Abstract.
We propose a scheme for constructing classical spin Hamiltonians from Hunds coupled spin-fermion models in the limit JH/t →∞. The strong coupling between fermions and the core spins requires self-consistent calculation of the effective exchange in the model, either in the presence of inhomogeneities or with changing temperature. In this paper we establish the formalism and discuss results mainly on the “clean” double exchange model, with self consistently renormalised couplings, and compare our results with exact simulations. Our method allows access to system sizes much beyond the reach of exact simulations, and we can study transport and optical properties of the model without artificial broadening. The method discussed here forms the foundation of our papers [Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 246602 (2003), and Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 126602 (2004)].

The authors use an \({\cal O}(N)\) ‘polynomial expansion’ Monte Carlo technique to access large system sizes ~163. Unfortunately, there seems to be no benchmark or data on this method for systems involving magnetic phase competetion
J.L. Alonso et al., Nucl. Phys. B 596, 587 (2001). The hybrid MC technique can apparently access sizes ~163, far beyond the reach of ED based techniques. However, there does not seem to be any follow up in disordered problems
DMFT cannot capture the quantum interference effects that lead to Anderson localisation. However, in the presence of strong binary disorder an insulating phase can arise due to a gap at the Fermi level, as for example in B.M. Letfulov, J.K. Freericks, Phys. Rev. B 64, 174409 (2001); M. Auslender, E. Kagan, Phys. Rev. B 65, 012408 (2001). This is unlike standard Anderson localisation where the disorder averaged density of states is finite even in the insulating phase

Our method should not be confused with the ‘self-consistent renormalisation’ scheme developed by T. Moriya and coworkers in the context of spin fluctuations in d electron systems

Comparing with results of other recent MC techniques, at n=0.5 the L→∞ extrapolation of both hybrid MC [23] and polynomial expansion MC [22] give Tc ∼0.14t. We do not have finite size scaling data but can guess that our L →∞ Tc will be ~0.18t
