Loop currents in ladder cuprates: A dynamical mean field theory study

Strongly Correlated Electrons 2020-08-26 v1

Abstract

We investigate the possibility of spontaneous loop currents in the two-leg ladder cuprate Sr14x_{14-x}Cax_xCu24_{24}O41_{41} by applying cluster dynamical mean field theory (CDMFT) to a seven-band Hubbard model for that compound, with an exact diagonalization solver. We sample several values of the local interaction UdU_d and of the Cu-O energy difference EpdE_{pd}, by applying an external field that induces loop currents. We find no instance of spontaneous loop currents once the external field is brought to zero.
