Pairing and charge distribution in Emery ladders preserving the ratio of Cu to O atoms

We study the Emery model (three-band Hubbard model) for superconducting cuprates on three distinct ladder-like lattices that are supercells of the CuO$_2$ plane and thus preserve the ratio of copper to oxygen atoms. Using the density-matrix renormalization group method we confirm that these Emery ladders are charge-transfer insulators for the hole concentration corresponding to undoped cuprates but become Luther-Emery liquids with enhanced pairing correlations upon doping. The preservation of the Cu to O ratio allows us to study the distribution of charges between these atoms in the Luther-Emery phase. We show that these Emery ladders can describe the relations between charge distribution, pairing strength, and interactions that have been observed in the Emery model on two-dimensional clusters and in experiments.

Influence of oxygen orbitals and boundary conditions on the pairing behavior in the Emery model for doped ladders

We investigate the Emery model on several ladder-like lattices including two legs of copper d-orbitals and various numbers of oxygen p-orbitals. Pair binding energy, pair spatial structure, density distribution, and pairing correlation functions are calculated using the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG). We show that a Luther-Emery phase with enhanced pairing correlations can be found for hole doping as well as for electron doping with realistic model parameters. Ladder properties depend sensitively on model parameters, the oxygen p-orbitals taken into account, and boundary conditions. The pair binding energy is a more reliable quantity than correlation functions for studying pairing in ladders. Overall, our results for two-leg Emery ladders support the possibility of superconductivity in the hole-doped 2D model. The issue is rather to determine which of the various ladder structures and model parameters are appropriate to approximate the two-dimensional cuprates.

Pair binding and enhancement of pairing correlations in asymmetric Hubbard ladders

Asymmetric two-leg Hubbard ladders with different on-site interactions $U_y$ and hoppings $t_y$ on each leg are investigated using the density matrix renormalization group method and exact diagonalizations. The pairing found in symmetric ladders is robust against the introduction of the leg asymmetry. When studying pairing, one-band Hubbard ladder models are better described as one-dimensional correlated two-band models than as sublattices of higher dimensional systems. The asymmetric Hubbard ladder provides us with a simple model for studying pairing in the crossover regime between charge transfer and Mott insulators.
