چکیده
Two-leg t − J ladders are investigated in the framework of a combination of the phase string formulation and bond-operator representation. We develope a mean-field theory in the strong rung interaction regime, i.e. J ⊥ ≫ J, t, which provides a unified description of the undoped insulating phase and the low doping phase — the so-called C1S0 phase. Both of them are characterized by the resonating-valence-bond (RVB) order parameter, with gap opened up in all spin excitations. The ground state of the doped phase is intrinsi-cally a superconductor with a d-wave symmetry, which is driven by the RVB correlations. The ground-state energy is in good agreement with numerical results. Phase separation is shown to occur beyond some critical value of J/t for given doping concentration. We also show that the spin gap in the doped phase is determined by quasi-particle-like excitations. The local structure of hole pairs as well as the spectra of various spin and charge modes are analyzed in comparison with other approaches.

Using density matrix renormalization group techniques, we have studied the ground state of the 4-leg t-J ladder doped near half-filling. Depending upon J/t and the hole doping x, three types of ground state phases are found: (1) a phase containing d x 2 −y 2 pairs; (2) a striped CDW domain-wall phase, and (3) a phase separated regime. A CDW domain-wall consists of fluctuating hole pairs and thi...

We study the weakly-interacting Bose gas in both two and three dimensions using a variational approach. In particular we construct the thermodynamic potential of the gas to within ladder approximation and find by minimization an accurate mean-field description of the dilute Bose gas. Using spin-polarized atomic hydrogen as a specific example, we obtain an improved description of the Bose-Einste...

Studies of the t-J two-leg ladder via series expansions Abstract Series expansions at T = 0 are used to study properties of the half-filled t-J ladder doped with one or two holes, and at quarter filling. Dispersion curves are obtained for one-hole symmetric and antisymmetric (bonding and antibonding) excitations and for the two-hole bound state. The line in the phase diagram that separates boun...

We show that a 2-leg ladder hamiltonian introduced recently by Albeverio and Fei can be made to satisfy the Hecke algebra. As a result we have found an equivalent representation of the eigenspectrum in terms of the spin-1 2 antiferromagnetic XXZ chain at ∆ = − 5 3. The values of thermodynamic quantities such as the ground state energy and mass gap follow from the known XXZ results.
