The Two - Dimensional Attractive Hubbard Model: Highly Non-Linear Superconductivity With Sum Rules

Abstract

We use the moment approach of Nolting (exact sum rules) (Z. Physik 255, 25 (1972)) for the attractive Hubbard model in the superconducting phase. Our diagonal and off - diagonal spectral functions are constructed and evaluated with the sum rules. They reduce to the $BCS$ limit for weak interaction. However, the presence of correlations modify the $BCS$ picture dramatically. For example, due to the presence of correlations we have postulated a three - pole ansatz for the diagonal Green function, $G(\vec{k},ω)$, while the off - diagonal one, $B(\vec{k},ω)$, is supposed to have two poles. In the paper we present results for the three spectral weights of the diagonal Green function, $α_j(\vec{k})$, j = 1,2,3. Our results compare reasonably well with more elaborated auto - consistent highly non - linear equations (double fluctuation calculations in the $T-$ Matrix approach of one of the authors). Then, the physical picture which emerges is that the lower Hubbard band is split due to the superconducting gap and the upper Hubbard band remains mostly unmodified.

Spectral Representation for the Effective Macroscopic Response of a Polycrystal: Application to Third-Order Nonlinear Susceptibility

Erratum: In our paper, we show that the spectral representation for isotropic two-component composites also applies to uniaxial polycrystals. We have learned that this result was, in fact, first conjectured by G.W. Milton. While our derivation is more detailed, our result for the spectral function is the same as Milton's. We very much regret not having been aware of this work at the time of writing our paper. Original abstract: We extend the spectral theory used for the calculation of the effective linear response functions of composites to the case of a polycrystalline material with uniaxially anisotropic microscopic symmetry. As an application, we combine these results with a nonlinear decoupling approximation as modified by Ma et al., to calculate the third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility of a uniaxial polycrystal, assuming that the effective dielectric function of the polycrystal can be calculated within the effective-medium approximation.

Towards quantum well hot hole lasers

It should be possible to improve hot-hole laser performance by moving from bulk materials to a quantum well structure. The extra design parameters enable us to alter the band structure by changing the crystal orientation of the growth direction; to use the well width to shift the subband offsets, enabling the effect of the LO phonon scattering cut-off to be controlled; and to use modulation doping to ensure a high hole concentration to increase the gain without the dopants being present in the gain region. We present the first simulations of THz quantum well hot-hole lasers that can produce inversion and optical gain.
