Abstract

We study magnetic properties of the half-filled Hubbard model on the two-dimensional H00H_{00} hexagonal golden-mean quasiperiodic tiling. The tiling is composed of large and small hexagons, and parallelograms, and its vertex model is bipartite with a sublattice imbalance. The tight-binding model on the tiling has macroscopically degenerate states at E=0E = 0. We find the existence of two extended states in one of the sublattices, in addition to confined states in the other. This property is distinct from that of the well-known two-dimensional quasiperiodic tilings such as the Penrose and Ammann-Beenker tilings. Applying the Lieb theorem to the Hubbard model on the tiling, we obtain the exact fraction of the confined states as 1/2τ21/2\tau^2, where τ\tau is the golden mean. This leads to a ferromagnetically ordered state in the weak coupling limit. Increasing the Coulomb interaction, the staggered magnetic moments are induced and gradually increase. Crossover behaviour in the magnetically ordered states is also addressed in terms of perpendicular space analysis.
