Charge transport in the Hubbard model at high temperatures: triangular versus square lattice

High-temperature bad-metal transport has been recently studied both theoretically and in experiments as one of the key signatures of strong electronic correlations. Here we use the dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) and its cluster extensions, as well as the finite-temperature Lanczos method (FTLM) to explore the influence of lattice frustration on the thermodynamic and transport properties of the Hubbard model at high temperatures. We consider the triangular and the square lattice at half-filling and at 15\% hole-doping. We find that for $T \gtrsim 1.5t$ the self-energy becomes practically local, while the finite-size effects become small at lattice-size $4 \times 4$ for both lattice types and doping levels. The vertex corrections to optical conductivity, which are significant on the square lattice even at high temperatures, contribute less on the triangular lattice. We find approximately linear temperature dependence of dc resistivity in doped Mott insulator for both types of lattices.

Real-space dynamical mean-field theory of Friedel oscillations in strongly correlated electron systems

We study Friedel oscillations and screening effects of the impurity potential in the Hubbard model. Electronic correlations are accounted for by solving the real-space dynamical mean-field theory equations using the continuous time quantum Monte-Carlo simulations at finite temperatures and using a homogeneous self-energy approximation with the numerical renormalization group at zero temperature. We find that in the Fermi liquid phase both the amplitudes of Friedel oscillations and the screening charge decrease with increasing the interaction and follow the behavior of the Fermi liquid renormalization factor. Inside the Mott insulator regime the Friedel oscillations are absent but the residual screening charge remains finite.

Multitude of phases in correlated lattice fermion systems with spin-dependent disorder

The magnetic phases induced by the interplay between disorder acting only on particles with a given spin projection ("spin-dependent disorder") and a local repulsive interaction is explored. To this end the magnetic ground state phase diagram of the Hubbard model at half-filling is computed within dynamical mean-field theory combined with the geometric average over disorder, which is able to describe Anderson localization. Five distinct phases are identified: a ferromagnetically polarized metal, two types of insulators, and two types of spin-selective localized phases. The latter four phases possess different long-range order of the spins. The predicted phase diagram may be tested experimentally using cold fermions in optical lattices subject to spin-dependent random potentials.

Spin-selective localization of correlated lattice fermions

The interplay between local, repulsive interactions and disorder acting only on one spin orientation of lattice fermions ("spin-dependent disorder") is investigated. The nonmagnetic disorder vs. interaction phase diagram is computed using Dynamical Mean-Field Theory in combination with the geometric average over disorder. The latter determines the typical local density of states and is therefore sensitive to Anderson localization. The effect of spin-dependent disorder is found to be very different from that of conventional disorder. In particular, it destabilizes the metallic solution and leads to a novel spin-selective, localized phase at weak interactions and strong disorder.

Thermodynamic properties of correlated fermions in lattices with spin-dependent disorder

Motivated by the rapidly growing possibilities for experiments with ultracold atoms in optical lattices we investigate the thermodynamic properties of correlated lattice fermions in the presence of an external spin-dependent random potential. The corresponding model, a Hubbard model with spin-dependent local random potentials, is solved within dynamical mean-field theory. This allows us to present a comprehensive picture of the thermodynamic properties of this system. In particular, we show that for a fixed total number of fermions spin-dependent disorder induces a magnetic polarization. The magnetic response of the polarized system differs from that of a system with conventional disorder.
