A Two-dimensional Infinte System Density Matrix Renormalization Group Algorithm
It has proved difficult to extend the density matrix renormalization group
technique to large two-dimensional systems. In this Communication I present a
novel approach where the calculation is done directly in two dimensions. This
makes it possible to use an infinite system method, and for the first time the
fixed point in two dimensions is studied. By analyzing several related blocking
schemes I find that there exists an algorithm for which the local energy
decreases monotonically as the system size increases, thereby showing the
potential feasibility of this method.Comment: 5 pages, 6 figure
Spin Gaps in a Frustrated Heisenberg model for CaVO
I report results of a density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) study of a
model for the two dimensional spin-gapped system CaVO. This study
represents the first time that DMRG has been used to study a two dimensional
system on large lattices, in this case as large as , allowing
extrapolation to the thermodynamic limit. I present a substantial improvement
to the DMRG algorithms which makes these calculations feasible.Comment: 10 pages, with 4 Postscript figure
A Renormalization Group Method for Quasi One-dimensional Quantum Hamiltonians
A density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method for highly anisotropic
two-dimensional systems is presented. The method consists in applying the usual
DMRG in two steps. In the first step, a pure one dimensional calculation along
the longitudinal direction is made in order to generate a low energy
Hamiltonian. In the second step, the anisotropic 2D lattice is obtained by
coupling in the transverse direction the 1D Hamiltonians. The method is applied
to the anisotropic quantum spin half Heisenberg model on a square lattice.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Checkerboard patterns in the t-J model
Using the density matrix renormalization group, we study the possibility of
real space checkerboard patterns arising as the ground states of the t-J model.
We find that checkerboards with a commensurate (pi,pi) background are not low
energy states and can only be stabilized with large external potentials.
However, we find that striped states with charge density waves along the
stripes can form approximate checkerboard patterns. These states can be
stabilized with a very weak external field aligning and pinning the CDWs on
different stripes.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
Comment on ``Density-matrix renormalization-group method for excited states''
In a Physical Review B paper Chandross and Hicks claim that an analysis of
the density-density correlation function in the dimerised Hubbard model of
polyacetylene indicates that the optical exciton is bound, and that a previous
study by Boman and Bursill that concluded otherwise was incorrect due to
numerical innacuracy. We show that the method used in our original paper was
numerically sound and well established in the literature. We also show that,
when the scaling with lattice size is analysed, the interpretation of the
density-density correlation function adopted by Chandross and Hicks in fact
implies that the optical exciton is unbound.Comment: RevTeX, 10 pages, 4 eps figures fixed and included now in tex
Energetics of Domain Walls in the 2D t-J model
Using the density matrix renormalization group, we calculate the energy of a
domain wall in the 2D t-J model as a function of the linear hole density
\rho_\ell, as well as the interaction energy between walls, for J/t=0.35. Based
on these results, we conclude that the ground state always has domain walls for
dopings 0 < x < 0.3. For x < 0.125, the system has (1,0) domain walls with
\rho_\ell ~ 0.5, while for 0.125 < x < 0.17, the system has a possibly
phase-separated mixture of walls with \rho_\ell ~ 0.5 and \rho_\ell =1. For x >
0.17, there are only walls with \rho_\ell =1. For \rho_\ell = 1, diagonal (1,1)
domain walls have very nearly the same energy as (1,0) domain walls.Comment: Several minor changes. Four pages, four encapsulated figure
Competition Between Stripes and Pairing in a t-t'-J Model
As the number of legs n of an n-leg, t-J ladder increases, density matrix
renormalization group calculations have shown that the doped state tends to be
characterized by a static array of domain walls and that pairing correlations
are suppressed. Here we present results for a t-t'-J model in which a diagonal,
single particle, next-near-neighbor hopping t' is introduced. We find that this
can suppress the formation of stripes and, for t' positive, enhance the
d_{x^2-y^2}-like pairing correlations. The effect of t' > 0 is to cause the
stripes to evaporate into pairs and for t' < 0 to evaporate into
quasi-particles. Results for n=4 and 6-leg ladders are discussed.Comment: Four pages, four encapsulated figure
Effect of the W-term for a t-U-W Hubbard ladder
Antiferromagnetic and d_{x2-y2}-pairing correlations appear delicately
balanced in the 2D Hubbard model. Whether doping can tip the balance to pairing
is unclear and models with additional interaction terms have been studied. In
one of these, the square of a local hopping kinetic energy H_W was found to
favor pairing. However, such a term can be separated into a number of simpler
processes and one would like to know which of these terms are responsible for
enhancing the pairing. Here we analyze these processes for a 2-leg Hubbard
ladder
Thermodynamics of the anisotropic Heisenberg chain calculated by the density matrix renormalization group method
The density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method is applied to the
anisotropic Heisenberg chain at finite temperatures. The free energy of the
system is obtained using the quantum transfer matrix which is iteratively
enlarged in the imaginary time direction. The magnetic susceptibility and the
specific heat are calculated down to T=0.01J and compared with the Bethe ansatz
results. The agreement including the logarithmic correction in the magnetic
susceptibility at the isotropic point is fairly good.Comment: 4 pages, 3 Postscript figures, REVTeX, to appear in J. Phys. Soc.
