1 Is the homogeneous electron gas homogeneous? Electron gas (jellium): simplest way to view a metal homogeneous and normal Hartree-Fock: simplest method for many-electron systems a single Slater determinant wf --- self-consistent mean-field solution conventional solution (restricted HF): foundation for Fermi liquid th. RHF is not true HF ground state (Overhauser, 1962) What is the HF ground state of jellium? Shiwei Zhang College of William & Mary, Virginia, USA Outline numerical --- full unrestricted HF solution Broken spin symmetry, but different from Overhauser state An analytic model --- novel pairing mechanism FS)

3 Electron gas simplest model for metal Focus on ground state: Good model for metals: Na, Al,.
4 Electron gas simplest model for metal Investigated for >70 years: Wigner, Bloch, L Non-interacting solution: Fermi sphere r s : average dist. between 2 electrons Focus on defines density r s < 5a.u. (high to medium density --- real materials) Unpolarized:
5 The challenge of non relativistic QM High density: wave-like Fermi liquid (?) jellium k Low density: particle-like Wigner crystal r s : average distance bt. electrons K ~ 1/r s 2 ; P ~ 1/r s Often system is at neither limit Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) results (Ceperley & Alder) foundation of modern electronic structure calc s
6 The standard model in condensed matter Density functional theory (DFT) with local-density types of approximate functionals: LDA, GGA,. (Nobel, Kohn 98) Many applications Independent-electron framework: Electronic Hamiltonian: (Born-Oppenheimer) LDA MnO jellium! Almost routine tool: ABINIT, ESPRESSO, GAMESS, Gaussian, VASP,.
7 The standard model in condensed matter Jellium is routinely used as a reference state in modern electronic structure calculations Jellium correlation energy f c (n) is a fundamental concept But its definition is in terms of the Hartree-Fock energy --- What s the HF energy? What s the HF state? Many works, e.g. recently by Trail & Needs: Wigner We will focus on high to intermediate density
8 Hartree-Fock solutions k y Choose plane-wave basis: k> In 2 nd quantization: k x Energy: K + (V Hartree + V exchange ) Wave function single Slater determinant Textbook solution: homogeneous in real space E=K- V exchange k,k`1/ k-k 2
9 Hartree-Fock solutions Textbook solution is not the HF ground state Hand-waving: how to have a Slater det with E<E RHF? Consider pairing state: 2 pairs {k,s}, {k,s } at FS: s-k=-(k -s ) K V Hartree V exchange higher =0 higher & lower Interference bt. 2 parallel pairs
10 Overhauser states: Hartree-Fock solutions proved (1962) there exists spin-density wave states with E<E RHF Spiral or linear SDWs Wave vector of SDW=2 k F Not a self-consistent HF solution, just an example determinant Determining the true HF state has remained a challenge Why bother? fundamental importance of both HF and jellium mathematical puzzle understand mechanism for broken symmetry suggest candidate state (trial wf) for accurate methods (e.g., QMC)
11 Finding the unrestricted HF solution unrestricted For small, guaranteed to reach a minimum We use different choices (random) of initial (0) > to avoid local minima True UHF solution! (But spiral SDW solutions excluded) Tricks (FFT, etc)
12 Unrestricted HF (UHF) solution For finite-size (L): Closed-shell: UHF exist for r s > r sc (L) Open-shell: UHF always exists pairing at no cost How to approach the thermodynamic limit?
13 Twist averaged boundary conditions (TABC) TABC widely used in band structure methods; recently in many-body calculations (Lin, Zhong & Ceperley; Kwee, Zhang, Krakauer; Chang & Zhang;.) A phase when electron goes around the lattice: k y Shifts plane-wave vectors in k>: k x Breaks degeneracy in free-particle spectrum Averaging results over twist greatly reduces finite-size effects
14 The unrestricted HF solution Energy lowering from RHF: UHF for all r s E is tiny at low r s : Recall UHF broken symmetry state: - lowering exchange at cost of kinetic - Hartree unchanged at low r s uniform charge density
15 The unrestricted HF solution Momentum distribution n(k) : Modification to FS decreases with r s limited to near FS n(k) spin-indep. --- spinsymmetry always holds: e.g., no spiral Inset: Primary spike at k F Paired satellite spikes (small, equal length)
16 The unrestricted HF solution Spin density: Waves w/ amplitude ~ 10% of density r s =4, N=54
17 The unrestricted HF solution Charge density: Fluctuation is only ~ 0.1% of density r s =4, N=54 different scale
18 The unrestricted HF solution Spin & Charge densities: A line cut (N=54) r s =7 is fundamentally different: Wigner crystal Particle-like (spin & charge similar fluct.) Below r_s=4: Charge and spin different Wave-like (large doubleoccupancy ) size of supercell
19 The unrestricted HF solution S-S & C-C correlations: Peak value: Structure factor peak value S(q) & position q S sp >> S ch (log scale) Decays with r s Peak position Peak of S sp at q: q is not 2k F q~1.5(2) k F Consistent (N=54 to 512) Not compatible with Overhauser state
20 Understanding the UHF solution Broken-symmetry SDW-like, with wave vector q~1.5k F : Overhauser model: pairing across FS requires q=2k F ; smaller q cannot exist (higher K, less V ex interf)? What is the mechanism for the UHF solution? Not interf. bt. primary pairs satellite pairing: Primary, on FS Satellite, off FS 0; ln sing. in ex.
21 Understanding the UHF solution What is the mechanism for the UHF solution? satellite pairing: interference between primary and satellite pairs is key Can show: lowering of V ex from interference > increase in (K + V ex ) q=(k -k) can thus be anything on (0,2k F ) Optimizing (# of {k,k } )*(# of {s,s } ) q=1.52k F crude model Exact UHF (numerical results) will do better
22 The unrestricted HF solution What does the spin density look like at small r_s? Delicate balance - confined to near FS r s =1, N=512 - sensitive to FS typology Spatial symmetry further broken An-isotropic (spin stripes?)
23 Summary The conventional paramagnetic solution is not the true HF ground state of the 3-D electron gas Combined approach to obtain HF ground state: Iterative numerical solution Analytic pairing model The HF ground state: Broken spin symmetry at all densities, Realistic densities: wave-like; almost cnst charge, SDW; Spatially anistropic (spin stripes) at high density? SDW with q~1.5(2)k F, not 2k F Mechanism --- pairing (Tuscany lattitude, not North-pole) + sattelites at Fermi surface
