Ferromagnetism in the t-t' Hubbard model: interplay of lattice, band dispersion, and interaction effects studied within a Goldstone-mode preserving scheme

Abstract

Ferromagnetism in the Hubbard model is investigated on sc, bcc, and fcc lattices using a systematic inverse-degeneracy ($1/\mathcal{N}$) expansion which incorporates self-energy and vertex corrections such that spin-rotation symmetry and the Goldstone mode are explicitly preserved. First-order quantum corrections to magnon energies are evaluated for several cases, providing a comprehensive picture of the interplay of lattice, band dispersion, and interaction effects on the stability of the ferromagnetic state with respect to both long- and short-wavelength fluctuations. Our results support the belief that ferromagnetism is a generic feature of the Hubbard model at intermediate and strong coupling provided the DOS is sufficiently asymmetric and strongly peaked near band edge, as for fcc lattice with finite $t^{\prime }$. For short-wavelength modes, behavior of a characteristic energy scale ${\omega }^{\ast }\sim T_c$ (magnon-DOS-peak energy) is in excellent agreement with the $T_c$ vs. $n$ behavior within DMFT, both with respect to the stable range of densities ($0.20<n<0.85$) as well as the optimal density $n=0.65$. However, our finding of vanishing spin stiffness near optimal density highlights the role of long-wavelength fluctuations in further reducing the stable range of densities.
