Magnetic Phases of the 2D Hubbard Model at Low Doping
Abstract
We study the equilibrium spin configuration of the 2D Hubbard model at low doping, when a long-range magnetic order is still present. We use the spin-density-wave formalism and examine the two suggested candidates for a ground state: the planar spiral $(π,Q)$ and $(Q,Q)$ states. In a mean-field theory, each of these two states is a ground state in a certain range of parameters. We however show that both states have negative bosonic modes in a transverse channel which implies that the spiral states are in fact unstable (the $(Q,Q)$ state, in addition, has a negative longitudinal stiffness). We searched for a ground state in a parameter range which on a mean-field level favored the $(π,Q)$ phase, and found that the equilibrium spin configuration is noncoplanar. These findings lead to a novel scenario of spin reorientation upon doping in Hubbard antiferromagnets.
