Infinite projected entangled pair states (iPEPS) have emerged as a powerful tool for studying interacting two-dimensional fermionic systems. In this review, we discuss the iPEPS construction and some basic properties of this tensor network (TN) ansatz. Special focus is put on (i) a gentle introduction of the diagrammatic TN representations forming the basis for deriving the complex numerical algorithm, and (ii) the technical advance of fully exploiting non-abelian symmetries for fermionic iPEPS treatments of multi-band lattice models. The exploitation of non-abelian symmetries substantially increases the performance of the algorithm, enabling the treatment of fermionic systems up to a bond dimension D=24D=24 on a square lattice. A variety of complex two-dimensional (2D) models thus become numerically accessible. Here, we present first promising results for two types of multi-band Hubbard models, one with 22 bands of spinful fermions of \mathrm{SU}(2)_\mathrm{spin} \otimes \mathrm{SU}(2)_\mathrm{orb}SU(2)spin⊗SU(2)orb symmetry, the other with 33 flavors of spinless fermions of \mathrm{SU}(3)_\mathrm{flavor}SU(3)flavor symmetry.

Using simulated annealing, we examine a bipartitioning of small worlds obtained by adding a fraction of randomly chosen links to a one-dimensional chain or a square lattice. Models defined on small worlds typically exhibit a mean-field behavior, regardless of the underlying lattice. Our work demonstrates that the bipartitioning of small worlds does depend on the underlying lattice. Simulations show that for one-dimensional small worlds, optimal partitions are finite size clusters for any fraction of additional links. In the two-dimensional case, we observe two regimes: when the fraction of additional links is sufficiently small, the optimal partitions have a stripe-like shape, which is lost for a larger number of additional links as optimal partitions become disordered. Some arguments, which interpret additional links as thermal excitations and refer to the thermodynamics of Ising models, suggest a qualitative explanation of such a behavior. The histogram of overlaps suggests that a replica symmetry is broken in a one-dimensional small world. In the two-dimensional case, the replica symmetry seems to hold, but with some additional degeneracy of stripe-like partitions.

In planar micropolar elasticity theory, the degree of micropolarity exhibited by a loaded heterogeneous material is quantified by a dimensionless constitutive parameter, the coupling number. Theoretical predictions of this parameter derived by considering the mechanical behaviour of regular, two-dimensional lattices with straight connectors suggest that its value is dependent on the connectivity or topology of the lattice with the coupling number in a square lattice predicted to be notably higher than in its hexagonal counterpart. A second constitutive parameter reflecting the intrinsic lattice size scale, the characteristic length, is also predicted to be topology-dependent. In this paper, we compare the behaviour of alternative two-dimensional heterogeneous materials in the context of micropolar elasticity. These materials consist of periodic arrays of circular voids within a polymeric matrix rather than a lattice of straight connectors. Two material variants that differ only in their matrix topology are investigated in particular. Values of the additional micropolar constitutive parameters are obtained for each material from both experimental tests and finite-element analyses. The values determined for these parameters, particularly the coupling number, suggest that their topological dependence differs appreciably from the theoretical predictions of the lattice models.

In this short communication we discuss results obtained for the single and multi-orbital Hubbard models within the mean-field-slave-boson description of correlated fermions on a square lattice. For appropriate parameter values the results can be used to mimic some of the normal state properties of the copper oxide systems. Results for the single and multi-orbital models differ in a very characteristic manner. In the single band case the phase diagram consists of metallic (U<Uc) and strongly correlated (U>Uc) regions, which are clearly seperated at half filling (Uc being the critical value of the Brinkman-Rice transition1)). Upon doping the transition between these two phases smoothes out and for large enough doping (δ>0.2, δ=1−n) the system behaves as a weakly correlated metal. In the multi-oibital case depending on the input energies for the orbitals the transition to the insulating state can be either of the Brinkman-Rice or the charge-transfer type. Similar to the single band case doping causes rapid loss of correlation effects. We tentatively conclude that the Kondo-type of effect is absent in the multi-orbital model.

Structural disorder has been shown to be responsible for profound changes of the interaction-energy landscapes and collective dynamics of two-dimensional (2D) magnetic nanostructures. Weakly-disordered 2D ensembles have a few particularly stable magnetic configurations with large basins of attraction from which the higher-energy metastable configurations are separated by only small downward barriers. In contrast, strongly-disordered ensembles have rough energy landscapes with a large number of low-energy local minima separated by relatively large energy barriers. Consequently, the former show good-structure-seeker behavior with an unhindered relaxation dynamics that is funnelled towards the global minimum, whereas the latter show a time evolution involving multiple time scales and trapping which is reminiscent of glasses. Although these general trends have been clearly established, a detailed assessment of the extent of these effects in specific nanostructure realizations remains elusive. The present study quantifies the disorder-induced changes in the interaction-energy landscape of two-dimensional dipole-coupled magnetic nanoparticles as a function of the magnetic configuration of the ensembles. Representative examples of weakly-disordered square-lattice arrangements, showing good structure-seeker behavior, and of strongly-disordered arrangements, showing spin-glass-like behavior, are considered. The topology of the kinetic networks of metastable magnetic configurations is analyzed. The consequences of disorder on the morphology of the interaction-energy landscapes are revealed by contrasting the corresponding disconnectivity graphs. The correlations between the characteristics of the energy landscapes and the Markovian dynamics of the various magnetic nanostructures are quantified by calculating the field-free relaxation time evolution after either magnetic saturation or thermal quenching and by comparing them with the corresponding averages over a large number of structural arrangements. Common trends and system-specific features are identified and discussed.

The two-dimensional BEG model with nearest neighbor bilinear and positive biquadratic interaction is simulated on a cellular automaton, which is based on the Creutz cellular automaton for square lattice. Phase diagrams characterizing phase transitions of the model are presented for comparison with those obtained from other calculations. We confirm the existence of the tricritical points over the phase boundary for D/K>0. The values of static critical exponents (α, β, γ and ν) are estimated within the framework of the finite size scaling theory along D/K=-1 and 1 lines. The results are compatible with the universal Ising critical behavior except the points over phase boundary.

AbstractThe interactions of shocks with defects in two-dimensional square and hexagonal lattices of particles interacting through Lennard-Jones potentials are studied using molecular dynamics. In perfect lattices at zero temperature, shocks directed along one of the principal axes propagate through the crystal causing no permanent disruption. Vacancies, interstitials, and to a lesser degree, massive defects are all effective at converting directed shock motion into thermalized two-dimensional motion. Measures of lattice disruption quantitatively describe the effects of the different defects. The square lattice is unstable at nonzero temperatures, as shown by its tendency upon impact to reorganize into the lower-energy hexagonal state. This transition also occurs in the disordered region associated with the shock-defect interaction. The hexagonal lattice can be made arbitrarily stable even for shock-vacancy interactions through appropriate choice of potential parameters. In reactive crystals, these defect sites may be responsible for the onset of detonation. All calculations are performed using a program optimized for the massively parallel Connection Machine.
