Effects of a k⃗-dependent Hybridisation on the Fermi surface of an extended d–p Hubbard model

ABSTRACT

The topology of the Fermi surface of an extended d–p Hubbard model is investigated using Green's function technique in a n-pole approximation. The effects of the d–p hybridisation on the Fermi surface are the main focus in the present work. Nevertheless, the effects of doping, Coulomb interaction and hopping to second-nearest-neighbours on the Fermi surface, are also studied. Particularly, it is shown that the crossover from hole-like to electron-like Fermi surface (Lifshitz transition) is deeply affected by the d–p hybridisation. Moreover, the pseudogap present in the low doping regime is also affected by the hybridisation. The results show that both the doping and the hybridisation act in the sense of suppresses the pseudogap. Therefore, the systematic investigation of the Fermi surface topology, shows that not only the doping but also the hybridisation can be considered as a control parameter for both the pseudogap and the Lifshitz transition. Assuming that the hybridisation is sensitive to external pressure, the present results agree qualitatively with recent experimental data for the cuprate Nd-LSCO.
