Hund’s Rule and Metallic Ferromagnetism
نویسنده
چکیده
We study tight-binding models of itinerant electrons in two different bands, with effective on-site interactions expressing Coulomb repulsion and Hund’s rule. We prove that, for sufficiently large on-site exchange anisotropy, all ground states show metallic ferromagnetism: They exhibit a macroscopic magnetization, a macroscopic fraction of the electrons is spatially delocalized, and there is no energy gap for kinetic excitations.

Metallic Ferromagnetism - an Electronic Correlation Phenomenon
New insights into the microscopic origin of itinerant ferromagnetism were recently gained from investigations of electronic lattice models within dynamical meanfield theory (DMFT). In particular, it is now established that even in the one-band Hubbard model metallic ferromagnetism is stable at intermediate values of the interaction U and density n on regular, frustrated lattices. Furthermore, b...
متن کاملTheory on the Itinerant Ferromagnetism in the 3d-transition metal systems
Keeping nickel, cobalt and iron in mind, we investigate the origin of the itinerant ferromagnetism. Recent experiments show that the systems should be in an intermediate coupling regime, where the band width and the interaction energy are of the same order of magnitudes. To treat such a situation, we generalize the Gutzwiller approximation. In that, we take account of the effect of the band deg...
متن کاملCoexistence of spin-triplet superconductivity and ferromagnetism induced by the Hund’s rule exchange
We discuss general implications of the local spin-triplet pairing among correlated fermions that is induced by the Hund’s rule coupling in orbitally degenerate systems. The quasiparticle energies, the magnetic moment, and the superconducting gap are determined for principal superconducting phases, in the situation with the exchange field induced by both the local Coulomb and the Hund’s rule exc...
متن کاملFerromagnetism in a Realistic Two-Band Model: A Slave-Boson Study
Using a slave boson representation of multi-band Hubbard models, we investigate a two-band model relevant to layered perovskites in the vicinity of half-filling. Beside the strong influence of the Hund’s rule coupling, we obtain that the phase diagram separates into two regions: a weak to moderate coupling region where the effective mass is weakly renormalized, and a strong coupling regime wher...
متن کاملFerromagnetism in single-band Hubbard models with a partially flat band
A Hubbard model with a single, partially flat band has ferromagnetic ground states. It is shown that local stability of ferromagnetism implies its global stability in such a model: The model has only ferromagnetic ground states if there are no single spin-flip ground states. Since a single-band Hubbard model away from half filling describes a metal, this result may open a route to metallic ferr...
