Abstract

We report a density-matrix renormalization group study of the tt-JJ model with nearest (t1t_1 & J1J_1) and next-nearest (t2t_2 & J2J_2) interactions on a 4-leg cylinder with concentration δ=1/8\delta=1/8 of doped holes. We observe an astonishingly complex interplay between uniform dd-wave superconductivity (SC) and strong spin and charge density wave ordering tendencies (SDW and CDW). Depending on parameters, the CDWs can be commensurate with period 4 or 8. By comparing the charge ordering vectors with 2kF2 k_F, we rule out Fermi surface nesting-induced density wave order in our model. Magnetic frustration (i.e. J2/J11/2J_2/J_1 \sim 1/2) significantly quenches SDW correlations with little effect on the CDW. Typically, the SC order is strongly modulated at the CDW ordering vector and exhibits dd-wave symmetry around the cylinder. There is no evidence of a near-degenerate tendency to pair-density wave (PDW) ordering, charge 4e SC, or orbital current order.
