Pairing properties of the $t$–$t$'–$t$"–$J$ model

We study the pairing properties of the two-dimensional t–t'–t"–J model, where t' and t" are second and third neighbor hoppings, at a doping level x ≈ 0.1. Recent studies of the t–t'–J model find strong pairing for t' > 0, associated with electron doping, but an absence of pairing for t'<0, associated with hole doping. This is in contrast to the cuprates, where the highest transition temperatures appear for hole doping. Model parametrizations for the cuprates estimate a t" comparable to t', which, in principle, might fix this discrepancy. However, we find that it does not; we observe a suppression of pairing for the hole-doped system (t' < 0,t" > 0), while for the electron-doped system (t' > 0,t" < 0) d-wave pairing is robust. As a result, extended hoppings appear to be insufficient to make the one-band t–t'–J model capable of describing the pairing in the hole-doped system.

Root-N Krylov-space correction vectors for spectral functions with the density matrix renormalization group

In this work, we propose a method to compute spectral functions of generic Hamiltonians using the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) algorithm directly in the frequency domain, based on a modified Krylov-space decomposition to compute the correction vectors. Our approach entails the calculation of the root-N (N=2 is the standard square root) of the Hamiltonian propagator using Krylov-space decomposition and repeating this procedure N times to obtain the actual correction vector. We show that our method greatly alleviates the burden of keeping a large bond dimension at large target frequencies, a problem found with conventional correction-vector DMRG, whereas achieving better computational performance at large N. We apply our method to spin and charge spectral functions of t-J and Hubbard models in the challenging two-leg ladder geometry and provide evidence that the root-N approach reaches a much improved spectral resolution compared to the conventional correction vector.

Doped moiré magnets: Renormalized flat bands and excitonic phases

Here, we explore the phase diagram of a twisted bilayer of strongly interacting electrons on a honeycomb lattice close to half filling using the slave-boson mean-field theory. Our analysis indicates that a variety of new phases can be realized as a function of chemical doping and twist angle. In particular, we find a nonmagnetic excitonic insulating phase that breaks the translational symmetry of the underlying moiré pattern. This phase results from the interplay of strong Coulomb interactions and the twist angle. In addition, we show that the features of the renormalized dispersion, such as the magic angles, depend significantly on the interactions. Our results highlight the rich physics arising in doped moiré superlattices of Mott insulators.

Dynamics and control of high precision magnetically levitated vibration isolation systems

Vibration control of flexible structures has received a great deal of interest in recent years. Several authors have investigated this topic in the areas of robot manipulators, space structures, and flexible rotors. Key issues associated with the dynamics and control of vibration isolation systems are addressed. Among other important issues to consider in the control of such systems, the location and number of actuators and sensors are essential to effectively control and suppress vibration. We first address the selection of proper actuator and sensor locations leading to a controllable and observable system. The Rayleigh-Ritz modal analysis method is used to develop a lumped-parameter model of a flexible vibration isolation table top. This model is then used to investigate the system's controllability and observability including the coupling effects introduced by the magnetic bearing. This analysis results in necessary and sufficient conditions for proper selection of actuator and sensor locations. These locations are also important for both controller system's complexity and stability of point of views. A favorable pole-zero plot of the open loop transfer functions is presented. Necessary and sufficient conditions for reducing the controller complexity are derived. The results are illustrated by examples using approximate mode shape functions.
