Density of states and dispersion of quasiparticles in the Emery model: Nonlocal path-integral Monte Carlo algorithm

The spectral density of states for a 108-site Cu₃₆O₇₂ cluster in the two-dimensional three-band Emery model is reconstructed with the aid of a path integral Monte Carlo algorithm. Dispersion relations are obtained for quasiparticles in the upper Hubbard band and in the correlated-states band; this corresponds to electron and hole doping of high-T _c superconductors. The form of the isoenergy surfaces is close to the experimentally observed form and confirms the existence of singularities in the density of states near the Fermi level. Pis’ma Zh. éksp. Teor.
