Description

We study the ground state of the doped Hubbard model on honeycomb lattice with both nearest (t) and next-nearest-neighbor hoppings (t) in the small doping and strongly interacting region. Previous study on the model without t showed the ground state is a half-filled stripe. We employ density matrix renormalization group and extrapolate the results with truncation errors in the converged region. In the t<0 side, we find the half-filled stripe phase at t=0 is stable against the frustration of t until a critical point 0.4<tc<0.3, beyond which the ground state switches to antiferromagnetic Néel phase with charge modulation. With further increase of t to 0.7, the ground state becomes paramagnetic. In the t>0 side, the half-filled stripe stretches to t0.7. We do not find obvious enhancement of pairing for the range of t studied. We study width-4 cylinders in this paper but the results for spin, charge, and pairing correlation agree qualitatively for periodic and antiperiodic boundary conditions in the half-filled stripe and antiferromagnetic Néel phases, suggesting the results are likely to be representative for true two-dimensional systems. The half-filled stripe to antiferromagnetic Néel phase transition can be realized on real materials or ultracold atom platform.
