Monte Carlo simulation of a model cuprate

Abstract

We develop a classical Monte Carlo algorithm based on a quasi-classical approximation for a pseudospin S=1 Hamiltonian in real space to construct a phase diagram of a model cuprate with a high Tc. A model description takes into account both local and nonlocal correlations, Heisenberg spin-exchange interaction, correlated single-particle, and two-particle transport. We formulate a state selection algorithm for a given parameterization of the wave function in order to ensure a uniform distribution of states in the phase space. The simulation results show a qualitative agreement with the experimental phase diagrams.
