Doublon dynamics of the Hubbard model on a triangular lattice

Abstract

We study the dynamics of doublon in the half-filled Hubbard model on the triangular lattice by using the cellular dynamical mean field theory. Investigating the nearest-neighbor dynamical correlations, we demonstrate that a nearest-neighbor doublon-holon pair shows a strong attraction, in particular in the insulating phase. We also calculate the on-site dynamical correlation of doublon and find that the life time of doublon is longer in the metallic phase than in the insulating phase. In the long-time region, the metallic phase has persistent fluctuations in various nearest-neighbor configurations, while the fluctuations are vanishingly small in the insulating phase. Obtained results indicate clear differences of dynamics of doublon between in the metallic and in the insulating phases.
