''t''-''J'' model

The t-J model was first derived in 1977 from the Hubbard model by Józef Spałek. The model describes strongly-correlated electron systems. It is used to calculate high temperature superconductivity states in doped antiferromagnets.

The t-J Hamiltonian is:

{\hat {H}}=-t\sum _{\langle ij\rangle \sigma }\left({\hat {a}}_{i\sigma }^{\dagger }{\hat {a}}_{j\sigma }+{\hat {a}}_{j\sigma }^{\dagger }{\hat {a}}_{i\sigma }\right)+J\sum _{\langle ij\rangle }\left({\vec {S}}_{i}\cdot {\vec {S}}_{j}-{\frac {n_{i}n_{j}}{4}}\right)

where

∑⟨ij⟩ is the sum over nearest-neighbor sites i and j,
â†
iσ, â
iσ are the fermionic creation and annihilation operators,
σ is the spin polarization,
t is the hopping integral,
J is the coupling constant, J = 4t²/U,
U is the coulombic repulsion,
n_i = ∑σâ†
iσâ
iσ is the particle number at site i, and
S→_i, S→_j are the spins on sites i and j.

Connection to the high-temperature superconductivity

The Hamiltonian of the t₁-t₂-J model in terms of the CP¹ generalized model is:^[1]

\mathbf {H} =t_{1}\sum \limits _{\langle i,j\rangle }\left(c_{i\sigma }^{\dagger }c_{j\sigma }+\mathrm {h.c.} \right)\ +\ t_{2}\sum \limits _{\langle \langle i,j\rangle \rangle }\left(c_{i\sigma }^{\dagger }c_{j\sigma }+\mathrm {h.c.} \right)\ +\ J\sum \limits _{\langle i,j\rangle }\left(\mathbf {S} _{i}\cdot \mathbf {S} _{j}-{\frac {n_{i}n_{j}}{4}}\right)-\ \mu \sum \limits _{i}n_{i},

where the fermionic operators c†
iσ and c
iσ, the spin operators S_i and S_j, and the number operators n_i and n_j all act on restricted Hilbert space and the doubly-occupied states are excluded. The sums in the above-mentioned equation are over all sites of a 2-dimensional square lattice, where ⟨…⟩ and ⟨⟨…⟩⟩ denote the nearest and next-nearest neighbors, respectively.
