Dynamical density-density correlations in one-dimensional Mott insulators
The dynamical density-density correlation function is calculated for the
one-dimensional, half-filled Hubbard model extended with nearest neighbor
repulsion using the Lanczos algorithm for finite size systems and analytically
for large on site repulsion compared to hopping amplitudes. At the zone
boundary an excitonic feature exists for any finite nearest neighbor repulsion
and exhausts most of the spectral weight, even for parameters where no exciton
is visible at zero momentum.Comment: 5 pages, REVTeX, epsf, 3 postscript figure
Hubbard model versus t-J model: The one-particle spectrum
The origin of the apparent discrepancies between the one-particle spectra of
the Hubbard and t-J models is revealed: Wavefunction corrections, in addition
to the three-site terms, should supplement the bare t-J. In this way a
quantitative agreement between the two models is obtained, even for the
intermediate- values appropriate for the high-Tc cuprate superconductors.
Numerical results for clusters of up to 20 sites are presented. The momentum
dependence of the observed intensities in the photoemission spectra of
Sr2CuO2Cl2 are well described by this complete strong-coupling approach.Comment: 4 two-column RevTeX pages, including 4 Postscript figures. Uses epsf.

The dimerized phase of ionic Hubbard models
We derive an effective Hamiltonian for the ionic Hubbard model at half
filling, extended to include nearest-neighbor repulsion. Using a spin-particle
transformation, the effective model is mapped onto simple spin-1 models in two
particular cases. Using another spin-particle transformation, a slightly
modified model is mapped into an SU(3) antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model whose
exact ground state is known to be spontaneously dimerized. From the effective
models several properties of the dimerized phase are discussed, like
ferroelectricity and fractional charge excitations. Using bosonization and
recent developments in the theory of macroscopic polarization, we show that the
polarization is proportional to the charge of the elementary excitations
Anomalous high energy dispersion in photoemission spectra from insulating cuprates
Angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopic measurements have been performed
on an insulating cuprate Ca_2CuO_2Cl_2. High resolution data taken along the
\Gamma to (pi,pi) cut show an additional dispersive feature that merges with
the known dispersion of the lowest binding energy feature, which follows the
usual strongly renormalized dispersion of ~0.35 eV. This higher energy part
reveals a dispersion that is very close to the unrenormalized band predicted by
band theory. A transfer of spectral weight from the low energy feature to the
high energy feature is observed as the \Gamma point is approached. By comparing
with theoretical calculations the high energy feature observed here
demonstrates that the incoherent portion of the spectral function has
significant structure in momentum space due to the presence of various energy
scales.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure
Spectral function of the 1D Hubbard model in the limit
We show that the one-particle spectral functions of the one-dimensional
Hubbard model diverge at the Fermi energy like
in the limit. The Luttinger liquid behaviour
, where as ,
should be limited to (for large but
finite), which shrinks to a single point, ,in that limit.
The consequences for the observation of the Luttinger liquid behaviour in
photoemission and inverse photoemission experiments are discussed.Comment: 4 pages, RevTeX, 2 figures on reques
Consistent low-energy reduction of the three-band model for copper oxides with O-O hopping to the effective t-J model
A full three-band model for the CuO plane with inclusion of all
essential interactions - Cu-O and O-O hopping, repulsion at the copper and
oxygen and between them - is considered. A general procedure of the low-energy
reduction of the primary Hamiltonian to the Hamiltonian of the generalized
-- model is developed. An important role of the direct O-O hopping is
discussed. Parameters of the effective low-energy model (the hopping integral,
the band position and the superexchange constant are calculated. An
analysis of the obtained data shows that the experimental value of fixes
the charge transfer energy in a narrow
region of energies.Comment: 32 pp. (LATEX), two figures (PostScript) appende
Anisotropic Spin Hamiltonians due to Spin-Orbit and Coulomb Exchange Interactions
This paper contains the details of Phys. Rev. Lett. 73, 2919 (1994) and, to a
lesser extent, Phys. Rev. Lett. 72, 3710 (1994). We treat a Hubbard model which
includes all the 3d states of the Cu ions and the 2p states of the O ions. We
also include spin-orbit interactions, hopping between ground and excited
crystal field states of the Cu ions, and rather general Coulomb interactions.
Our analytic results for the spin Hamiltonian, H, are corroborated by numerical
evaluations of the energy splitting of the ground manifold for two holes on
either a pair of Cu ions or a Cu-O-Cu complex. In the tetragonal symmetry case
and for the model considered, we prove that H is rotationally invariant in the
absence of Coulomb exchange. When Coulomb exchange is present, each bond
Hamiltonian has full biaxial anisotropy, as expected for this symmetry. For
lower symmetry situations, the single bond spin Hamiltonian is anisotropic at
order t**6 for constant U and at order t**2 for nonconstant U. (Constant U
means that the Coulomb interaction between orbitals does not depend on which
orbitals are involved.)Comment: 50 pages, ILATEX Version 2.09 <13 Jun 1989
