Dislocation-Mediated Melting: The One-Component Plasma Limit
The melting parameter of a classical one-component plasma is
estimated using a relation between melting temperature, density, shear modulus,
and crystal coordination number that follows from our model of
dislocation-mediated melting. We obtain in good agreement
with the results of numerous Monte-Carlo calculations.Comment: 8 pages, LaTe
Pairing, Charge, and Spin Correlations in the Three-Band Hubbard Model
Using the Constrained Path Monte Carlo (CPMC) method, we simulated the
two-dimensional, three-band Hubbard model to study pairing, charge, and spin
correlations as a function of electron and hole doping and the Coulomb
repulsion between charges on neighboring Cu and O lattice sites. As a
function of distance, both the -wave and extended s-wave pairing
correlations decayed quickly. In the charge-transfer regime, increasing
decreased the long-range part of the correlation functions in both
channels, while in the mixed-valent regime, it increased the long-range part of
the s-wave behavior but decreased that of the d-wave behavior. Still the d-wave
behavior dominated. At a given doping, increasing increased the
spin-spin correlations in the charge-transfer regime but decreased them in the
mixed-valent regime. Also increasing suppressed the charge-charge
correlations between neighboring Cu and O sites. Electron and hole doping away
from half-filling was accompanied by a rapid suppression of anti-ferromagnetic
correlations.Comment: Revtex, 8 pages with 15 figure
Ground state of the three-band Hubbard model
The ground state of the two-dimensional three-band Hubbard model in oxide
superconductors is investigated by using the variational Monte Carlo method.
The Gutzwiller-projected BCS and spin- density wave (SDW) functions are
employed in the search for a possible ground state with respect to dependences
on electron density. Antiferromagnetic correlations are considerably enhanced
near half-filling. It is shown that the d-wave state may exist away from
half-filling for both the hole and electron doping cases. The overall structure
of the phase diagram obtained by the calculations qualitatively agrees with
experimental indications. The superconducting condensation energy is in
reasonable agreement with the experimental value obtained from specific heat
and critical magnetic field measurements for optimally doped samples. The
inhomogeneous SDW state is also examined near 1/8-hole doping.Comment: 10 pages, 17 figure
