Dynamic Exponent of t-J and t-J-W Model

Drude weight of optical conductivity is calculated at zero temperature by exact diagonalization for the two-dimensional t-J model with the two-particle term, $W$. For the ordinary t-J model with $W$=0, the scaling of the Drude weight $D \propto \delta^2$ for small doping concentration $\delta$ is obtained, which indicates anomalous dynamic exponent $z$=4 of the Mott transition. When $W$ is switched on, the dynamic exponent recovers its conventional value $z$=2. This corresponds to an incoherent-to-coherent transition associated with the switching of the two-particle transfer.Comment: LaTeX, JPSJ-style, 4 pages, 5 eps files, to appear in J. Phys. Soc.

Generalized tt-jj Model

By parameterizing the t-j model we present a new electron correlation model with one free parameter for high-temperature superconductivity. This model is of $SU_{q}(1,2)$ symmetry. The energy spectrums are shown to be modulated by the free parameter in the model. The solution and symmetric structures of the Hilbert space, as well as the Bethe ansatz approach are discussed for special cases.Comment: 13 page, Latex, to appear in J. Phys.

Polaron in t-J model

We present numeric results for ground state and angle resolved photoemission spectra (ARPES) for single hole in t-J model coupled to optical phonons. The systematic-error free diagrammatic Monte Carlo is employed where the Feynman graphs for the Matsubara Green function in imaginary time are summed up completely with respect to phonons variables, while magnetic variables are subjected to non-crossing approximation. We obtain that at electron-phonon coupling constants relevant for high Tc cuprates the polaron undergoes self-trapping crossover to strong coupling limit and theoretical ARPES demonstrate features observed in experiment: a broad peak in the bottom of the spectra has momentum dependence which coincides with that of hole in pure t-J model.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure

Single-hole properties in the tt-JJ and strong-coupling models

We report numerical results for the single-hole properties in the $t$-$J$ model and the strong-coupling approximation to the Hubbard model in two dimensions. Using the hopping basis with over $10^6$ states we discuss (for an infinite system) the bandwidth, the leading Fourier coefficients in the dispersion, the band masses, and the spin-spin correlations near the hole. We compare our results with those obtained by other methods. The band minimum is found to be at ($\pi/2,\pi/2$) for the $t$-$J$ model for $0.1 \leq t/J \leq 10$, and for the strong-coupling model for $1 \leq t/J \leq 10$. The bandwidth in both models is approximately $2J$ at large $t/J$, in rough agreement with loop-expansion results but in disagreement with other results. The strong-coupling bandwidth for t/J\agt6 can be obtained from the $t$-$J$ model by treating the three-site terms in first-order perturbation theory. The dispersion along the magnetic zone face is flat, giving a large parallel/perpendicular band mass ratio.Comment: 1 RevTeX file with epsf directives to include 8 .eps figures 8 figure files encoded using uufile

Fidelity and superconductivity in two-dimensional t-J models

We compute the ground-state fidelity and various correlations to gauge the competition between different orders in two-dimensional t-J-type models. Using exact numerical diagonalization techniques, these quantities are examined for (i) the plain t-J and t-t'-J models, (ii) for the t-J model perturbed by infinite-range d-wave or extended-s-wave superconductivity inducing terms, and (iii) the t-J model, plain and with a d-wave perturbation, in the presence of non-magnetic quenched disorder. Various properties at low hole doping are contrasted with those at low electron filling. In the clean case, our results are consistent with previous work that concluded that the plain t-J model supports d-wave superconductivity. As a consequence of the strong correlations present in the low hole doping regime, we find that the magnitude of the d-wave condensate occupation is small even in the presence of large d-wave superconductivity inducing terms. In the dirty case, we show the robustness of the ground state in the strongly correlated regime against disorder.Comment: 11 pages, 12 figures, as publishe

Superconductivity in the t-J model

A comparison of microscopic theories of superconductivity in the limit of strong electron correlations is presented. We consider results for the two-dimensional t-J model obtained within the projection technique for the Green functions in terms of the Hubbard operators and the slave-fermion representation for the RVB state. It is argued that the latter approach resulting in the odd-symmetry p-wave pairing for fermions is inadequate.Comment: 11 pages, RevTex, 1 figure, to appear in Condensed Matter Physics v.5, No.4 (2002)(Lviv, Ukraine) v.2: corrected typo

Stripes and the t-J model

We investigate the two-dimensional t-J model at a hole doping of x = 1/8 and J/t = 0.35 with exact diagonalization. The low-energy states are uniform (not striped). We find numerous excited states with charge density wave structures, which may be interpreted as striped phases. Some of these are consistent with neutron scattering data on the cuprates and nickelates.Comment: 4 pages; 4 eps figures included in text; Revte

Phase separation in t-J ladders

The phase separation boundary of isotropic t-J ladders is analyzed using density matrix renormalization group techniques. The complete boundary to phase separation as a function of J/t and doping is determined for a chain and for ladders with two, three and four legs. Six-chain ladders have been analyzed at low hole doping. We use a direct approach in which the phase separation boundary is determined by measuring the hole density in the part of the system which contains both electrons and holes. In addition we examine the binding energy of multi-hole clusters. An extrapolation in the number of legs suggests that the lowest J/t for phase separation to occur in the two dimensional t-J model is J/t~1.Comment: 8 pages in revtex format including 13 embedded figures, one reference adde

Exact Results of the 1D 1/r21/r^2 Supersymmetric t-J Model without Translational Invariance

In this work, we continue the study of the supersymmetric t-J model with 1/r^2 hopping and exchange without translational invariance. A set of Jastrow wavefunctions are obtained for the system, with eigenenergies explicitly calculated. The ground state of the t-J model is included in this set of wavefunctions. The spectrum of this t-J model consists of equal-distant energy levels which are highly degenerate.Comment: 14 pages, Late

Two-Hole and Four-Hole Bound States in a t-J Ladder at half-filling

The two-hole excitation spectrum of the t-J ladder at half-filling is studied using linked-cluster series expansion methods. A rich spectrum of bound states emerges, particularly at small $t/J$. Their dispersion relations and coherence lengths are computed, along with the threshold behaviour as the bound states merge into the continuum. A class of 4-hole bound states is also studied, leading to the conclusion that phase separation occurs for $t/J \lesssim 0.5$, in agreement with other studies.Comment: revtex
