and $p$-$d$ excitations, thus allowing identification from experimental data alone, unlike the existing methods th…
We investigate charge fluctuations in the two-dimensional Hubbard model as a function of doping, interaction strength, next-nearest-neighbor hopping, and temperature within the eight-site dynamical cluster approximation. In the regime of intermediate interaction strengths, we find that $d$ density wave fluctuations, which had previously been postulated using analytical arguments, are present and strong but cannot be interpreted as the cause of the pseudogap in the model, due to their evolution with doping and interaction strength. For all parameters away from half filling, the charge fluctuati…
One of the most straightforward ways to study thermal properties beyond linear response is to monitor the relaxation of an arbitrarily large left-right temperature gradient $T_L-T_R$. In one-dimensional systems which support ballistic thermal transport, the local energy currents $\langle j(t)\rangle$ acquire a non-zero value at long times, and it was recently investigated whether or not this steady state fulfills a simple additive relation $\langle j(t\to\infty)\rangle=f(T_L)-f(T_R)$ in integrable models. In this paper, we probe the non-equilibrium dynamics of the Hubbard chain using density m…
We compute the dynamical charge susceptibility in the two-dimensional Hubbard model within the dynamical cluster approximation. In order to understand the connection between charge susceptibility and pseudogap, we investigate the momentum, doping, and temperature dependence. We find that as a function of frequency, the dynamical charge susceptibility is well represented by a single peak at a characteristic frequency. It shows little momentum or temperature dependence, while the doping dependence is more evident, and no clear signature of the pseudogap is observed. Data for the doping evolution…
We study the extended Hubbard model away from half-filling on a two-dimensional square lattice using cluster dynamical mean field theory on clusters of size $8$. We show that the model exhibits metallic, compressible charge ordered, and insulating charge ordered phases. We determine the location of the charge ordering phase transition line at finite temperature and the properties of the phases as a function of doping, temperature, local interaction, and nearest neighbor interaction. An analysis of the energetics of the charge order transition shows that the charge ordering transition mainly re…
We report a large-scale density-matrix renormalization group study of the lightly doped Hubbard model on 4-leg cylinders at hole doping concentration $δ=12.5\%$. By keeping a large number of states for long system sizes, we are able to reveal a delicate interplay between superconductivity and charge and spin density wave orders tunable via next-nearest neighbor hopping t'. For finite t', the ground state is consistent with that of a Luther-Emery liquid, having `half-filled' charge stripes with power-law superconducting and charge-density-wave correlations of wave-length $λ=1/2δ$, but short-ran…
We study the extended Hubbard model on a two-dimensional half-filled square lattice using the dynamical cluster approximation. We present results on the phase boundaries between the paramagnetic metallic (normal) state and the insulating antiferromagnetic state, as well as between the antiferromagnetic and charge order states. We find hysteresis along the antiferromagnet/charge order and normal/charge order phase boundaries (at larger values of the on-site interaction), indicating first order phase transitions. We show that nearest neighbor interactions lower the critical temperature for the a…
The time evolution properties of charge current for the one-dimensional Hubbard model in an electric field have been studied in a rigorous manner. We find that there is a complete and orthonormal set of time-evolution states for which the charge current can only keep zero or oscillate constantly, differing from the possible picture of damped or over-damped Bloch oscillations due to strong correlations. It is also found that, associated with these states, there is a set of constant phase factors, which are uniquely determined and are very useful on discussing the long-time evolution behaviors o…
The Kotliar and Ruckenstein slave-boson representation of the Hubbard model allows to obtain an approximation of the charge dynamical response function resulting from the Gaussian fluctuations around the paramagnetic saddle-point in analytical form. Numerical evaluation in the thermodynamical limit yields charge excitation spectra consisting of a continuum, a gapless collective mode with anisotropic zero-sound velocity, and a correlation induced high-frequency mode at $ω\approx U$. In this work we show that this analytical expression obeys the particle-hole symmetry of the model on any biparti…
We study the charge-density-wave order and its competition with superconductivity in the one-band Hubbard model for high-$T_c$ superconducting cuprates. We use cluster dynamical mean field theory (CDMFT) at $T=0$. The one-band Hubbard model only contains copper atoms, and a physical charge-density-wave with charge excesses located on the oxygen atoms manifests itself as a bond-density-wave (BDW) within this context. It arises purely out of local correlation effects and also leads to a $s'$-wave pair-density-wave in the presence of $d$-wave superconductivity. The $d$-wave BDW is suppressed on i…
We investigate the competition between superconductivity (SC) and charge density wave (CDW) under a time-dependent periodic field in the attractive Hubbard model. By employing the time-dependent exact diagonalization method, we show that the driving frequency and amplitude of the external field can control the enhancement of either the superconducting pair or the CDW correlations, which are degenerate in the ground state of the half-filled attractive Hubbard model in the absence of the field. In the strong-coupling limit of the attractive Hubbard interaction, the controllability is characteriz…

High-temperature bad-metal transport has been recently studied both theoretically and in experiments as one of the key signatures of strong electronic correlations. Here we use the dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) and its cluster extensions, as well as the finite-temperature Lanczos method (FTLM) to explore the influence of lattice frustration on the thermodynamic and transport properties of the Hubbard model at high temperatures. We consider the triangular and the square lattice at half-filling and at 15\% hole-doping. We find that for $T \gtrsim 1.5t$ the self-energy becomes practically lo…
