Phys. Rev. B 54, R3746–R3749 (1996)Phase separation and the existence of superconductivity in a one-dimensional copper-oxygen model
The phase-separation instability occurring with increasing nearest-neighbor repulsion V in a two-band Hubbard model (CuO chain) is discussed. Quantum Monte Carlo simulations indicate that this transition is strongly discontinuous if the filling fraction 〈n〉 is close to 1 (half-filled lower band). Spin-density-wave fluctuations then dominate before phase separation. Superconducting fluctuations dominate in the neighborhood of phase separation only at considerably higher doping levels, where the transition to the phase-separated state is much smoother. © 1996 The American Physical Society URL:
