High-energy pseudogap induced by Hund coupling in a degenerate Hubbard model

High-energy pseudogap induced by Hund coupling in a degenerate Hubbard model Hund coupling in the degenerate five-band Hubbard model near n = 6 occupancy is shown to give rise to a significant depletion of spectral weight above the Fermi level. Calculations within dynamical mean-field theory combined with exact diagonalization reveal that this pseudogap is associated with a collective mode in the self-energy caused by spin fluctuations. The pseudogap is remarkably stable over a wide range of Coulomb and exchange energies, but disappears for weak Hund coupling. The implications of this phenomenon for optical spectra of iron pnictides are discussed. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Physical Review B American Physical Society (APS)

Abstract

Hund coupling in the degenerate five-band Hubbard model near n = 6 occupancy is shown to give rise to a significant depletion of spectral weight above the Fermi level. Calculations within dynamical mean-field theory combined with exact diagonalization reveal that this pseudogap is associated with a collective mode in the self-energy caused by spin fluctuations. The pseudogap is remarkably stable over a wide range of Coulomb and exchange energies, but disappears for weak Hund coupling. The implications of this phenomenon for optical spectra of iron pnictides are discussed.
