DMRG study of the spin gap in a one dimensional Hubbard model: effect of the distant transfer and exchange coupling
Abstract
The spin gap of a one-dimensional repulsive Hubbard model is numerically calculated with the density matrix renormalization group, with a special emphasis on the effect of a next-nearest neighbor hopping (t') and the nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic exchange (J) interaction. At half-filling, a significant spin gap opens if |t'| \simeq |t| and J=0, in agreement with the weak coupling theory, while the gap is strongly suppressed by the introduction of J. On the other hand, the quarter-filled system has very small spin gaps regardless of the values of t' and J. Implications for the CuO_2 chain in Sr_{14}Cu_{24}O_{41} and related materials are discussed.
