Competition between Anderson localization and antiferromagnetism in correlated lattice fermion systems with disorder

arXiv:0810.2958 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.102.146403

Abstract

The magnetic ground state phase diagram of the disordered Hubbard model at half-filling is computed in dynamical mean-field theory supplemented with the spin resolved, typical local density of states. The competition between many-body correlations and disorder is found to stabilize paramagnetic and antiferromagnetic metallic phases at weak interactions. Strong disorder leads to Anderson localization of the electrons and suppresses the antiferromagnetic long-range order. Slater and Heisenberg antiferromagnets respond characteristically different to disorder. The results can be tested with cold fermionic atoms loaded into optical lattices.
