Electron momentum distribution in underdoped cuprates
We investigate the electron momentum distribution function (EMD) in a weakly
doped two-dimensional quantum antiferromagnet (AFM) as described by the t-J
model. Our analytical results for a single hole in an AFM based on the
self-consistent Born approximation (SCBA) indicate an anomalous momentum
dependence of EMD showing 'hole pockets' coexisting with a signature of an
emerging large Fermi surface. The position of the incipient Fermi surface and
the structure of the EMD is determined by the momentum of the ground state. Our
analysis shows that this result remains robust in the presence of next-nearest
neighbor hopping terms in the model. Exact diagonalization results for small
clusters are with the SCBA reproduced quantitatively.Comment: 5 pages, submitted to PR
Magnetic and lattice polaron in Holstein-t-J model
We investigate the interplay between the formation of lattice and magnetic
polaron in the case of a single hole in the antiferromagnetic background. We
present an exact analytical solution of the Holstein-t-J model in infinite
dimensions. Ground state energy, electron-lattice correlation function, spin
bag dimension as well as spectral properties are calculated. The magnetic and
hole-lattice correlations sustain each other, i.e. the presence of
antiferromagnetic correlations favors the formation of the lattice polaron at
lower value of the electron-phonon coupling while the polaronic effect
contributes to reduce the number of spin defects in the antiferromagnetic
background. The crossover towards a spin-lattice small polaron region of the
phase diagram becomes a discontinuous transition in the adiabatic limit.Comment: revtex, 8 eps figures included NEW version. Appendix with a full
