Abstract

We propose new approach for treatment of local and non-local interactions in correlated electronic systems, which uses self-energy and the two-particle irreducible vertices, obtained from (extended) dynamical mean-field theory, as an input of two-particle irreducible functional renormalization-group (2PI-fRG) approach. Using 2PI-fRG approach allows us to treat both, local and non-local interactions. In case of purely local interaction the corresponding equations have similar (although not identical) structure to the earlier developed DMF$^2$RG approach. In a simplest truncation, neglecting scale-dependence of the two-particle irreducible vertices, we reproduce the results for the two-particle vertices/susceptibilities in the ladder approximation of the dual boson or D$Γ$A approach; in more sophisticated truncations the method allows us to consider non-local corrections to the self-energy, as well as the interplay of charge- and spin correlations. treatment of vertex renormalizations. The proposed scheme is tested on the two-dimensional standard and extended $U$-$V$ half-filled Hubbard models. For the standard Hubbard model we obtain non-local self-energy, which is in agreement with numerical studies; for the extended Hubbard model we obtain the boundary of charge instability, which agrees well with the results of the dual boson (DB) approach. We also find that the effect of spin correlations on electron interaction in the charge channel, not considered previously in the DB approach, only slightly reduces critical next-nearest-neighbor interaction of charge instability of the extended Hubbard model at the considered finite small temperature, yielding better agreement with dynamic cluster approximation. The considered method is rather general and can be applied to study various phenomena in strongly-correlated electronic systems.

Exotic Spin Excitation Continuum in a Weakly Coupled Quantum Chainsaw Antiferromagnet

Collective motions in strongly interacting magnets involve many spins and are often described in terms of integer-spin excitations. However, in certain cases, the collective motion can behave as if these integer excitations break apart into smaller, particle-like entities with unusual properties. Such fractionalized excitations in quantum magnets are commonly associated either with topological order in two dimensions or with criticality in one dimension. It remains unclear how these distinct mechanisms are connected across a dimensional crossover. Here we investigate the Ti-based quantum antiferromagnet, $Cs_{8}LiNa_{3}Ti_{12}F_{48}$, in which $Ti^{3+}$ ($3d^{1}$, $S=1/2$) ions interact antiferromagnetically within distorted kagome planes. Our inelastic neutron scattering study on a single crystal reveals a frustrated network of weakly coupled spin-$1/2$ chainsaws, realizing a regime of dimensional frustration in which interchain couplings fail to establish coherent two-dimensional order. The magnetic excitation spectrum exhibits a strong continuum spanning the full measured momentum and energy phase space. In addition, the dynamic spin correlation function displays rod-like scattering in momentum space, indicating a quasi-one-dimensional nature of the magnetic correlations. These results point to fractionalized excitations with intrinsically directional character, demonstrating that signatures of one-dimensional criticality can persist within a two-dimensional lattice. Our findings establish anisotropic fractionalization as a distinct organizing principle for quantum-disordered states.

Unraveling the Kagome Antiferromagnetic $3J$ Model and Its Materials: An Integrated Approach

We investigate the ground-state and finite-temperature properties of the kagome antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model with three inequivalent couplings, dubbed the $3J$ model, which is designed for the candidate Dirac quantum spin liquid (QSL) material YCu$_3$(OH)$_6$Br$_2$[Br$_{1-x}$(OH)$_x$] (see, e.g., Zeng et al., 2024). Employing large-scale density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) supplemented by neural quantum states (NQS) simulations, we identify an intermediate QSL phase between two magnetically ordered phases. We also find that this QSL is separated from the kagome spin liquid ground state at the isotropic limit. To establish a direct comparison with experiments, we compute the specific heat of the model by means of advanced exponential (XTRG) and tangent-space (tanTRG) thermal tensor-network methods. In the magnetically ordered phase, the specific heat over temperature exhibits a shoulder at a temperature that is a fraction of the coupling strength $J_{h}$, which disappears in the QSL phase. These universal behaviors are consistent with the experimentally observed specific heat in $3J$ materials for both ordered and QSL candidate samples. Our work thus connects microscopic models with experimentally measurable signatures, exemplifying an integrated approach to understanding QSL phenomena in frustrated quantum magnets~ (see Meng et al., 2026), with $3J$ materials serving as a representative case and providing a foundation for future studies.

Quantum-interference-driven orbital density wave and high-temperature superconductivity in trilayer nickelates

Intertwined charge-density-wave (CDW) and spin-density-wave (SDW) orders are a hallmark of high-temperature superconducting multilayer nickelates. In trilayer La4Ni3O_{10}, charge correlations develop at temperatures above the onset of long-range spin order, and the characteristic ordering wavevectors satisfy $Q_{cdw} \approx 2Q_{sdw}$. Here, using a density-wave equation with vertex corrections, we show that quantum interference between short-range SDW fluctuations at $q \approx Q_{sdw}$ on the outer NiO2 layers generates an inter-outer-layer bond order at $Q_{cdw} \approx 2 Q_{sdw}$. This bond order induces a pronounced inner-layer-centered orbital order, with antiphase modulations of the Ni $d_{3z^2-r^2}$ and $d_{x^2-y^2}$ occupations, producing strong orbital polarization but only weak total charge modulation. This intertwined bond-and-orbital order accounts for the layer-selective electronic reconstruction inferred from NMR/NQR and is consistent with Raman spectroscopy and scanning tunnelling microscopy measurements. The same orbital and spin fluctuations also cooperate to stabilize $s_{\pm}$-wave superconductivity through $M_z$ mirror-parity selection rules. Our results provide a unified microscopic framework for intertwined density-wave order and high-Tc superconductivity in multilayer nickelates.
