Origin of high-Tc superconductivity in doped Hubbard models and their extensions: Roles of uniform charge fluctuations

Abstract

The doped Hubbard model is a simple model for high-Tc cuprate superconductors, while its ground state remains a challenge. Here, by performing state-of-the-art variational Monte Carlo calculations for the strong-coupling Hubbard model, we find evidence that the d-wave superconducting phase emerges always near the phase separation region and the superconducting order has one-to-one correspondence with the enhancement of charge compressibility. The order as well as the phase separation are vulnerable to realistic intersite Coulomb interaction, while the superexchange interaction enhances both. An appropriate combination of these two widens the stable superconducting phase.
