Recursion method and one-hole spectral function of the Majumdar-Ghosh model

We consider the application of the recursion method to the calculation of one-particle Green's functions for strongly correlated systems and propose a new way how to extract the information about the infinite system from the exact diagonalisation of small clusters. Comparing the results for several cluster sizes allows us to establish those Lanczos coefficients that are not affected by the finite size effects and provide the information about the Green's function of the macroscopic system. The analysis of this 'bulk-related' subset of coefficients supplemented by alternative analytic approaches allows to infer their asymptotic behaviour and to propose an approximate analytical form for the 'terminator' of the Green's function continued fraction expansion for the infinite system. As a result, the Green's function acquires the branch cut singularity corresponding to the incoherent part of the spectrum. The method is applied to the spectral function of one-hole in the Majumdar-Ghosh model (the one-dimensional $t-J-J^{\prime}$ model at $J^{\prime}/J=1/2$). For this model, the branch cut starts at finite energy $\omega_0$, but there is no upper bound of the spectrum, corresponding to a linear increase of the recursion coefficients. Further characteristics of the spectral function are band gaps in the middle of the band and bound states below $\omega_0$ or within the gaps. The band gaps arise due to the period doubling of the unit cell and show up as characteristic oscillations of the recursion coefficients on top of the linear increase.Comment: 12 pages, 7 figure

Non-rigid hole band in the extended t-J model

The dispersion of one hole in an extended $t$-$J$ model with additional hopping terms to second and third nearest neighbours and a frustration term in the exchange part has been investigated. Two methods, a Green's function projection technique describing a magnetic polaron of minimal size and the exact diagonalization of a $4*4$ lattice, have been applied, showing reasonable agreement among each other. Using additional hopping integrals which are characteristic for the CuO$_2$ plane in cuprates we find in the nonfrustrated case an isotropic minimum of the dispersion at the point $(\pi/2,\pi/2)$ in $k$-space in good coincidence with recent angle-resolved photoemission results for the insulating compound Sr$_2$CuO$_2$Cl$_2$. Including frustration or finite temperature which shall simulate the effect of doping, the dispersion is drastically changed such that a flat region and an extended saddle point may be observed between $(\pi/2,0)$ and $(\pi,0)$ in agreement with experimental results for the optimally doped cuprates.Comment: 14 pages, LaTeX, 6 figures on request, submitted to Zeitschrift fuer Physi

Lieb-Mattis ferrimagnetism in diluted magnetic semiconductors

We show the possibility of long-range ferrimagnetic ordering with a saturation magnetisation of the order of 1 Bohr magneton per spin for arbitrarily low concentration of magnetic impurities in semiconductors, provided that the impurities form a superstructure satisfying the conditions of the Lieb-Mattis theorem. Explicit examples of such superstructures are given for the wurtzite lattice, and the temperature of ferrimagnetic transition is estimated from a high-temperature expansion. Exact diagonalization studies show that small fragments of the structure exhibit enhanced magnetic response and isotropic superparamagnetism at low temperatures. A quantum transition in a high magnetic field is considered and similar superstructures in cubic semiconductors are discussed as well.Comment: 6 pages,4 figure
