Spatial fluctuations of spin and orbital in two-orbital Hubbard model: cluster dynamical mean field study

Abstract

We investigate the single-particle dynamics and magnetic properties in the two-orbital Hubbard model on the square lattice at quarter filling by using a cluster extension of dynamical mean field theory. We find that the Fermi-liquid state is stabilized up to the large intra- and inter-orbital interactions in the symmetric case without Hund's coupling. It is clarified that the Hund's coupling enhances the antiferro-orbital fluctuations, which gives rise to the pseudo gap behavior in the single-particle excitations. We also find that the Hund's coupling with intermediate strength causes the competition between the Fermi-liquid formation and the antiferro-orbital fluctuations, resulting in the nonmonotonous temperature dependence in the single-particle dynamics.
