Abstract

We present results of a strong-coupling expansion of the three-orbital Hubbard model describing motion of holes in the copper system where, in the electron-doped case, the number of holes per Cu site is less than or equal to one. The resulting strong-coupling Hamiltonian is Hubbard-like but with an additional nearest-neighbor repulsion between Cu holes due to the presence of the Cu-O intersite V term. We find, using the model parameters estimated by Hybersten et al., that this repulsive interaction generated by the V term is of the same order as that of the possible spin-fluctuation-mediated attractive interaction between Cu sites so that nearest-neighbor quasiparticle pairing is significantly suppressed.
