Temperature and Dimensionality Dependences of Optical Absorption Spectra in Mott Insulators
We investigate the temperature dependence of optical absorption spectra of
one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) Mott insulators by using an
effective model in the strong-coupling limit of a half-filed Hubbard model. In
the numerically exact diagonalization calculations on finite-size clusters, we
find that in 1D the energy position of the absorption edge is almost
independent of temperature, while in 2D the edge position shifts to lower
energy with increasing temperature. The different temperature dependence
between 1D and 2D is attributed to the difference of the coupling of the charge
and spin degrees of freedom. The implications of the results on experiments are
discussed in terms of the dimensionality dependence.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
Mott Gap Excitations and Resonant Inelastic X-Ray Scattering in Doped Cuprates
Predictions are made for the momentum- and carrier-dependent degradation of
the Mott gap upon doping in high-Tc cuprates as would be observed in Cu K-edge
resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS). The two-dimensional Hubbard model
with second- and third-nearest-neighbor hopping terms has been studied by
numerical exact diagonalization. Special emphasis is placed on the
particle-hole asymmetry of the Mott gap excitations. We argue that the Mott gap
excitations observed by RIXS are significantly influenced by the interaction
between charge carriers and antiferromagnetic correlations.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, revised version; to be published in Phys. Rev.

Analysis of transport properties of iron pnictides: spin-fluctuation scenario
We present a phenomenological theory of quasiparticle scattering and
transport relaxation in the normal state of iron pnictides based on the
simplified two-band model coupled via spin fluctuations. In analogy with
anomalous properties of cuprates it is shown that a large and anomalous
normal-state resistivity and thermopower can be interpreted as the consequence
of strong coupling to spin fluctuations. The generalization to the
superconducting phase is also discussed.Comment: Revised version, 6 pages, 11 references adde
Doping dependence of chemical potential and entropy in hole- and electron-doped high-Tc cuprates
We examine the thermodynamic properties of the hole- and electron-doped
cuprates by using the t-t'-t''-J model. We find that the chemical potential
shows different doping dependence between the hole and electron dopings. Recent
experimental data of the chemical potential shift are reproduced except for
lightly underdoped region in the hole doping where stripe and/or charge
inhomogeneity are expected to be important. The entropy is also calculated as a
function of the carrier concentration. It is found that the entropy of the
electron-doped system is smaller than that of the hole-doped systems. This is
related to strong antiferromagnetic short-range correlation that survives in
the electron-doped system.Comment: REVTeX4, 3 pages, 3 figures, to appear in Phys. Rev.
Anomalous temperature dependence of the single-particle spectrum in the organic conductor TTF-TCNQ
The angle-resolved photoemission spectrum of the organic conductor TTF-TCNQ
exhibits an unusual transfer of spectral weight over a wide energy range for
temperatures 60K<T<260K. In order to investigate the origin of this finding,
here we report numerical results on the single-particle spectral weight
A(k,omega) for the one-dimensional (1D) Hubbard model and, in addition, for the
1D extended Hubbard and the 1D Hubbard-Holstein models. Comparisons with the
photoemission data suggest that the 1D Hubbard model is not sufficient for
explaining the unusual T dependence, and the long-range part of the Coulomb
repulsion also needs to be included.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Temperature dependence of spinon and holon excitations in one-dimensional Mott insulators
Motivated by the recent angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES)
measurements on one-dimensional Mott insulators, SrCuO and
NaVO, we examine the single-particle spectral weight
of the one-dimensional (1D) Hubbard model at half-filling. We are particularly
interested in the temperature dependence of the spinon and holon excitations.
For this reason, we have performed the dynamical density matrix renormalization
group and determinantal quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) calculations for the
single-particle spectral weight of the 1D Hubbard model. In the QMC data, the
spinon and holon branches become observable at temperatures where the
short-range antiferromagnetic correlations develop. At these temperatures, the
spinon branch grows rapidly. In the light of the numerical results, we discuss
the spinon and holon branches observed by the ARPES experiments on
SrCuO. These numerical results are also in agreement with the
temperature dependence of the ARPES results on NaVO.Comment: 8 pages, 8 figure
Resonant Two-Magnon Raman Scattering and Photoexcited States in Two-Dimensional Mott Insulators
We investigate the resonant two-magnon Raman scattering in two-dimensional
(2D) Mott insulators by using a half-filled 2D Hubbard model in the strong
coupling limit. By performing numerical diagonalization calculations for small
clusters, we find that the Raman intensity is enhanced when the incoming photon
energy is not near the optical absorption edge but well above it, being
consistent with experimental data. The absence of resonance near the gap edge
is associated with the presence of background spins, while photoexcited states
for resonance are found to be characterized by the charge degree of freedom.
The resonance mechanism is different from those proposed previously.Comment: REVTeX4, 4 pages, 3 figures, to be published in Phys. Rev. Let
Drude Weight of the Two-Dimensional Hubbard Model -- Reexamination of Finite-Size Effect in Exact Diagonalization Study --
The Drude weight of the Hubbard model on the two-dimensional square lattice
is studied by the exact diagonalizations applied to clusters up to 20 sites. We
carefully examine finite-size effects by consideration of the appropriate
shapes of clusters and the appropriate boundary condition beyond the imitation
of employing only the simple periodic boundary condition. We successfully
capture the behavior of the Drude weight that is proportional to the squared
hole doping concentration. Our present result gives a consistent understanding
of the transition between the Mott insulator and doped metals. We also find, in
the frequency dependence of the optical conductivity, that the mid-gap
incoherent part emerges more quickly than the coherent part and rather
insensitive to the doping concentration in accordance with the scaling of the
Drude weight.Comment: 9 pages with 10 figures and 1 table. accepted in J. Phys. Soc. Jp
Theoretical study of angle-resolved two-photon photoemission in two-dimensional insulating cuprates
We propose angle-resolved two-photon photoemission spectroscopy (AR-2PPES) as
a technique to detect the location of the bottom of the upper Hubbard band
(UHB) in two-dimensional insulating cuprates. The AR-2PPES spectra are
numerically calculated for small Hubbard clusters. When the pump photon excites
an electron from the lower Hubbard band, the bottom of the UHB is less clear,
but when an electron in the nonbonding oxygen band is excited, the bottom of
the UHB can be identified clearly, accompanied with additional spectra
originated from the spin-wave excitation at half filling.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
