Ground State Properties of the Two-Dimensional t-J Model

Abstract

The two-dimensional $t$-$J$ model in the ground state is investigated by the power Lanczos method. The pairing-pairing correlation function for $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wave symmetry is enhanced in the realistic parameter regime for high-$T_c$ superconductors. The charge susceptibility $χ_c$ shows divergent behavior as $χ_c\proptoδ^{-1}$ near half-filling for the doping concentration $δ$, indicating that the value of the dynamical exponent $z$ is four under the assumption of hyperscaling. The peak height of the spin structure factor $S_{max}(Q)$ also behaves as $S_{max}(Q) \proptoδ^{-1}$ near half-filling, which leads to the divergence of the antiferromagnetic correlation length $ξ_m$ as $ξ_m \proptoδ^{-1/2}$. The boundary of phase separation is estimated on the basis of the Maxwell construction. Numerical results are compared with experimental features observed in high-$T_c$ cuprates.
