PHASE SEPARATION IN THE TWO-DIMENSIONAL HUBBARD MODEL

In this paper, we study phase separation in the two-dimensional single-band Hubbard model with the unrestricted Hartree-Fock(UHF) method and the restricted Hartree-Fock (RHF) method. We perform the calculation for square lattices and rectangle lattices. It is observed that the stripe phase exists and it depends on three aspects: geometry of the lattice, Coulomb interaction U and band filling n. To gain more physical insights, we consider the Hubbard model with spin dependent hoppings: t_↑ and t_↓, and study the effect of varying on the phase separation.
