Spin Hall conductivity in the Kane-Mele-Hubbard model at finite temperature
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Kane-Mele model is known to show a quantized spin Hall conductivity at zero temperature. Including Hubbard interactions at each site leads to a quantum phase transition to an XY antiferromagnet at sufficiently high interaction strength. Here, we use the two-particle self-consistent approach (TPSC), which we extend to include spin-orbit coupling, to investigate the Kane-Mele-Hubbard model at finite temperature and half filling. TPSC is a weak to intermediate coupling approach capable of calculating a frequency- and momentum-dependent self-energy from spin and charge fluctuations. We present results for the spin Hall conductivity and correlation lengths for antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations for different values of temperature, spin-orbit coupling, and Hubbard interaction. The vertex corrections, which here are analogs of Maki-Thompson contributions, show a strong momentum dependence and give a large contribution in the vicinity of the phase transition at all temperatures. Their inclusion is necessary to observe the quantization of the spin Hall conductivity for the interacting system in the zero-temperature limit. At finite temperature, increasing the Hubbard interaction leads to a decrease of the spin Hall conductivity. This decrease can be explained by band-gap renormalization from scattering of electrons on antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
