• What is the Hubbard Model?
• What do we need it for?
• What is the simplest way of solving it?
Band Insulators
Even no. of e’s
per unit cell
C
Even no. of e’s
per unit cell +
band overlap
Odd no. of e’s
per unit cell
Ca, Sr
According to band theory, odd no. of e’s per unit cell ) Metal
Na,
K
Failure of Band Theory
Co : 3d7 4s2
O : 2s2 2p4
Total no. of electrons = 9+6 = 15
Band theory predicts CoO to be
metal, while it is the toughest
insulator known
Failure of band theory ) Failure of single particle picture
) importance of interaction effects (Correlation)
Gedankenexperiment: Mott insulator
Imagin a linear lattice of Na atoms:
Na: [1s2 2s2 2p6] 3s1
- Band is half-filled
- At small lattice constants overlap
and hence the band width is large
) Large gain in kinetic energy
) Metallic behavior
- for larger “a”, charge fluctuations
are supressed:
Coulomb energy dominates:
) cost of charge fluctuations increases ) Insulator at half filling
A Simple Model
At (U3s/t3s)cr=4® Coulomb energy cost starts to
dominate the gain in the charge fluctuations
) |FSi becomes unstable
) Insulating states becomes stabilized
Hubbard Model
Metal-Insulator Trans. (MIT)
(1) Band Limit (U=0):
(2) Atomic Limit (UÀ t):
• For t=0, two isolated atomic levels
²at and ²at+U
• Small non-zero t¿ U broadens the
atomic levels into Hubbard sub-bands
• Further increasing t, decreases the
band gap and continuously closes the gap
(Second order MIT)
Symmetries of Hubbard Model
particle-hole symmetry
For L sites with N e’s, the transformation
At half-filling, N=L, H(L) H(L)
Symmetries of Hubbard Model
SU(2) symmetry
When Hubbard Model is Relevant?
• Long ragne part of the interaction is
ignored ) Screening must be strong
• Long range interaction is important, but we
are addressing spin physics.
Two-site Hubbard Model
N and Sz are good quantum numbers. Example: N=2, Sz=0 for L=2 sites

at half-filling and large
U is a spin model!
Energy scale for
singlet-triplet
transitions
Why Spin Fluctuations?
In the large U limit,
double occupancy (d)
is expensive: each (d)
has energy cost UÀ t
Hopping changes the
double occupancy
U
