Itinerant-localized model of strongly correlated electrons: Fermi surface reconstruction

Strongly correlated electrons

Determining the underlying Fermi surface of strongly correlated superconductors.

The notion of a Fermi surface (FS) is one of the most ingenious concepts developed by solid-state physicists during the past century. It plays a central role in our understanding of interacting electron systems. Extraordinary efforts have been undertaken, by both experiment and theory, to reveal the FS of the high-temperature superconductors, the most prominent class of strongly correlated supe...

Strongly Correlated Electrons in Solids

Most emergent properties of the materials discovered since the 1980s are related to the existence of electronelectron interactions which are large with respect to the kinetic energies and could not be thoroughly studied before. The occurrence of metal insulator transitions, of exotic magnetic and/or superconducting properties in many new compounds have stimulated a large series of experimental ...

Staggered flux phase in a model of strongly correlated electrons.

We present numerical evidence for the existence of a staggered flux (SF) phase in the half-filled two-leg t-U-V-J ladder, with true long-range order in the countercirculating currents. The density-matrix renormalization-group finite-size scaling approach, generalized to describe complex-valued Hamil-tonians and wave functions, is employed. The SF phase exhibits robust currents at intermediate v...

Fermi–linearization Scheme for Itinerant Electrons with Clifford Variables

We propose here an alternative interpretation of the fermi-linarization approach to interacting electron systems, based on the requirement that the coefficients of the linearized operators are Clifford-like variables, whose anticommutator equals an unknown constant c. We apply the approximation to the Falicov-Kimball model, explicitly solving the self-consistency equation for the unknown, which...
