Quantum Monte Carlo calculations of dynamic spin excitations in FeSe

ORAL

Abstract

The rich physics of bulk and monolayer FeSe has been widely studied in the condensed matter physics community. The pairing mechanism giving rise to the enhanced superconductivity of the monolayer is mainly attributed to spin fluctuations. Here we discuss unbiased dynamical cluster approximation (DCA) quantum Monte Carlo calculations to understand the physics of these compounds. Specifically, we calculate the dynamic spin susceptibility of a two-orbital Hubbard model with parameters tuned to describe both bulk and monolayer FeSe and use the maximum entropy method to perform the analytic continuation to real frequencies. We compare the DCA results with neutron scattering data for bulk FeSe as well as resonant inelastic x-ray spectroscopy (RIXS) data for the monolayer compound.
