A well-known property of aromatic molecules is their highly anisotropic response to the presence of an external magnetic field: the component of their magnetic susceptibility parallel to the field is generally much larger than the remaining in-plane components. This intriguing phenomenon is rationalized as a consequence of the delocalization of the itinerant electrons that populate the aromatic ring. In this work, we revisit the magnetism of aromatic molecules and propose an extended Hubbard model for the electrons in the aromatic ring that takes into account the interaction between them and the bonding electrons. We show that the bonding electrons play an important and overlooked role: they mediate an effective, attractive momentum-momentum interaction between the itinerant electrons, which promotes a strong enhancement in the magnetic response of the aromatic ring. For the particular case of benzene, we show that the experimentally observed magnetic anisotropy is recovered with realistic values of the coupling constants.

We investigate the application of the Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) to the Hubbard model in momentum-space. We treat the one-dimensional models with dispersion relations corresponding to nearest-neighbor hopping and $1/r$ hopping and th e two-dimensional model with isotropic nearest-neighbor hopping. By comparing with the exact solutions for both one-dimensional models and with exact diagonalization in two dimensions, we first investigate the convergence of the ground-state energy. We find variational convergence of the energy with the number of states kept for all models and parameter sets. In contrast to the real-space algorithm, the accuracy becomes rapidly worse with increasing interaction and is not significantly better at half filling. We compare the results for different dispersion relations at fixed interaction strength over bandwidth and find that extending the range of the hopping in one dimension has little effect, but that changing the dimensionality from one to two leads to lower accuracy at weak to moderate interaction strength. In the one-dimensional models at half-filling, we also investigate the behavior of the single-particle gap, the dispersion of spinon excitations, and the momentum distribution function. For the single-particle gap, we find that proper extrapolation in the number of states kept is important. For the spinon dispersion, we find that good agreement with the exact forms can be achieved at weak coupling if the large momentum-dependent finite-size effects are taken into account for nearest-neighbor hopping. For the momentum distribution, we compare with various weak-coupling and strong-coupling approximations and discuss the importance of finite-size effects as well as the accuracy of the DMRG.

We study the relaxation dynamics of the one-dimensional Tomonaga-Luttinger model after an interaction quench paying particular attention to the momentum dependence of the two-particle interaction. Several potentials of different analytical form are i nvestigated all leading to universal Luttinger liquid physics in equilibrium. The steady-state fermionic momentum distribution shows universal behavior in the sense of the Luttinger liquid phenomenology. For generic regular potentials the large time decay of the momentum distribution function towards the steady-state value is characterized by a power law with a universal exponent which only depends on the potential at zero momentum transfer. A commonly employed ad hoc procedure fails to give this exponent. Besides quenches from zero to positive interactions we also consider abrupt changes of the interaction between two arbitrary values. Additionally, we discuss the appearance of a factor of two between the steady-state momentum distribution function and the one obtained in equilibrium at equal two-particle interaction.
We theoretically show that the Kitaev interaction generates a novel class of spin texture in the excitation spectrum of the antiferromagnetic insulator found in the Kitaev-Heisenberg-$Gamma$ model. In conducting electronic systems, there is a series of vortex type of spin texture along the Fermi surface induced by Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling. Such spin textures are rarely found in magnetic insulators, since there had been no systematic ways to control the kinetics of its quasi-particle called magnon using a magnetic field or spacially asymmetric exchange couplings. Here, we propose a general framework to explore such spin textures in arbitrary insulating antiferromagnets. We introduce an analytical method to transform any complicated Hamiltonian to the simple representation based on pseudo-spin degrees of freedom. The direction of the pseudo-spin on a Bloch sphere describes the degree of contributions from the two magnetic sublattices to the spin moment carried by the magnon. The momentum dependent fictitious Zeeman field determines the direction of the pseudo-spin and thus becomes the control parameter of the spin texture, which is explicitly described by the original model parameters. The framework enabled us to clarify the uncovered aspect of the Kitaev interaction, and further provides a tool to easily design or explore materials with intriguing magnetic properties. Since these spin textures can be a source of a pure spin current, the Kitaev materials $A_{2}$PrO$_{3}$ ($A$ =Li, Na) shall become a potential platform of power-saving spintronics devices.
LDA+DMFT, the merger of density functional theory in the local density approximation and dynamical mean-field theory, has been mostly employed to calculate k-integrated spectra accessible by photoemission spectroscopy. In this paper, we calculate k-r esolved spectral functions by LDA+DMFT. To this end, we employ the Nth order muffin-tin (NMTO) downfolding to set up an effective low-energy Hamiltonian with three t_2g orbitals. This downfolded Hamiltonian is solved by DMFT yielding k-dependent spectra. Our results show renormalized quasiparticle bands over a broad energy range from -0.7 eV to +0.9 eV with small ``kinks, discernible in the dispersion below the Fermi energy.
The correlated motion of a positron surrounded by electrons is a fundamental many-body problem. We approach this by modeling the momentum density of annihilating electron-positron pairs using the framework of reduced density matrices, natural orbital s and natural geminals (electron-positron pair wave functions) of the quantum theory of many-particle systems. We find that an expression based on the natural geminals provides an exact, unique and compact expression for the momentum density. The natural geminals can be used to define and determine enhancement factors for enhancement models going beyond the independent-particle model for a better understanding of results of positron annihilation experiments.
