摘要
We have considered the half-filled disordered attractive Hubbard model on a square lattice, in which the on-site attraction is switched off on a fraction f of sites, while keeping a finite U on the remaining ones. Through quantum Monte Carlo simulations for several values of f and U and for system sizes ranging from 8x8 to 16x16, we have calculated the configurational averages of the equal-time pair structure factor P(s) and, for a more restricted set of variables, the helicity modulus rho(s), as functions of temperature. Two finite-size scaling Ansatze for P(s) have been used: one for zero temperature and the other for finite temperatures. We have found that the system sustains superconductivity in the ground state up to a critical impurity concentration f(c), which increases with U, at least up to U=4 (in units of the hopping energy). Also, the normalized zero-temperature gap as a function of f shows a maximum near f similar to 0.07 for 2 less than or similar to U less than or similar to 6. Analyses of the helicity modulus and of the pair structure factor led to the determination of the critical temperature as a function of f for U=3, 4, and 6: they also show maxima near f similar to 0.07, with the highest T(c) increasing with U in this range. We argue that, overall, the observed behavior results from both the breakdown of charge-density-wave-superconductivity degeneracy and the fact that free sites tend to "push" electrons toward attractive sites; the latter effect being more drastic at weak couplings.
