Determination of Fermi surface by charge density correlations

Abstract

The Fermi surface topology in the two-dimensional Hubbard model is particularly relevant for the high-temperature superconductors, whereas its theoretical research encounters with the difficulty of the analytical continuation problem. To this end, we proposed the concept of the momentum-dependent compressibility, defined as the variation of the momentum distribution function with respect to the chemical potential. The surface determined by the maximum of the momentum-dependent compressibility is nearly identical to the Fermi surface in the weakly and intermediate coupling regions according to our numerical results. In the correlated region, this surface also exhibits pocket and arc features, just like the Fermi surface in high-temperature superconductors. Therefore, for theoretical studies, this surface can be used as an alternative to determine the underlying Fermi surface. Considering that the momentum-dependent compressibility is closely related to the charge density correlations, our work also shows a connection between the Fermi surface topology and the charge density fluctuations.
