Simulation of a modified Hubbard model with a chemical potential using a meron-cluster algorithm
We show how a variant of the Hubbard model can be simulated using a
meron-cluster algorithm. This provides a major improvement in our ability to
determine the behavior of these types of models. We also present some results
that clearly demonstrate the existence of a superconducting state in this
model.Comment: 9 pages, Lattice2002(plenary

Large-N expansion based on the Hubbard-operator path integral representation and its application to the model
In the present work we have developed a large-N expansion for the model
based on the path integral formulation for Hubbard-operators. Our large-N
expansion formulation contains diagrammatic rules, in which the propagators and
vertex are written in term of Hubbard operators. Using our large-N formulation
we have calculated, for J=0, the renormalized boson propagator. We
also have calculated the spin-spin and charge-charge correlation functions to
leading order 1/N. We have compared our diagram technique and results with the
existing ones in the literature.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, Phys.Rev.B (in press
Symmetry Properties on Magnetization in the Hubbard Model at Finite Temperatures
By making use of some symmetry properties of the relevant Hamiltonian, two
fundamental relations between the ferromagnetic magnetization and a spin
correlation function are derived for the -dimensional Hubbard model
at finite temperatures. These can be viewed as a kind of Ward-Takahashi
identities. The properties of the magnetization as a function of the applied
field are discussed. The results thus obtained hold true for both repulsive and
attractive on-site Coulomb interactions, and for arbitrary electron fillings.Comment: Latex file, no figur
Neel Order and Electron Spectral Functions in the Two-Dimensional Hubbard Model: a Spin-Charge Rotating Frame Approach
Using recently developed quantum SU(2)xU(1) rotor approach, that provides a
self-consistent treatment of the antiferromagnetic state we have performed
electronic spectral function calculations for the Hubbard model on the square
lattice. The collective variables for charge and spin are isolated in the form
of the space-time fluctuating U(1) phase field and rotating spin quantization
axis governed by the SU(2) symmetry, respectively. As a result interacting
electrons appear as composite objects consisting of bare fermions with attached
U(1) and SU(2) gauge fields. This allows us to write the fermion Green's
function in the space-time domain as the product CP^1 propagator resulting from
the SU(2) gauge fields, U(1) phase propagator and the pseudo-fermion
correlation function. As a result the problem of calculating the spectral line
shapes now becomes one of performing the convolution of spin, charge and
pseudo-fermion Green's functions. The collective spin and charge fluctuations
are governed by the effective actions that are derived from the Hubbard model
for any value of the Coulomb interaction. The emergence of a sharp peak in the
electron spectral function in the antiferromagnetic state indicates the decay
of the electron into separate spin and charge carrying particle excitations.Comment: 16 pages, 5 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev.
Searching for the Slater Transition in the Pyrochlore CdOsO with Infrared Spectroscopy
Infrared reflectance measurements were made on the single crystal pyrochlore
CdOsO in order to examine the transformations of the
electronic structure and crystal lattice across the boundary of the metal
insulator transition at . All predicted IR active phonons are
observed in the conductivity over all temperatures and the oscillator strength
is found to be temperature independent. These results indicate that charge
ordering plays only a minor role in the MIT and that the transition is strictly
electronic in nature. The conductivity shows the clear opening of a gap with
. The gap opens continuously, with a temperature
dependence similar to that of BCS superconductors, and the gap edge having a
distinct dependence. All of these
observables support the suggestion of a Slater transition in CdOsO.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Metal insulator transition in TlSr2CoO5 from orbital degeneracy and spin disproportionation
To describe the metal insulator transition in the new oxide TlSr2CoO5 we
investigate its electronic structure by LDA and model Hartree-Fock
calculations. Within LDA we find a homogeneous metallic and ferromagnetic
ground state, but when including the Coulomb interaction more explicitly within
the Hartree-Fock approximation, we find an insulating state of lower energy
with both spin and orbital order. We also interpret our results in terms of a
simple model.Comment: 8 pages, 9 figure
Inozemtsev's hyperbolic spin model and its related spin chain
In this paper we study Inozemtsev's su(m) quantum spin model with hyperbolic
interactions and the associated spin chain of Haldane-Shastry type introduced
by Frahm and Inozemtsev. We compute the spectrum of Inozemtsev's model, and use
this result and the freezing trick to derive a simple analytic expression for
the partition function of the Frahm-Inozemtsev chain. We show that the energy
levels of the latter chain can be written in terms of the usual motifs for the
Haldane-Shastry chain, although with a different dispersion relation. The
formula for the partition function is used to analyze the behavior of the level
density and the distribution of spacings between consecutive unfolded levels.
We discuss the relevance of our results in connection with two well-known
conjectures in quantum chaos.Comment: 22 pages, RevTeX, 7 figure
The potential of small unmanned aircraft systems and structure-from-motion for topographic surveys: a test of emerging integrated approaches at Cwm Idwal, North Wales
This paper was accepted for publication in the journal Geomorphology and the definitive published version is available at http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2014.07.021Novel topographic survey methods that integrate both structure-from-motion (SfM) photogrammetry and small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) are a rapidly evolving investigative technique. Due to the diverse range of survey configurations available and the infancy of these new methods, further research is required. Here, the accuracy, precision and potential applications of this approach are investigated. A total of 543 images of the Cwm Idwal moraine–mound complex were captured from a light (b5 kg) semi-autonomous multi-rotor unmanned aircraft system using a consumer-grade 18 MP compact digital camera. The imageswere used to produce a DSM(digital surfacemodel) of themoraines. The DSMis in good agreement with 7761 total station survey points providing a total verticalRMSE value of 0.517mand verticalRMSE values as lowas 0.200mfor less densely vegetated areas of the DSM. High-precision topographic data can be acquired rapidly using this technique with
the resulting DSMs and orthorectified aerial imagery at sub-decimetre resolutions. Positional errors on the total station dataset, vegetation and steep terrain are identified as the causes of vertical disagreement. Whilst this aerial survey approach is advocated for use in a range of geomorphological settings, care must be taken to ensure that adequate ground control is applied to give a high degree of accuracy
