Various auxiliary-particle approaches to treat electron correlations in many-electron models are analyzed. Applications to copper-oxide layered systems are discussed. The ground-state magnetic phase diagrams are considered within the Hubbard and s-d exchange (Kondo) models for square and simple cubic lattices vs. band filling and interaction parameter. A generalized Hartree-Fock approximation is employed to treat commensurate ferro-, antiferromagnetic, and incommensurate (spiral) magnetic phases, and also magnetic phase separation. The correlations are taken into account within the Hubbard model by using the slave-boson approach. The main advantage of this approach is correct estimating the contribution of doubly occupied states number and therefore the paramagnetic phase energy. PACS numbers: 71.27.+a, 75.10.Lp, 71.30.+h Magnetic properties of strongly correlated transitionmetal compounds and their relation to doping, lattice geometry, band structure and interaction parameters are still being extensively investigated. In particular, the details of magnetic order in the ground state remain to be examined both theoretically and experimentally. During recent decades, the two-dimensional (2D) case closely related to the problem of high-temperature superconductivity in cuprates and iron arsenides has been intensively investigated theoretically.The ground state of strongly correlated systems is characterized by a competition of ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering which results in occurrence of spiral magnetic ordering [1] or the magnetic phase separation [1][2][3]. The consideration of these problems is performed within a number of many-electron models. In the present work we discuss theoretical approaches to treat these model within auxiliary-particle representations (Sect.1) and present some results of numerical calculations (Sect.2).
I. THEORETICAL MODELS AND SLAVE PARTICLE REPRESENTATIONSTo describe the properties of such systems one uses many-electron models like the Hubbard, s-d exchange (Kondo) and Anderson lattice models. These are widely applied, e. g., for high-T c cuprates and rare earth compounds. There exist some relations (mappings) between these models in various parameter regions.The Hamiltonian of the Hubbard model readswhere c † iσ are electron creation operators. In the limit of large Hubbard parameter U and band filling n < 1 (hole doping) this is reduced to the t − J modeli | are the Hubbard X-operators acting on the i site local subspace [4], J ij = 2t 2 ij /U . To proceed with analytical and numerical calculations, it is convenient to use auxiliary ("slave") boson and fermion representations. In connection with the theory of high-temperature superconductors, Anderson [5] put forward the idea of the separation of the spin and charge degrees of freedom of electron (σ = ±1):Here, f † iσ are the creation operators for neutral fermions (spinons), and e † i , d † i are the creation operators for charged spinless bosons (holons and doublons). For large U , we have to retain only ...
