Stable diagonal stripes in the t–J model at n̅ h = 1/8 doping from fPEPS calculations

Abstract

We investigate the two-dimensional t–J model at a hole doping of n¯ h= 1 / 8 using recently developed high accuracy fermionic projected entangled pair states method. By applying the stochastic gradient descent method combined with the Monte Carlo sampling technique, we obtain the ground state hole energy Ehole = −1.621 for J/t = 0.4. We show that the ground state has stable diagonal stripes instead of vertical stripes with a width of 4 unit cells, and stripe filling ρl = 0.5. We further show that the long-range superconductivity order is suppressed at this point.
