Abstract

We report results of large scale ground state density matrix renormalization group(DMRG) calculations on tt-tt'-JJ cylinders with circumferences 6 and 8. We determine a rough phase diagram which appears to approximate the 2D system. While for many properties, positive and negative tt' values (t/t=±0.2t'/t = \pm 0.2) appear to correspond to electron and hole doped cuprate systems, respectively, the behavior of superconductivity itself shows an inconsistency between the model and the materials. The t<0t'<0 (hole doped) region shows antiferromagnetism limited to very low doping, stripes more generally, and the familiar Fermi-surface of the hole doped cuprates. However, we find t<0t'<0 strongly suppresses superconductivity. The t>0t'>0 (electron doped) region shows the expected circular Fermi pocket of holes around the (π,π)(\pi,\pi) point and a broad low-doped region of coexisting antiferromagnetism and dd-wave pairing with a strong triplet pp component at wave-vector (π,π)(\pi,\pi) induced by the antiferromagnetism and dd-wave pairing. The pairing for the electron low-doped system with t>0t'>0 is strong and unambiguous in the DMRG simulations. At larger doping another broad region with stripes in addition to weaker dd-wave pairing and striped pp-wave pairing appears. In a small doping region near x=0.08x=0.08 for t0.2t'\sim-0.2, we find a new type of stripe involving unpaired holes located predominantly on chains spaced three lattice spacings apart. The undoped two-leg ladder regions in between mimic the short-ranged spin correlations seen in two-leg Heisenberg ladders.
