Article: The magnetic field induced phase separation in a model of a superconductor with local electron pairing.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We have studied the extended Hubbard model with pair hopping in the atomic limit for arbitrary electron density and chemical potential and focus on paramagnetic effects of the external magnetic field. The Hamiltonian considered consists of (i) the effective on-site interaction U and (ii) the intersite charge exchange interactions I, determining the hopping of electron pairs between nearest-neighbour sites. The phase diagrams and thermodynamic properties of this model have been determined within the variational approach (VA), which treats the on-site interaction term exactly and the intersite interactions within the mean-field approximation. Our investigation of the general case shows that the system can exhibit not only the homogeneous phases-superconducting (SS) and non-ordered (NO)-but also the phase separated states (PS: SS-NO). Depending on the values of interaction parameters, the PS state can occur in higher fields than the SS phase (field induced PS). Some ground state results beyond the VA are also presented.Journal of Physics Condensed Matter 01/2013; 25(6):065603. · 2.55 Impact Factor -

ABSTRACT: We have studied the extended Hubbard model with pair hopping in the atomic limit for arbitrary electron density and chemical potential. The Hamiltonian considered consists of (i) the effective on-site interaction U and (ii) the intersite charge exchange interactions I, determining the hopping of electron pairs between nearest-neighbour sites. The model can be treated as a simple effective model of a superconductor with very short coherence length in which electrons are localized and only electron pairs have a possibility of transferring. The phase diagrams and thermodynamic properties of this model have been determined within the variational approach, which treats the on-site interaction term exactly and the intersite interactions within the mean-field approximation. We have also obtained rigorous results for a linear chain (d = 1) in the ground state. Moreover, at T = 0 some results derived within the random phase approximation (and the spin-wave approximation) for d = 2 and 3 lattices and within the low-density expansions for d = 3 lattices are presented. Our investigation of the general case (as a function of the electron concentration n and as a function of the chemical potential μ) shows that, depending on the values of interaction parameters, the system can exhibit not only the homogeneous phases, superconducting (SS) and nonordered (NO), but also the phase separated states (PS: SS-NO). The system considered exhibits interesting multicritical behaviour including tricritical points.Journal of Physics Condensed Matter 04/2012; 24(21):215601. · 2.55 Impact Factor -
Article: On the phase diagram of the zero-bandwidth extended Hubbard model with intersite magnetic interactions for strong on-site repulsion limit
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this report we have analyzed a simple effective model for a description of magnetically ordered insulators. The Hamiltonian considered consists of the effective on-site interaction (U) and the intersite Ising-like magnetic exchange interaction (J) between nearest neighbors. For the first time the phase diagrams of this model have been determined within Monte Carlo simulation on 2D-square lattice. They have been compared with results obtained within variational approach, which treats the on-site term exactly and the intersite interactions within mean-field approximation. We show within both approaches that, depending on the values of interaction parameters and the electron concentration, the system can exhibit not only homogeneous phases: (anti-)ferromagnetic (F) and nonordered (NO), but also phase separated states (PS: F-NO).09/2011; -
Article: Interplay between charge and magnetic orderings in the zero-bandwidth limit of the extended Hubbard model for strong on-site repulsion
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A simple effective model of charge ordered and (or) magnetically ordered insulators is studied. The tight binding Hamiltonian analyzed consists of (i) the effective on-site interaction U, (ii) the intersite density-density interaction W and (iii) intersite magnetic exchange interaction Jz (or Jxy) between nearest-neighbors. The intersite interaction are treated within the mean-field approximation. One shows that the systems considered can exhibit very interesting multicritical behaviors, including among others bicritical, tricritical, tetracritical and critical end points. The analysis of the model has been performed for an arbitrary electron concentration as well as an arbitrary chemical potential in the limit of strong on-site repulsion. The phase diagrams obtained in such a case are shown to consist of at least 9 different states, including four homogenous phases: nonordered (NO), ferromagnetic (F), charge ordered (CO), ferrimagnetic (intermediate, I) and five types of phase separation: NO-NO, F-NO, F-F, CO-F, CO-I.08/2011; -
Article: Stable and metastable phases in the atomic limit of the extended Hubbard model with intersite density-density interactions
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We have studied a simple effective model of charge ordered insulators. The tight binding Hamiltonian consists of the effective on-site interaction U and the intersite density-density interaction Wij (both: nearest-neighbor and next-nearest-neighbor). In the analysis of the phase diagrams and thermodynamic properties of this model we have adopted the variational approach, which treats the on-site interaction term exactly and the intersite interactions within the mean-field approximation. Our investigations of the general case (as a function of the electron concentration) have shown that the system exhibits various critical behaviors including among others bicritical, tricritical, critical-end and isolated critical points. In this report we concentrate on the metastable phases and transitions between them. One finds that the first- and second order transitions between metastable phases can exist in the system. These transitions occur in the neighborhood of first as well as second order transitions between stable phases. For the case of on-site attraction the regions of metastable homogeneous phases occurrence inside the ranges of phase separated states stability have been also determined.08/2011; -
Article: The effects of the next-nearest-neighbour density-density interaction in the atomic limit of the extended Hubbard model.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We have studied the extended Hubbard model in the atomic limit. The Hamiltonian analysed consists of the effective on-site interaction U and the intersite density-density interactions W(ij) (both nearest-neighbour and next-nearest-neighbour). The model can be considered as a simple effective model of charge ordered insulators. The phase diagrams and thermodynamic properties of this system have been determined within the variational approach, which treats the on-site interaction term exactly and the intersite interactions within the mean-field approximation. Our investigation of the general case taking into account for the first time the effects of longer-ranged density-density interaction (repulsive and attractive) as well as possible phase separations shows that, depending on the values of the interaction parameters and the electron concentration, the system can exhibit not only several homogeneous charge ordered (CO) phases, but also various phase separated states (CO-CO and CO-nonordered). One finds that the model considered exhibits very interesting multicritical behaviours and features, including bicritical, tricritical, and critical end points and isolated critical points.Journal of Physics Condensed Matter 03/2011; 23(10):105601. · 2.55 Impact Factor -

Article: Effects of diagonal disorder on charge density wave and superconductivity in local pair systems
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We analyse the influence of diagonal disorder (random site energy) on charge density wave (CDW) and superconductivity (SS) in local pair systems which are described by the model of hard core charged bosons on a lattice. This problem was previously studied within the mean field approximation for the case of half-filled band (n=1). Here we extend that investigation to the case of arbitrary particle concentration (0<n<2) and examine the phase diagrams of the model and the behaviour of superfluid density (ρs) as a function of n and the increasing disorder. Depending on the strength of random on-site energies, the intersite density–density repulsion and the concentration, the model can exhibit several various phases, including homogeneous phases: CDW, SS and Bose-glass (NO) as well as the phase separated states: CDW–SS, CDW–NO and particle droplets. The obtained results for SS phase are in qualitative agreement with the available Monte-Carlo calculations for two-dimensional lattice.Also, in a definite range of parameters, the system exhibits the phenomena which we call a disorder induced superconductivity and a disorder induced charge ordering.Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications.
