Title: Low quasiparticle coherence temperature in the one band-Hubbard model: A slave-boson approach,
Abstract: We use the Kotliar-Ruckenstein slave-boson formalism to study the temperature
dependence of paramagnetic phases of the one-band Hubbard model for a variety
of band structures. We calculate the Fermi liquid quasiparticle spectral weight
$Z$ and identify the temperature at which it decreases significantly to a
crossover to a bad metal region. Near the Mott metal-insulator transition, this
coherence temperature $T_\textrm{coh}$ is much lower than the Fermi temperature
of the uncorrelated Fermi gas, as is observed in a broad range of strongly
correlated electron materials. After a proper rescaling of temperature and
interaction, we find a universal behavior that is independent of the band
structure of the system. We obtain the temperature-interaction phase diagram as
a function of doping, and we compare the temperature dependence of the double
occupancy, entropy, and charge compressibility with previous results obtained
with Dynamical Mean-Field Theory. We analyse the stability of the method by
calculating the charge compressibility.
