Kinetic Ferromagnetism on a Kagome Lattice

We study strongly correlated electrons on a kagome lattice at 1/6 (and 5/6) filling. They are described by an extended Hubbard Hamiltonian. We are concerned with the limit |t|≪V≪U with a hopping amplitude t, nearest-neighbor repulsion V, and on-site repulsion U. We derive an effective Hamiltonian and show, with the help of the Perron–Frobenius theorem, that the system is ferromagnetic at low temperatures. The robustness of ferromagnetism is discussed and extensions to other lattices are indicated.     «
