Half-filled stripe to N$\acute e$el antiferromagnetism transition in the $t'$-Hubbard model on honeycomb lattice

We study the ground state of the doped Hubbard model on honeycomb lattice with both nearest ($t$) and next-nearest neighboring hoppings ($t'$) in the small doping and strongly interacting region. Previous study on the model without $t'$ showed the ground state is a half-filled stripe. We employ density matrix renormalization group and extrapolate the results with truncation errors in the converged region. In the $t' < 0$ side, we find the half-filled stripe phase at $t' = 0$ is stable against the frustration of $t'$ until a critical point $-0.4 < t'_c < -0.3$, beyond which the ground state switches to anti-ferromagnetic N$\acute e$el phase with charge modulation. With further increase of $t'$ to $-0.7$, the ground state becomes paramagnetic. In the $t' > 0$ side, the half-filled stripe stretches to $t' \approx 0.7$. We don't find obvious enhancement of pairing for the range of $t'$ studied. We study width-4 cylinders in this work but the results for spin, charge, and pairing correlation agree qualitatively for periodic and anti-periodic boundary conditions in the half-filled stripe and anti-ferromagnetic N$\acute e$el phases, suggesting the results are likely to be representative for true two-dimensional systems. The half-filled stripe to anti-ferromagnetic N$\acute e$el phase transition can be realized on real materials or ultra-cold atom platform.
