Abstract

We investigate, using the density matrix renormalization group, the evolution of the Nagaoka state with tt' hoppings that frustrate the hole kinetic energy in the U=U=\infty Hubbard model on the anisotropic triangular lattice and the square lattice with second-nearest neighbor hoppings. We find that the Nagaoka ferromagnet survives up to a rather small tc/t0.2.t'_c/t \sim 0.2. At this critical value, there is a transition to an antiferromagnetic phase, that depends on the lattice: a Q=(Q,0){\bf Q}=(Q,0) spiral order, that continuously evolves with tt', for the triangular lattice, and the usual Q=(π,π){\bf Q}=(\pi,\pi) N\'eel order for the square lattice. Remarkably, the local magnetization takes its classical value for all considered tt' (t/t1t'/t \le 1). Our results show that the recently found classical kinetic antiferromagnetism, a perfect counterpart of Nagaoka ferromagnetism, is a generic phenomenon in these kinetically frustrated electronic systems.
