Research Abstract |
We have carried out quantum and variational Monte Carlo simulations for the Hubbard model and three-band d-p model to clarify the physics of high-temperature superconductors. Numerical studies of the two-dimensional d-p model by using the Gutzwiller ansatz have exhibited that the incommensurate antiferromagnetic state coexists with superconductivity in the under- and lightly doped regions. The phase diagram is consistent with recent experiments for layered high- temperature cuprates. We have also performed a variational Monte Carlo simulation on the two-dimensional t-t'-t"-U Hubbard model with Bi-2212-type band to examine the stability of a 4×4 checkerboard state which has been observed recently by scanning tunneling microscopy in Bi-2212. We have found that the coexistent state of bond-centered four-period diagonal and vertical spin-checkerboard structure characterized by a multi-Q set is stabilized and composed of 4×4 period checkerboard spin modulation. We have proposed a method to evaluate susceptibilities such as the spin susceptibility and pair susceptibility on the basis of quantum Monte Carlo methods and exact diagonalization method. Using quantum Monte Carlo method, we have examined the size dependence of the spin susceptibility at half filling and pair susceptibilities with d- and s-wave symmetries for the repulsive and attractive interactions, respectively. We have shown that the results are consistent with the existence of the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition.
