Emergence of electronic modes and triplet pairing from spin-1 antiferromagnetic insulators in the Kanamori-Hubbard model
Abstract
The electronic band structures of conventional band insulators generally remain unchanged under doping via chemical-potential shifts or increasing temperature. However, in Mott and Kondo insulators described by models such as the Hubbard and Kondo lattice models, distinct electronic modes with momentum-shifted magnetic dispersion relations have been shown to emerge from band edges into the gap. Here, by investigating the two-orbital Kanamori-Hubbard model, this study elucidates how and why the band structures of spin-1 antiferromagnetic insulators change with doping and temperature, revealing emergent spectral features characteristic of orbitally degenerate systems. The nature of the emergent electronic modes is clarified using weak-hopping effective theory, selection-rule analysis, and numerical calculations. In a typical parameter regime, the doping-induced modes in each orbital reflect distinct types of spin modes, while the temperature-induced modes primarily reflect the low-energy spin mode in both orbitals; in both cases, the emergent modes exhibit momentum-shifted spin-mode dispersion relations. The momentum regimes of these emergent modes can differ between orbitals if signs of the hopping parameters differ. For small inter-orbital repulsion, onsite spin-triplet pairs can form after doping, leading to a pair-breaking gap, while the temperature-induced electronic modes continue to reflect the low-energy spin mode without a pair-breaking gap. Moreover, the emergence and characteristics of electronic modes in nonequilibrium states by spin or charge perturbations are elucidated. These findings provide a comprehensive understanding of how the interplay among the spin, charge, and orbital degrees of freedom in large-spin antiferromagnetic insulators leads to emergent electronic modes, opening avenues for exploring unconventional quantum phenomena in strongly correlated systems.
