Metallic non-Fermi-liquid phases of an extended Hubbard model in infinite dimensions

Abstract
We study an extended Hubbard model in the limit of infinite dimensions and its zero-dimensional counterpart, a generalized asymmetric Anderson model. In the impurity model we find three kinds of mixed valence states: (a) the usual strong-coupling state in which a resonance forms at the Fermi level; (b) a weak-coupling state in which neither the impurity spin nor the impurity charge degrees of freedom are quenched; and (c) an intermediate-coupling state where the spin but not the charge degree of freedom is quenched. The corresponding phases of the extended Hubbard model in infinite dimensions are (a) a Fermi liquid; (b) a non-Fermi-liquid state with incoherent charge and spin excitations; and (c) a non-Fermi-liquid state with incoherent charge but coherent spin excitations. The non-Fermi-liquid phases are incoherent metallic states with vanishing quasiparticle residue, self-similar local correlation functions, and asymptotically decoupled charge and spin excitations. The non-Fermi-liquid phases occur for a wide range of parameters.
