Understanding High-Temperature Superconductors with Quantum Cluster Theories
نویسنده
چکیده
Quantum cluster theories are a set of approaches for the theory of correlated and disordered lattice systems, which treat correlations within the cluster explicitly, and correlations at longer length scales either perturbatively or within a mean-field approximation. These methods become exact when the cluster size diverges, and most recover the corresponding (dynamical) mean-field approximation when the cluster size becomes one. Here we will review systematic dynamical cluster simulations of the two-dimensional Hubbard model, that display phenomena remarkably similar to those found in the cuprates, including antiferromagnetism, superconductivity and pseudogap behavior. We will then discuss results for the structure of the pairing mechanism in this model, obtained from a combination of dynamical cluster results and diagrammatic techniques.

Strong-coupling Theory of High-temperature Superconductivity
High-temperature superconductivity has transformed the landscape of solid state science, leading to the discovery of new classes of materials, states of matter, and concepts. However, despite being over a quarter of a century since its discovery, there is still no single accepted theory to explain its origin. This book presents one approach, the strong-coupling or bipolaron theory, which propos...
متن کامل99 2 Blockspin Cluster Algorithms for Quantum Spin Systems
Cluster algorithms are developed for simulating quantum spin systems like the one-and two-dimensional Heisenberg ferro-and anti-ferromagnets. The corresponding two-and three-dimensional classical spin models with four-spin couplings are maped to blockspin models with two-blockspin interactions. Clusters of blockspins are updated collectively. The efficiency of the method is investigated in deta...

متن کاملHigh Temperature Relaxational Dynamics in Low-dimensional Quantum Field Theories
This paper presents a unified perspective on the results of two recent works (C. Buragohain and S. Sachdev cond-mat/9811083 and S. Sachdev condmat/9810399) along with additional background. We describe the low frequency, non-zero temperature, order parameter relaxational dynamics of a number of systems in the vicinity of a quantum critical point. The dynamical correlations are properties of the...
متن کاملQuantum oscillations probe the normal electronic states of novel superconductors.
In 2008, new classes of high-temperature superconductors containing iron have been discovered. These iron pnictides offer a new area of exploration and understanding of superconductivity. Quantum oscillations is a bulk probe that allows us to map out the full Fermi surface of a superconducting system in its normal metallic state. These oscillations are determined by the Landau quantization in h...
