Abstract

The square-lattice Hubbard and closely related - models are considered as basic paradigms for understanding strong correlation effects and unconventional superconductivity (SC). Recent large-scale density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) simulations on the extended - model have identified -wave SC on the electron-doped side (with the next-nearest-neighbor hopping ) but a dominant charge density wave (CDW) order on the hole-doped side (), which is inconsistent with the SC of hole-doped cuprate compounds. We re-examine the ground-state phase diagram of the extended - model by employing the state-of-the-art DMRG calculations with much enhanced bond dimensions, allowing more accurate determination of the ground state. On 6-leg cylinders, while different CDW phases are identified on the hole-doped side for the doping range , a SC phase emerges at a lower doping regime, with algebraically decaying pairing correlations and -wave symmetry. On the wider 8-leg systems, the -wave SC also emerges on the hole-doped side at the optimal doping, demonstrating the winning of SC over CDW by increasing the system width. Our results not only suggest a new path to SC in general - models through weakening the competing charge orders, but also provide a unified understanding on the SC of both hole- and electron-doped cuprate superconductors.
