A VARIATIONAL THEORY OF QUASI-PARTICLES IN A 3D N x N x N CUBIC LATTICE

Abstract

The single-band Hubbard Hamiltonian study faces a serious limitation and difficulty as we move away from finite - size lattices to larger N - dimensional lattices. Thus there is the needto develop the means of overcoming the finite - size lattice defects as we pass on to a higher dimension.In this work, a quantitative approximation to the one-band Hubbard model is presented using a variational analytic approach. The goal of this work, therefore, is to explore quantitatively the lowest ground-state energy and the pairing correlations in 3D N x N x N lattices of the Hubbard model. We developed the unit step model as an approximate solution to the single-band Hubbard Hamiltonian to solve variationallythe correlation of two interacting elections on a three-dimensional cubic lattice. We also showed primarily how to derive possible electronic states available for several even and odd3D lattices, although, this work places more emphasis on a 3D 5 x 5 x 5 lattice. The results emerging from our present study compared favourablywith the results of Gutzwillervariational approach (GVA) and correlated variational approach (CVA), at thelarge limit of the Coulomb interaction strength (U/4t). It is revealed in this study, that the repulsive Coulomb interaction which in part leads to the strong electronic correlations, would indicate that the two electron system prefer not to condense into s-wave superconducting singlet state (s = 0), at high positive values of the interaction strength.
