Superconductivity, Antiferromagnetism, and Kinetic Correlation in Strongly Correlated Electron Systems

Abstract EN

We investigate the ground state of two-dimensional Hubbard model on the basis of the variational Monte Carlo method.

We use wave functions that include kinetic correlation and doublon-holon correlation beyond the Gutzwiller ansatz.

It is still not clear whether the Hubbard model accounts for high-temperature superconductivity.

The antiferromagnetic correlation plays a key role in the study of pairing mechanism because the superconductive phase exists usually close to the antiferromagnetic phase.

We investigate the stability of the antiferromagnetic state when holes are doped as a function of the Coulomb repulsion U .

We show that the antiferromagnetic correlation is suppressed as U is increased exceeding the bandwidth.

High-temperature superconductivity is possible in this region with enhanced antiferromagnetic spin fluctuation and pairing interaction.
