Pseudogaps and their Interplay with Magnetic Excitations in the doped 2D Hubbard Model

In the half-filled one-orbital Hubbard model on a square lattice, we study the effect of next-nearest neighbor hopping on the single-particle spectral function at finite temperature using an exact-diagonalization + Monte-Carlo based approach to the simulation process. We find that the pseudogap-like dip, existing in the density of states in between the N\'{e}el temperature $T_N$ and a relatively higher temperature $T^*$, is accompanied with a significant asymmetry in the hole...

Cluster perturbation theory is applied to the two-dimensional Hubbard $t-t'-t''-U$ model to obtain doping and temperature dependent electronic spectral function with $4 \times 4$ and 12-site clusters. It is shown that evolution of the pseudogap and electronic dispersion with doping and temperature is similar and in both cases it is significantly influenced by spin-spin short-range correlations. When short-range magnetic order is weakened by doping or temperature and Hubbard-I...

Here we discuss Quantum Monte Carlo results for the magnetic susceptibility, single-particle spectral weight and the irreducible particle-particle interaction vertex of the two-dimensional Hubbard model. In the doped system, as the temperature is lowered below J=4t^2/U, short-range antiferromagnetic correlations develop. These lead to a narrow low-energy quasiparticle band with a large Fermi surface and a particle-particle vertex which increases at large momentum transfer, wh...

A mean field SDW analysis of pseudogap in the underdoped cuprates is proposed on the basis of the $t-t^{\prime}-U$ Hubbard model. The prediction of our theory is consistent with the experiment quite well within the uncertainty of the present experimental measurement. Therefore we argue that the pseudogap phenomenon in the underdoped cuprates can be well explained within the mean field approximation.

Numerical studies of the two-dimensional Hubbard model have shown that it exhibits the basic phenomena seen in the cuprate materials. At half-filling one finds an antiferromagnetic Mott-Hubbard groundstate. When it is doped, a pseudogap appears and at low temperature d-wave pairing and striped states are seen. In addition, there is a delicate balance between these various phases. Here we review evidence for this and then discuss what numerical studies tell us about the struct...

Electron interactions are pivotal for defining the electronic structure of quantum materials. In particular, the strong electron Coulomb repulsion is considered the keystone for describing the emergence of exotic and/or ordered phases of quantum matter as disparate as high-temperature superconductivity and charge- or magnetic-order. However, a comprehensive understanding of fundamental electronic properties of quantum materials is often complicated by the appearance of an eni...

We have generalized the dynamical mean-field theory to study the doping dependence of the crossover from antiferromagnetic to short-range order modelled by an incommensurate spin density wave in the Hubbard model. The local selfenergy which includes spin fluctuations gives quasiparticle weights and spectral properties in good agreement with quantum Monte Carlo and exact diagonalization data in two dimensions. The spectra at finite doping are characterized by a Mott-Hubbard `g...

The pseudogap phenomena have been a long-standing mystery of the cuprate high-temperature superconductors. Unlike the pseudogap in hole-doped cuprates, however, the pseudogap in the electron-doped counterpart has been attributed to band folding due to short-range antiferromagnetic (AFM) order. We performed angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements on electron-doped cuprates showing spin-glass and disordered AFM behaviors at low temperatures, and found that the ga...

The density-of-states (DOS) and one-particle spectral function $\rm A({\bf k}, \omega)$ of the one- and two-orbital models for manganites, the latter with Jahn-Teller phonons, are evaluated using Monte Carlo techniques. Unexpectedly robust pseudogap (PG) features were found at low- and intermediate-temperatures, particularly at or near regimes where phase-separation occurs as $\rm T$$\to$0. The PG follows the chemical potential and it is caused by the formation of ferromagnet...

We consider thermal evolution of the spectral function A(Omega, T) in underdoped cuprates at T >Tc. We find that in the strong coupling limit, the fermionic Green's function near (0,\pi) behaves as G^{-1} (Omega) ~ \sqrt{Omega} in the whole frequency range relevant to photoemission experiments. The analysis of the pairing problem with this form of G yields a leading edge gap in A(\Omega) and a broad maximum at larger frequencies. We find that classical fluctuations predomin...
