Ltd, Fujisawa 251, Japan Abstract To investigate the magnetic properties of strongly correlated electron systems, the magnetization curve and the magnetic susceptibility of the infinite-dimensional Hubbard model are calculated using the quantum Monte Carlo method for solving the single-impurity part. For the Bethe lattice, it is found that the magnetization curve is similar to that obtained by the Gutzwiller approximation: the curve rises steeply towards the saturation value near the metal-insulator (MI) transition, in contrast with the result obtained by Georges and Krauth for the simple hypercubic lattice. The susceptibility is consistent with X ~ (Uc - U)-1 except near the MI transition, and rather close to the Gutzwiller result.
Strongly interacting electrons show a variety of interesting magnetic properties [1,2]. Recent progress in the study of the correlated lattice models in the limit of high spatial dimension [3] has opened a new possibility for understanding such systems. In the limit of infinite spatial dimension, d = at, of the Hubbard model,

the self-energy becomes wavenumber-independent, so that the lattice problem is reduced to that of an impurity embedded in an effective medium, which must be determined self-consistently. In the case of the Bethe lattice, the self-consistent equations become rather simple [4,5]: the first one is G~(iEn)=[iEn-(wZ/4)G~(iE,)] -1, where (~,~(iEn) denotes the local Green functions (GF) for the effective medium and G,~(ie,) that of the whole system. The second equation is given by the quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) procedure [6] to solve the full Green function G,,(ie,) from (~tr as the unperturbed local GF: (~,(ie) G~,(e). We repeat these two steps until self-consistency is achieved. The density of states of the Bethe lattice is given by p(e) = (2/-rrW)[1 - ( e / W ) 2 ] 1/2, where W = 2~/-dt. We show the results for the case of half-filling in the following. Antiferromagnetic instability takes place for U > 0, but we assume that it is suppressed by certain modification of the hopping and that the system remains paramagnetic
[7]. We set W = 1, the temperature T = 1 / 3 2 and the Trotter size L = 64 in the QMC; hence, AT = 1 / L T = 0.5. We use 20000 sweeps for each single-impurity QMC calculation. At the present temperature, the MI transition takes place at U ~- 2.6 -= Uc. At lower temperatures, however, a sharp Kondo peak remains at the Fermi energy [5] and it is expected that Uc will become slightly larger (Uc = 3 has been reported in Refs. [8,9]). We first compared the values of (m 2) (m = n r - n ~ ) at H = 0 with the perturbational calculation up to o(U): ( m 2 ) = ~1 +

The results of the magnetization curve are shown in Fig. 2 The dotted line indicates the exact curve for U = 0. The initial magnetization curve becomes steeper when U increases from 0, and the curve at U = 2 shows slight upturn, indicating a first-order transition. These behaviors agree qualitatively with the variational calculation within the Gutzwiller approximation [10], but differ from those in Ref. [11] for the hypercubic lattice, where the magnetization curve increases only smoothly.

If there is no coupling between the local magnetic moments, the susceptibility g would diverge at the MI transition point, since the width T K of the Kondo peak at E F becomes infinitely small [5,9], and X ~ TK 1. But even in the limit d ~ w, the magnetic coupling remains finite since the exchange J ~ ~ j ( t / ~ / d ) 2 / U ~ t 2 / U , so that x ~ ( T K + J ) -1 does not diverge [7]. Except near the transition point, however, we find that X-~, calculated from the initial slopes of the magnetization curves in Fig. 2, is rather close to the Gutzwiller variational calculation [10]:
