Spectral Properties of the Generalized Spin-Fermion Models

Finite temperature Green's function technique is used to calculate the energies and damping rates of elementary excitations of the homogeneous, dilute, spin-1 Bose gases below the Bose-Einstein condensation temperature both in the density and spin channels. For this purpose the self-consistent dynamical Hartree-Fock model is formulated, which takes into account the direct and exchange processes on equal footing by summing up certain classes of Feynman diagrams. The model is s...

The operators of localized spins within a magnetic material commute at different sites of its lattice and anticommute on the same site, so they are neither fermionic nor bosonic operators. Thus, to construct diagrammatic many-body perturbation theory, the spin operators are usually mapped to the bosonic ones with Holstein-Primakoff (HP) transformation being the most widely used in magnonics and spintronics literature. However, to make calculations tractable, the square root o...

An overarching question in strongly correlated electron systems is how the landscape of quantum phases emerges from electron correlations. The method of extended dynamical mean field theory (EDMFT) has been developed for clean lattice models of the correlated electrons. For such models, not only onsite Hubbard-like interactions are important, but so are intersite interactions. Importantly, the EDMFT method treats the interplay between the onsite and intersite interactions dyn...

We propose a new, controlled approximation scheme that explicitly includes the effects of non-local correlations on the $D=\infty$ solution. In contrast to usual $D=\infty$, the selfenergy is selfconsistently coupled to two-particle correlation functions. The formalism is general, and is applied to the two-dimensional Falicov-Kimball model. Our approach possesses all the strengths of the large-D solution, and allows one to undertake a systematic study of the effects of incl...

We develop an interpolating self-energy approach to the correlated Kondo-lattice model. The correlation of the band electrons is taken into account by a Hubbard interaction. The method is based on a self-energy ansatz, the structure of which allows to fulfill a maximum number of exactly solvable limiting cases. The parameters of the ansatz are fitted to spectral moments via high-energy expansion of the self-energy. The band electron correlations are taken into account by an e...

Time resolved photoemission spectroscopy is the key technique to probe the real-time non-equilibrium dynamics of electronic states. Theoretical predictions of the time dependent spectral function for realistic systems is however, a challenge. Employing the Kadanoff-Baym equations to find this quantity results in a cubic scaling in the total number of time steps, quickly becoming prohibitive and often fail quantitatively and even qualitatively. In comparison, mean field method...

We present $\vec{k}$-dependent one-particle spectra and corresponding effective bandstructures for the $2d$ Hubbard model calculated within the dynamical molecular field theory (DMFT). This method has proven to yield highly nontrivial results for a variety of quantities but the question remains open to what extent it is applicable to relevant physical situations. To address this problem we compare our results for spectral functions to those obtained by QMC simulations. The ...

A wide range of analytical and numerical methods are available to study quantum spin systems. However, the complexity of spin correlations and interactions limits their applicability to specific temperature ranges. The analytical approach utilizing Green's function has proved advantageous, as it allows for formulation without restrictions on the presence of long-range order and facilitates estimation of the spin excitation spectrum and thermodynamic quantities across the enti...

We review various theoretical methods that have been used in recent years to calculate dynamical correlation functions of many-body systems. Time-dependent correlation functions and their associated frequency spectral densities are the quantities of interest, for they play a central role in both the theoretical and experimental understanding of dynamic properties. The calculation of the relaxation function is rather difficult in most cases of interest, except for a few exampl...

We present a spin-rotation-invariant Green-function theory for the dynamic spin susceptibility in the spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic t-J Heisenberg model on the honeycomb lattice. Employing a generalized mean-field approximation for arbitrary temperatures and hole dopings, the electronic spectrum of excitations, the spin-excitation spectrum and thermodynamic quantities (two-spin correlation functions, staggered magnetization, magnetic susceptibility, correlation length) are calcu...
