Low Temperature Lanczos Method

Original · EN

We present a modified finite temperature Lanczos method for the evaluation of dynamical and static quantities of strongly correlated electron systems that complements the finite temperature method (FTLM) introduced by Jaklic and Prelovsek for low temperatures. Together they allow accurate calculations at any temperature with moderate effort. As an example we calculate the static spin correlation function and the regular part of the optical conductivity of the one dimensional Hubbard model at half-filling and show in detail the connection between the ground state and finite temperature method. By using Cluster Perturbation Theory (CPT), the finite temperature spectral function is extended to the infinite system, clearly exhibiting the effects of spin-charge separation.
