We present rigorous results for the SU($n$) Fermi-Hubbard models with finite-range hopping in $d$ ($\ge 2$) dimensions. The models are defined on a class of decorated lattices. We first study the models with flat bands at the bottom of the single-particle spectrum and prove that the ground states exhibit SU($n$) ferromagnetism when the number of particles is equal to the number of unit cells. We then perturb the models by adding particular hopping terms and make the bottom bands dispersive. Under the same filling condition, it is proved that the ground states remain SU($n$) ferromagnetic when the bottom bands are sufficiently flat and the Coulomb repulsion is sufficiently large.
Flat-band Ferromagnetism of the SU$(N)$ Hubbard Model on the Tasaki Lattice
本文研究了一维和二维Tasaki晶格上排斥SU($N$)哈伯德模型的para-ferro跃迁。在构造定域多粒子平带铁磁基态的某些限制条件下,将量子强关联电子模型映射为一个经典的统计几何渗流问题,其中必须考虑不同组态的非平凡权重.本文用转移矩阵方法严格证明了一维Tasaki晶格上SU($N$)哈伯德模型的para-ferro跃迁,并对对称性达到SU($10$)的模型进行了数值验证.在二维情况下,我们用Metropolis Monte Carlo方法研究了SU($3$),SU($4$)和SU($10$)Hubbard模型的相变.我们发现临界密度超过了标准渗流的临界密度,并且临界密度随着自旋自由度的增加而增加,这意味着$N$越大,有效排斥相互作用越强.当粒子数$N_e$等于单粒子能谱最低带简并度$N_d$时,我们进一步严格证明了SU $(N)$哈伯德模型的平带铁磁性.
Strongly interacting fermionic systems host a variety of interesting quantum many-body states with exotic excitations. For instance, the interplay of strong interactions and the Pauli exclusion principle can lead to Stoner ferromagnetism, but the fate of this state remains unclear when kinetic terms are added. While in many lattice models the fermions' dispersion results in delocalization and destabilization of the ferromagnet, flat bands can restore strong interaction effects and ferromagnetic correlations. To reveal this interplay, here we propose to study the Hofstadter-Fermi-Hubbard model …
The ground-state properties of the Hubbard chain with on-site repulsion and anisotropic nearest-neighbor attraction are investigated by means of density matrix renormalization group calculations. The non-local attraction acts between fermions of one spin component only, mimicking the effect of p-wave Feshbach resonances in cold-atom systems. We analyze the onset of itinerant ferromagnetism, pinpointing the critical attraction strength where partially and fully ferromagnetic states occur. In the cold-atom setup, where the two (pseudo) spin populations are separately conserved, ferromagnetism oc…
We derive a "Wannier-Hubbard" model consisting of an array of overlapping atomic orbitals interacting via a local Coulomb interaction. Transforming to an orthogonal Wannier basis set, the resulting Hamiltonian displays long range hopping and interactions, with new terms such as correlated hopping and ferromagnetic direct exchange, among others. We numerically study the one-dimensional version of the model at half-filling using the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method, unveiling a rich phase diagram as a function of the interaction $U$ and the overlap $s$ with metallic, and ferrom…
Unconventional ferromagnetism and superconductivity in the imbalanced kagome-lattice Hubbard model are investigated by the mean-field theory and determinant quantum Monte Carlo method. Due to the asymmetric band structure of kagome lattice, the spin-$z$ ferromagnetic order intrinsically exists in the system, which is first enhanced by the interaction, and then continuously destructed after reaching a maximum at a moderate interaction strength. In contrast, the $xy$-plane ferromagnetism develops only above a critical interaction, which is estimated to be $U_c/t=3.65 \pm 0.05$ by finite-size sca…
Ferromagnetism in the t-t' Hubbard model: interplay of lattice, band dispersion, and interaction effects studied within a Goldstone-mode preserving scheme
研究了哈伯德模型中sc、bcc和fcc晶格上的铁磁性,采用了系统的逆简并($1/{\cal N}$)展开,该展开包含了自能和顶点修正,使得自旋旋转对称性和Goldstone模得到了明确的保留.一阶量子修正的磁振子能量进行评估的几种情况下,提供了一个全面的图片的晶格,带色散的相互作用和相互作用对铁磁状态的稳定性相对于长波长和短波长的波动。我们的研究结果支持这样一种观点,即对于有限$t'$的面心立方晶格,只要DOS足够不对称且在带边附近有强峰,铁磁性是哈伯德模型在中强耦合下的一个普遍特征.对于短波长模式,特征能量标度$ω^* \sim T_c$(磁振子DOS峰值能量)的行为与DMFT内的$T_c$与$n$行为非常一致,无论是关于密度的稳定范围($0.20 < n < 0.85$)还是最佳密度$n=0.65$。然而,我们的发现消失的自旋刚度附近的最佳密度突出的作用,长波长的波动,进一步减少了稳定的密度范围。
Recently, a SU(4) $π$-flux Hubbard model on the honeycomb lattice has been proposed to study the spin-orbit excitations of $α$-ZrCl$_3$ [Phys.~Rev.~Lett. 121.097201~(2017)]. Based on this model with a zigzag edge, we show the edge defects can induce edge flat bands that result in a SU(4) edge ferromagnetism. We develop an effective one-dimensional interaction Hamiltonian to study the corresponding SU(4) spin excitations. Remarkably, SU(4) spin excitations of the edge ferromagnet appear as a continuum covering the entire energy region rather than usual magnons. Through further entanglement entr…
