Superconductivity in model cuprate as an S=1 pseudomagnon condensation
We make use of the S=1 pseudospin formalism to describe the charge degree of
freedom in a model high- cuprate with the on-site Hilbert space reduced to
the three effective valence centers, nominally Cu. Starting
with a parent cuprate as an analogue of the quantum paramagnet ground state and
using the Schwinger boson technique we found the pseudospin spectrum and
conditions for the pseudomagnon condensation with phase transition to a
superconducting state.Comment: Version to be published in JLT
The MFA ground states for the extended Bose-Hubbard model with a three-body constraint
We address the intensively studied extended bosonic Hubbard model (EBHM) with
truncation of the on-site Hilbert space to the three lowest occupation states
n=0,1,2 in frames of the S=1 pseudospin formalism. Similar model was recently
proposed to describe the charge degree of freedom in a model high-Tc cuprate
with the on-site Hilbert space reduced to the three effective valence centers,
nominally Cu^{1+;2+;3+} . With small corrections the model becomes equivalent
to a strongly anisotropic S=1 quantum magnet in an external magnetic field. We
have applied a generalized mean-field approach and quantum Monte-Carlo
technique for the model 2D S=1 system with a two-particle transport to find the
ground state phase with its evolution under deviation from half-filling.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figure
Dynamical charge inhomogeneity and crystal-field fluctuations for 4f ions in high-Tc cuprates
The main relaxation mechanism of crystal-field excitations in rare-earth ions
in cuprates is believed to be provided by the fluctuations of crystalline
electric field induced by a dynamic charge inhomogeneity generic for the doped
cuprates. We address the generalized granular model as one of the model
scenario for such an ingomogeneity where the cuprate charge subsystem remind
that of Wigner crystal with the melting transition and phonon-like positional
excitation modes. Formal description of R-ion relaxation coincides with that of
recently suggested magnetoelastic mechanism.Comment: 4 page
Phase diagrams of a 2D Ising spin-pseudospin model
We consider the competition of magnetic and charge ordering in high-Tc
cuprates within the framework of the simplified static 2D spin-pseudospin
model. This model is equivalent to the 2D dilute antiferromagnetic (AFM) Ising
model with charged impurities. We present the mean-field results for the system
under study and make a brief comparison with classical Monte Carlo (MC)
calculations. Numerical simulations show that the cases of strong exchange and
strong charge correlation differ qualitatively. For a strong exchange, the AFM
phase is unstable with respect to the phase separation (PS) into the charge and
spin subsystems, which behave like immiscible quantum liquids. An analytical
expression was obtained for the PS temperature.Comment: 14 pages, 3 figure
Nonbonding oxygen holes and spinless scenario of magnetic response in doped cuprates
Both theoretical considerations and experimental data point to a more
complicated nature of the valence hole states in doped cuprates than it is
predicted by Zhang-Rice model. Actually, we deal with a competition of
conventional hybrid Cu 3d-O 2p state and purely
oxygen nonbonding state with symmetry. The latter
reveals a non-quenched Ising-like orbital moment that gives rise to a novel
spinless purely oxygen scenario of the magnetic response in doped cuprates with
the oxygen localized orbital magnetic moments of the order of tenths of Bohr
magneton. We consider the mechanism of Cu-O 2p transferred orbital
hyperfine interactions due to the mixing of the oxygen O 2p orbitals with Cu 3p
semicore orbitals. Quantitative estimates point to a large magnitude of the
respective contributions both to local field and electric field gradient, and
their correlated character.Comment: 7 pages, 1 figur
Monte Carlo Simulation of a Model Cuprate
We develop a classical Monte Carlo algorithm based on a quasi-classical approximation for a pseudospin S = 1 Hamiltonian in real space to construct a phase diagram of a model cuprate with a high Tc. A model description takes into account both local and nonlocal correlations, Heisenberg spin-exchange interaction, correlated single-particle, and two-particle transport. We formulate a state selection algorithm for a given parameterization of the wave function in order to ensure a uniform distribution of states in the phase space. The simulation results show a qualitative agreement with the experimental phase diagrams. © 2021 Institute of Physics Publishing.

Nanoscale phase separation in films: evidence for the texture driven optical anisotropy
The IR optical absorption (0.1-1.5 eV) in the films
on LAO substrate exhibits the drastic temperature evolution of the spectral
weight evidencing the insulator to metal transition. Single crystal films were
found to reveal strong linear dichroism with anomalous spectral oscillations
and fairly weak temperature dependence. Starting from the concept of phase
separation, we develop the effective medium model to account for these effects.
The optical anisotropy of the films is attributed to the texturization of the
ellipsoidal inclusions of the quasimetal phase caused by a mismatch of the film
and substrate and the twin texture of the latter.Comment: 6 pages, 5 Encapsulated PostScript figures, uses RevTeX
