Mean-Field decoupling of four-fermionic interaction term
Diagonalize full H using guess for these expectation values, calculate them
in terms of the eigenfunctions (and eigenvalues) of H. Modify guess andkeep iterating until guess and calculated values are equal.
Then calculate expectation values self-consistently:
Works well for disordered/inhomogeneous situations
(disorder breaks all symmetries)
Scheme for self-consistent calculation for interacting systemScheme for self-consistent calculation for interacting system::
Justification comes in comparison with other methods, e.g. QMC, ED etc.
See, for example, Chen et al. J. Phys.: Cond. Matter, 20, 345211

Part I:
Anderson-Hubbard model in 2D
![Page 5: Self-consistent Calculations for Inhomogeneous Correlated Systems Amit Ghosal IISER, Kolkata HRI, 12 Nov, 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649f425503460f94c61d0c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Anderson-Hubbard Model
MF decoupling:
with:
Effective Hamiltonian contains expectation valuesof operators with respect to its own eigenstates.
→ Must be calculated in a self-consistent manner
For a system of size N = L X L, there are (3N+1) SC parameters:
2N values of <n > for σ = ↑ and ↓ iσ
N values of h
One value of μ to fix <n>=1 (half-filling)i
(Heiderian & Trivedi, PRL, 2004)
Model parameters: U = 4t, N = 28 X 28, <n>=1

Motivation: 2D Metal-Insulator Transition (2D MIT):
real metals, 2D or not 2D??
For dimension d ≤ 2, ALL non-interacting (single particle) states are localized for arbitrarily small disorder!!
Scaling theory of localization (1979)
Kravchenko, Sarachik, Rep. Prog. Phys. 67, 1 (2004)
• What’s “NEW” ??
strong correlation
disorder?

Clean system (V=0) @ <n>=1 is a Mott insulator (U >> t)
Hallmark of Mott insulator:(a) Mott gap
(b) AFM spin correlation
U = 4t, N = 24 X 24, <n>=1
Anderson-Hubbard Model (contd.)
![Page 8: Self-consistent Calculations for Inhomogeneous Correlated Systems Amit Ghosal IISER, Kolkata HRI, 12 Nov, 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649f425503460f94c61d0c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
How do Mott-gap and AFM order behave as a function of V?
Energy scale for charge fluctuation (gap) ⁓ U
Energy scale for AFM coupling ⁓ t²/U
Expect AFM order tovanish with V before
the gap does!
Surprise!!
Insight comes from spatial correlations ...
![Page 9: Self-consistent Calculations for Inhomogeneous Correlated Systems Amit Ghosal IISER, Kolkata HRI, 12 Nov, 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649f425503460f94c61d0c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Look at the spatial structure / distributions:Staggeredmagnetization
Correlation of AFM sites (m > 0.3)paramagnetic (PM) sites (m < 0.1)with site disorder
AFM in WD regions, singly occupied sitesand large Mott gap
SD regions have low lyingexcitations, 0/2 occupations,AFM vanishes locally.
SD regions grow with V
V=3 t
![Page 10: Self-consistent Calculations for Inhomogeneous Correlated Systems Amit Ghosal IISER, Kolkata HRI, 12 Nov, 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649f425503460f94c61d0c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Why does AFM order survives up to large V?
Percolation-based model is at work for U >> t
sites with Vⁱ < -U/2 → doubly occupied, and with Vⁱ > U/2 → empty
sites with |Vⁱ| < U/2 are singly occupied, and have free spinswith t → 0
Turning on t up to 2nd order leads to AFM order bystandard mechanism of exchange (J modified by V)
→ Fraction of singly occupied (magnetic) sites x = U/2V
AFM vanishes at the critical V when doubly and unoccupied sites percolate!
V = 3.4t consistent with classical percolation of vacancies on a 2D square latticeC2
Condition for AFLRO: x > x ⁓ 0.59 (percolation threshold)c

Screening of strong disorder by interaction:
Why metal in 2D for effective non-interacting disorderd system?
PM sites (SD region) suffer significant screening
Screening of AFM sites (WD region) negligible
Screened potential correlated
Inhomogeneous magnetic field (hⁱ) correlated with disorder

When AFM is allowed to develop self-consistently,<n> reorganizes itself to accommodate AFM.
