From Slater to Mott-Heisenberg physics: The antiferromagnetic phase of the Hubbard model

We study the optical conductivity of the one-band Hubbard model in the Néel state at half filling at T=0 using the dynamical mean-field theory. For small values of the Coulomb parameter clear signatures of a Slater insulator expected from a weak-coupling theory are found, while the strongly correlated system can be well described in terms of a Mott-Heisenberg picture. However, in contrast to the paramagnet, we do not find any evidence for a transition between these two limiting cases but rather a smooth crossover as a function of the Coulomb interaction.

Kondo screening in d-wave superconductors in a Zeeman field and implications for STM spectra of Zn-doped cuprates

We consider the screening of an impurity moment in a d-wave superconductor under the influence of a Zeeman magnetic field. Using the Numerical Renormalization Group technique, we investigate the resulting pseudogap Kondo problem, in particular the field-induced crossover behavior in the vicinity of the zero-field boundary quantum phase transition. The impurity spectral function and the resulting changes in the local host density of states are calculated, giving specific predictions for high-field STM measurements on impurity-doped cuprates.
