Study of the spin-32\frac32 Hubbard-Kondo lattice model by means of the Composite Operator Method

We study the spin-$\frac32$ Hubbard-Kondo lattice model by means of the Composite Operator Method, after applying a Holstein-Primakov transformation. The spin and particle dynamics in the ferromagnetic state are calculated by taking into account strong on-site correlations between electrons and antiferromagnetic exchange among $\frac32$ spins, together with usual Hund coupling between electrons and spins

Effects of two-site composite excitations in the Hubbard model

The electronic states of the Hubbard model are investigated by use of the Composite Operator Method. In addition to the Hubbard operators, two other operators related with two-site composite excitations are included in the basis. Within the present formulation, higher-order composite excitations are reduced to the chosen operatorial basis by means of a procedure preserving the particle-hole symmetry. The positive comparison with numerical simulations for the double occupancy indicates that such approximation improves over the two-pole approximation.Comment: 2 pages, 1 figur

Role of the attractive intersite interaction in the extended Hubbard model

We consider the extended Hubbard model in the atomic limit on a Bethe lattice with coordination number z. By using the equations of motion formalism, the model is exactly solved for both attractive and repulsive intersite potential V. By focusing on the case of negative V, i.e., attractive intersite interaction, we study the phase diagram at finite temperature and find, for various values of the filling and of the on-site coupling U, a phase transition towards a state with phase separation. We determine the critical temperature as a function of the relevant parameters, U/|V|, n and z and we find a reentrant behavior in the plane (U/|V|,T). Finally, several thermodynamic properties are investigated near criticality.Comment: 7 pages, 7 figures. EPJB Topical Issue on Novel Quantum Phases and Mesoscopic Physics in Quantum Gase

Symmetries in the Physics of Strongly Correlated Electronic Systems

Strongly correlated electron systems require the development of new theoretical schemes in order to describe their unusual and unexpected properties. The usual perturbation schemes are inadequate and new concepts must be introduced. In our scheme of calculations, the Composite Operator Method, is possible to recover, through a self-consistent calculation, a series of fundamental symmetries by choosing a suitable Hilbert space.Comment: 11 pages, LaTeX, Cmp2e.sty used, submitted to Condensed Matter Physic

The N-Chain Hubbard model in the Composite Operator Method

We propose a theoretical framework to describe the ladder systems. The N-chain Hubbard model has been studied within the Composite Operator Method. In this scheme of calculations the single-particle Green's function for any number of coupled chains is obtained by solving self-consistently a system of integral equations.Comment: 6 pages, 1 embedded Postscript figure, LaTeX, to be published in Physica

Bosonic sector of the two-dimensional Hubbard model studied within a two-pole approximation

The charge and spin dynamics of the two-dimensional Hubbard model in the paramagnetic phase is first studied by means of the two-pole approximation within the framework of the Composite Operator Method. The fully self-consistent scheme requires: no decoupling, the fulfillment of both Pauli principle and hydrodynamics constraints, the simultaneous solution of fermionic and bosonic sectors and a very rich momentum dependence of the response functions. The temperature and momentum dependencies, as well as the dependency on the Coulomb repulsion strength and the filling, of the calculated charge and spin susceptibilities and correlation functions are in very good agreement with the numerical calculations present in the literature

Frustration-driven QPT in the 1D extended anisotropic Heisenberg model

By using Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) technique we study the 1D extended anisotropic Heisenberg model. We find that starting from the ferromagnetic phase, the system undergoes two quantum phase transitions (QPTs) induced by frustration. By increasing the next-nearest-neighbor (NNN) interaction, the ground state of the system changes smoothly from a completely polarized state to a NNN correlated one. On the contrary, letting the in-plane interaction to be greater than the out-of-plane one, the ground state changes abruptly.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, to be presented at CSMAG-07 Kosice, Slovakia, July 200

Equations of motion approach to the spin-1/2 Ising model on the Bethe lattice

We exactly solve the ferromagnetic spin-1/2 Ising model on the Bethe lattice in the presence of an external magnetic field by means of the equations of motion method within the Green's function formalism. In particular, such an approach is applied to an isomorphic model of localized Fermi particles interacting via an intersite Coulomb interaction. A complete set of eigenoperators is found together with the corresponding eigenvalues. The Green's functions and the correlation functions are written in terms of a finite set of parameters to be self-consistently determined. A procedure is developed, that allows us to exactly fix the unknown parameters in the case of a Bethe lattice with any coordination number z. Non-local correlation functions up to four points are also provided together with a study of the relevant thermodynamic quantities.Comment: RevTex, 29 pages, 13 figure
