Gutzwiller wave function under magnetic field

Abstract

Magnetization process of the Gutzwiller wave function is studied accurately by a variational Monte Carlo method. We apply it to the one-dimensional (1D) and 2D Hubbard models (HM), and to the 1D periodic Anderson model (PAM) without orbital degeneracy. For the HM, magnetization varies discontinuously to the full moment, as the magnetic field increases. For the PAM, the paramagnetic state is unstable against ferromagnetism, although the energy reduction thereof is small.
