Checkerboard Order in the projected SO(5) model — •Martin Jöstingmeier1, Stephan Hochkeppel1, Werner Hanke1, and Shou-Cheng Zang2 — 1Theoretische Physik, Am Hubland, D-97074 Würzburg, Germany — 2Department of Physics, Stanford University, Stanford, 94305 California
Based on Contractor renormalization group calculations, it was recently proposed
[1] to extend the projected SO(5) model by offsite Coulomb repulsions. We study this model, using numerically essentially exact Quantum-Monte Carlo calculations, in order to clarify the (T=0) phase diagram. We find antiferromagnetism, superconductivity as well different types of charge-ordered phases. In particular, we determine the type of the phase transition at a multicritical point, that is a possible candidate for SO(5) symmetry restoration. Motivated by scanning tunneling microscopy experiments on Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ and Ca2−xNaxCuO2Cl2
[2,3,4] , that observe charge ordering patterns, we also study in detail checkerboard order as function of doping as well as temperature.
