Phase diagram of the J-Jd Heisenberg model on the maple leaf lattice: Neural networks and density matrix renormalization group

We microscopically analyze the nearest-neighbor Heisenberg model on the maple leaf lattice through neural quantum state (NQS) and infinite density matrix renormalization group (iDMRG) methods. Embarking to parameter regimes beyond the exact dimer singlet g ...

Maple leaf antiferromagnet in a magnetic field

Frédéric Mila, Pratyay Ghosh, Ronny Thomale

We analyze the quantum antiferromagnet on the maple leaf lattice in the presence of a magnetic field. Starting from its exact dimer ground state and for a magnetic field strength of the order of the local dimer spin-exchange coupling, we perform a strong-c ...

Theory of superconductivity in a three-orbital model of Sr2RuO4

Ronny Thomale, Yong Yang

In conventional and high transition temperature copper oxide and iron pnictide superconductors, the Cooper pairs all have even parity. As a rare exception, Sr2RuO4 is the first prime candidate for topological chiral p-wave superconductivity, which has time ...

Correlations and renormalization of the electron-phonon coupling in the honeycomb Hubbard ladder and superconductivity in polyacene

Ronny Thomale

We have performed extensive density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) studies of the Hubbard model on a honeycomb ladder. The band structure (with Hubbard U = 0) exhibits an unusual quadratic band touching at half-filling, which is associated with a quan ...

Doping evolution of the oxygen K-edge x-ray absorption spectra of cuprate superconductors using a three-orbital Hubbard model

Ronny Thomale

We study oxygen K-edge x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and investigate the validity of the Zhang-Rice singlet (ZRS) picture in overdoped cuprate superconductors. Using large-scale exact diagonalization of the three-orbital Hubbard model, we observe the ...

Pseudopotential formalism for fractional Chern insulators

Ronny Thomale

Recently, generalizations of fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states known as fractional quantum anomalous Hall or, equivalently, fractional Chern insulators states, have been realized in lattice models. Ideal wave functions such as the Laughlin wave function ...

Model Evidence of an Anisotropic Chiral d plus id-Wave Pairing State for the Water-Intercalated NaxCoO2 center dot yH(2)O Superconductor

Ronny Thomale

Since its discovery, the superconducting phase in water-intercalated sodium cobaltates NaxCoO2 center dot yH(2)O (x similar to 0.3, y similar to 1.3) has posed fundamental challenges in terms of experimental investigation and theoretical understanding. By ...

Unconventional Fermi Surface Instabilities in the Kagome Hubbard Model

Ronny Thomale

We investigate the competing Fermi surface instabilities in the kagome tight-binding model. Specifically, we consider on-site and short-range Hubbard interactions in the vicinity of van Hove filling of the dispersive kagome bands where the fermiology promo ...

Particle-hole condensates of higher angular momentum in hexagonal systems

Ronny Thomale

Hexagonal lattice systems (e.g., triangular, honeycomb, kagome) possess a multidimensional irreducible representation corresponding to d(x2-y2) and d(xy) symmetry. Consequently, various unconventional phases that combine these d-wave representations can oc ...

Band structure effects on the superconductivity in Hubbard models

Ronny Thomale

We study the influence of the band structure on the symmetry and superconducting transition temperature in the (solvable) weak-coupling limit of the repulsive Hubbard model. Among other results we find that (1) as a function of increasing nematicity, start ...
