Extracting the Single-Particle Gap in Carbon Nanotubes with Lattice Quantum Monte Carlo
We show how lattice Quantum Monte Carlo simulations can be used to calculate
electronic properties of carbon nanotubes in the presence of strong
electron-electron correlations. We employ the path integral formalism and use
methods developed within the lattice QCD community for our numerical work and
compare our results to empirical data of the Anti-Ferromagnetic Mott Insulating
gap in large diameter tubes.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures, Lat2017 proceedin
Antiferromagnetic character of the quantum phase transition in the Hubbard model on the honeycomb lattice
We provide a unified, comprehensive treatment of all operators that
contribute to the anti-ferromagnetic, ferromagnetic, and charge-density-wave
structure factors and order parameters of the hexagonal Hubbard Model. We use
the Hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm to perform a systematic, carefully controlled
analysis in the temporal Trotter error and of the thermodynamic limit. We
expect our findings to improve the consistency of Monte Carlo determinations of
critical exponents. We perform a data collapse analysis and determine the
critical exponent for the semimetal-Mott insulator transition
in the hexagonal Hubbard Model. Our methods are applicable to a wide range of
lattice theories of strongly correlated electrons
