电子关联对高温$_c$铜氧化物电子结构和自旋-晶格耦合的影响:量子Monte Carlo计算

The effect of electron correlation on the electronic structure and spin-lattice coupling of the high-T$_c$ cuprates: quantum Monte Carlo calculations

Lucas K. Wagner, Peter Abbamonte

摘要:

在高温超导材料中,电子关联效应特别强。设计这些材料的准确描述长期以来一直是一个挑战,这些强相关效应在历史上被认为是不可能或不切实际的计算模拟。利用量子蒙特卡罗技术,我们明确地模拟了电子关联在几个铜酸盐材料的第一性原理。这些模拟准确地再现了这些材料的许多重要物理量,包括相互作用引起的间隙和铜自旋之间的超交换耦合,除了基本常数之外没有其他参数。我们进一步研究了母体材料中的无量纲自旋-晶格耦合参数,结果表明它在0.1和1.0之间变化很大,取决于中间层。这一结果表明,在这些系统中,晶格自由度和磁自由度不是独立的,这可能对超导性的起源有影响。

英文摘要:

Electron correlation effects are particularly strong in the high temperature superconducting materials. Devising an accurate description of these materials has long been a challenge, with these strong correlation effects historically being considered impossible or impractical to simulate computationally. Using quantum Monte Carlo techniques, we have explicitly simulated electron correlations in several cuprate materials from first principles. These simulations accurately reproduce many important physical quantities about these materials, including the interaction-induced gap and the superexchange coupling between copper spins, with no additional parameters beyond fundamental constants. We further investigate the dimensionless spin-lattice coupling parameter in the parent materials, showing that it varies dramatically between 0.1 and 1.0 depending on the interlayer. This result indicates that the lattice and magnetic degrees of freedom are not independent in these systems, which may have ramifications for the origin of superconductivity.
