Dynamical Properties of the One-Dimensional Hubbard Model —A Numerical Study—

Abstract

We investigate the dynamical properties of the one-dimensional Hubbard model using the quantum Monte Carlo method and the numerical analytic continuation method based on the maximum entropy principle. Results for the spin, charge and current excitation spectrum are presented for various values of the coupling and the band filling for the system of 24 sites with the periodic boundary condition. We find that the total spectral density of the spin excitation exhibits a gapless structure irrespective of the coupling or the band filling. The charge excitation spectrum, on the other hand, clearly shows the gap formation at the half filled band and shifts its weight toward the higher energy region with increase of the coupling. This charge excitation gap, however, disappears with the hole doping. We also discuss the momentum dependence of the spectral functions.
