Magnetic Domains and Stripes in the Spin-Fermion Model for Cuprates

Abstract

Monte Carlo simulations applied to the Spin-Fermion model for cuprates show the existence of antiferromagnetic spin domains and charge stripes upon doping. The stripes are partially filled, with a filling of approximately 1/2 hole per site, and they separate spin domains with a phase shift among them. The stripes observed run either along the x or y axes and they are separated by a large energy barrier. No special boundary conditions or external fields are needed to stabilize these structures at low temperatures. When magnetic incommensurate peaks are observed at momentum and symmetrical points, charge incommensurate peaks appear at and symmetrical points, as experimentally observed. The strong charge fluctuations responsible for the formation of the stripes also induce a pseudogap in the density of states.
