RESUMO
Constrained-path quantum Monte Carlo method is applied to study the pairing correlation in the checkerboard Hubbard model with inhomogeneous nearest-neighbor hopping at a low doping of holes. The inhomogeneous hopping can enhance the pairing correlation among different plaquette clusters. An obvious maximum for the pairing correlation is observed at a certain inhomogeneous hopping. The cluster pairing correlation shows the strongest long-range behavior at the optimal inhomogeneity. The enhancement of cluster pairing correlation might be associated with the transition of the Fermi surface structure. This work indicates that the inhomogeneous hopping could tailor the pairing correlation effectively.
RESUMO
To understand the interplay between nematic fluctuation and superconductivity in iron-based superconductors, we performed a systematic study of the realistic two-orbital Hubbard model at intermedium correlation regimes by using the constrained-path quantum Monte Carlo method. Our numerical results showed that the on-site nematic interaction induces a strong enhancement of nematic fluctuations at various momentums, especially at ([Formula: see text]). Simultaneously, it was found that the on-site nematic interaction suppresses the [Formula: see text] antiferromagnetic order and long-range electron pairing correlations for dominant pairing channels. Our findings suggest that on-site nematic fluctuation seems to compete with superconductivity in iron-based superconductors.
RESUMO
A recently introduced one-dimensional three-orbital Hubbard model displays orbital-selective Mott phases with exotic spin arrangements such as spin block states [J. Rincón et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 112, 106405 (2014)PRLTAO0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.112.106405]. In this publication we show that the constrained-path quantum Monte Carlo (CPQMC) technique can accurately reproduce the phase diagram of this multiorbital one-dimensional model, paving the way to future CPQMC studies in systems with more challenging geometries, such as ladders and planes. The success of this approach relies on using the Hartree-Fock technique to prepare the trial states needed in CPQMC. We also study a simplified version of the model where the pair-hopping term is neglected and the Hund coupling is restricted to its Ising component. The corresponding phase diagrams are shown to be only mildly affected by the absence of these technically difficult-to-implement terms. This is confirmed by additional density matrix renormalization group and determinant quantum Monte Carlo calculations carried out for the same simplified model, with the latter displaying only mild fermion sign problems. We conclude that these methods are able to capture quantitatively the rich physics of the several orbital-selective Mott phases (OSMP) displayed by this model, thus enabling computational studies of the OSMP regime in higher dimensions, beyond static or dynamic mean-field approximations.
RESUMO
Using the constrained-path Monte Carlo method, a two-orbital model for the pnictide superconductors is studied at half filling and in both the electron- and hole-doped cases. At half filling, a stable (π, 0)/(0, π) magnetic order is explicitly observed and the system tends to be in an orthomagnetic order rather than the striped antiferromagnetic order on increasing the Coulomb repulsion U. In the electron-doped case, the (π, 0)/(0, π) magnetic order is enhanced upon doping and suppressed eventually and a s(±) pairing state dominates all the possible nearest-neighbour-bond pairings. Whereas in the hole-doped case, the magnetic order is straightforwardly suppressed and two nearly degenerate A(1g) and B(1g) intraband pairings become the dominant ones.
