Effects of the Hybridization on the Fermi Surface of an Extended $d-p$ Hubbard Model

Abstract

The Fermi surface (FS) of an extended $d-p$ Hubbard model is investigated by a two-pole approximation in both situations with hole and electron doping. Using the factorization procedure proposed by Beenen and Edwards, superconductivity with singlet $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wave pairing is considered. The effects of the $d-p$ hybridization on the FS are the main focus in the present work. Nevertheless, the asymmetries between the hole- and electron-doped regimes and the effects of doping and Coulomb interaction on FS are also investigated. Particularly, it is shown that the crossover from hole-like to electron-like FS is deeply affected by the $d-p$ hybridization in the hole-doped case. It has been verified that the effect of the hybridization is very pronounced around the saddle points $(0,\pm \pi )$ and $(\pm \pi ,0)$, where the intensity of the superconducting order parameter is maximum in the particular case of $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wave symmetry. In the electron-doped case, the crossover in the FS is not verified. The doping dependence of the FS topology in the hole- and electron-doped regimes is in agreement with recent experimental ARPES results for La${}_{2-x}$Sr${}_x$CuO${}_4$ (hole doping) and Nd${}_{2-x}$Ce${}_x$CuO${}_4$ (electron doping).
