D. Klemm et al., ELECTRONIC PHASE-SEPARATION - EXTENDED MEAN-FIELD CALCULATIONS FOR CUO2 LAYERS IN HIGH-T(C) SUPERCONDUCTORS, Physical review. B, Condensed matter, 50(10), 1994, pp. 7046-7055
We examine the stability of spin-polarized cluster states (ferrons) wh
ich appear by hole doping of the antiferromagnetically ordered CuO2 pl
anes in the high-T(c) cuprates. The influence of additional holes is c
alculated within a self-consistent mean-field-type approximation. The
variation procedure for the spin polarization is extended over up to f
ive CuO2 plaquettes. Different correlation terms (U(pd), U(p)) affecti
ng the cluster stability are discussed. For all cases the cluster bind
ing energy and the polarization of the Cu spins are calculated. In add
ition the interaction between different clusters is discussed.
