Differences between hole and electron doping of a two-leg CuO ladder

Here we report results of a density-matrix-renormalization-group calculation of the charge, spin, and pairing properties of a two-leg CuO Hubbard ladder. The outer oxygen atoms as well as the rung and leg oxygen atoms areincluded along with near-neighbor and oxygen-hopping matrix elements. This model allows us to study the effects of hole and electron doping on a system that is a charge-transfer insulator at a filling of one hole per Cu and exhibits power law, d-wave-like pairing correlations when doped. In particular, we focus on the differences between doping with holes and with electrons.
