We study the charge-density-wave order and its competition with superconductivity in the one-band Hubbard model for high-$T_c$ superconducting cuprates. We use cluster dynamical mean field theory (CDMFT) at $T=0$. The one-band Hubbard model…
The nature of the interplay between superconductivity and magnetism in the cuprates remains one of the fundamental unsolved problems in high temperature superconductivity. Whether and how these two phenomena are interdependent is perhaps…
Motivated by the recent report of broken time-reversal symmetry and zero momentum magnetic scattering in underdoped cuprates, we investigate under which circumstances orbital currents circulating inside a unit cell might be stabilized in…
Dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) provides an optimal local approximation for correlated lattice systems by mapping the lattice onto a self-consistent effective impurity model. To account for the missing long-range correlations, we propose…
Building on work by Florens and Georges, we formulate and study a self-consistent slave rotor mean field theory for strongly correlated systems. This approach views the electron, in the strong correlation regime, as a composite of a neutral…
The Bethe-Ansatz local density approximation (LDA) to lattice density functional theory (LDFT) for the one-dimensional repulsive Hubbard model is extended to current-LDFT (CLDFT). The transport properties of mesoscopic Hubbard rings…
Loop current order has been reported in the pseudogap regime of a few cuprate systems in polarized neutron scattering experiments. Here we study several observable consequences of such order in the d-wave superconducting state at low T. The…
We report the direct observation by inelastic neutron scattering experiments of a spin triplet of magnetic excitations in the response associated with the ladders in the composite cuprate Sr14Cu24O41. This appears as a peak at q_{Q1D}=\pi…
In the nested limit of the spin-fermion model for the cuprates, one-dimensional physics in the form of half-filled two-leg ladders emerges. We show that the renormalization group flow of the corresponding ladder is towards the d-Mott phase,…
We consider a multiband charge transfer model for a single spin ladder describing the holes in Sr$_{14-x}$Ca$_x$Cu$_{24}$O$_{41}$. Using Hartree-Fock approximation we show how the charge density wave, with its periodicity dependent on…
The interplay between spontaneous symmetry breaking in many-body systems, the wavelike nature of quantum particles and lattice effects produces an extraordinary behavior of the chiral current of bosonic particles in the presence of a…
We have performed inelastic neutron scattering on a single crystal sample of Sr14Cu24O41 to study the spin dynamics of the Cu2O3 spin ladder layers, and CuO2 chains. Data collected with incident energies of 50 meV, 200 meV, 350 meV and 500…
We investigate electronic properties of the doped two-leg Hubbard ladder with both the onsite and the nearest-neighbor Coulomb repulsions, by using the the weak-coupling renormalization-group method. It is shown that, for strong…
We study the long wavelength limit of a spin 1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnetic two-leg ladder, treating the interchain coupling in a non-perturbative way. We perform a mean field analysis and then include exactly the fluctuations. This…
More than three decades after the discovery of superconductivity (SC) in the cuprates, the nature of the "normal" state and the mechanism of SC remain mysterious. One popular theoretical approach has been to treat the CuO$_2$ layer as…
In the present paper, we propose a mean field approach for spin ladders based upon the Jordan-Wigner transformation along an elaborately ordered path. We show on the mean field level that ladders with even number legs open a energy gap in…
A new approach is proposed which encompasses the dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) for strongly correlated electron systems and the self-consistent renormalization (SCR) theory of spin fluctuations. The latter is incorporated into DMFT as…
We study the electronic structure of the ladder compounds (SrCa)CuO 14-24-41 and SrCuO 123. LDA calculations for both give similar Cu 3d-bands near the Fermi energy. The hopping parameters estimated by fitting LDA energy bands show a strong…
Short-range charge-density wave correlations are ubiquitous in underdoped cuprates. They are largely confined to the copper-oxygen planes and typically oscillate out of phase from one unit cell to the next in the c-direction. Recently, it…
The normal phase of the high-$T_c$ cuprates is apparently not described by Fermi liquid theory. It has been proposed that a dynamically generated gauge field must appear in the effective field theory. Even a simple spinon-gauge system is…
