Band structure renormalization and weak pseudogap behavior in Na_{0.33}CoO_2: Fluctuation exchange study based on a single band model
Based on a single band Hubbard model and the fluctuation exchange
approximation, the effective mass and the energy band renormalization in
NaCoO is elaborated. The renormalization is observed to exhibit
certain kind of anisotropy, which agrees qualitatively with the angle-resolved
photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) measurements. Moreover, the spectral
function and density of states (DOS) in the normal state are calculated, with a
weak pseudogap behavior being seen, which is explained as a result of the
strong Coulomb correlations. Our results suggest that the large Fermi surface
(FS) associated with the band plays likely a central role in the
charge dynamics.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure
Orbital-transverse density-wave instabilities in iron-based superconductors
Besides the conventional spin-density-wave (SDW) state, a new kind of
orbital-transverse density-wave (OTDW) state is shown to exist generally in
multi-orbital systems. We demonstrate that the orbital character of Fermi
surface nesting plays an important role in density responses. The relationship
between antiferromagnetism and structural phase transition in LaFeAsO (1111)
and BaFeAs (122) compounds of iron-based superconductors may be
understood in terms of the interplay between the SDW and OTDW with a
five-orbital Hamiltonian. We propose that the essential difference between 1111
and 122 compounds is crucially determined by the presence of the
two-dimensional -like Fermi surface around (0,0) being only in 1111
parent compounds.Comment: several parts were rewritten for clarity. 6 pages, 3 figures, 1 tabl
Exotic Haldane Superfluid Phase of Soft-Core Bosons in Optical Lattices
We propose to realize an exotic Haldane superfluid (HSF) phase in an extended
Bose-Hubbard model on the two-leg ladder (i.e., a two-species mixture of
interacting bosons). The proposal is confirmed by means of large-scale quantum
Monte Carlo simulations, with a significant part of the ground-state phase
diagram being revealed. Most remarkably, the newly discovered HSF phase
features both superfluidity and the non-local topological Haldane order. The
effects induced by varying the number of legs are furthermore explored. Our
results shed light on how topological superfluid emerges in bosonic systems.Comment: 5 pages, 6 figures; accepted for publication in Physical Review B
