Abstract

Recently, robust -wave superconductive (SC) order has been unveiled in the ground state of the 2D -- model -- with both nearest-neighbor () and next-nearest-neighbor () hoppings -- by density matrix renormalization group studies. However, there is currently a debate on whether the -wave SC holds up strong on both and cases for the -- model, which correspond to the electron- and hole-doped sides of the cuprate phase diagram, respectively. Here we exploit state-of-the-art thermal tensor network approach to accurately obtain the phase diagram of the -- model on cylinders with widths up to and down to low temperature as , pushing the boundaries of contemporary finite- calculations. For , we find a dome-like SC regime with a diverging -wave pairing susceptibility, below a characteristic temperature . Near optimal doping, reaches its highest value of about . Above yet below a higher crossover temperature , the magnetic susceptibility becomes suppressed, which can be related to the onset of pseudogap (PG) behaviors. On the other hand, for we find the pairing correlations are much weaker, although there exhibits a node-antinode structure in the PG regime as observed in the hole-doped cuprates. The thermal tensor network calculations of the -- model underscore both the similarities and differences in the finite-temperature phase diagram between the fundamental model and cuprates, yielding unique insights into their intricate behaviors.
