Abstract
The Hubbard model on the Kagomé lattice is investigated in a metallic phase at half filling. By introducing anisotropic electron hopping on the lattice, we control geometrical frustration and clarify how the lattice geometry affects physical properties. By means of the fluctuation exchange approximation, we calculate the spin and charge susceptibilities, the one-particle spectral function, the quasiparticle renormalization factor, and the Fermi velocity. It is found that geometrical frustration of the Kagomé lattice suppresses the instability to various ordered states through the strong reduction of the wave-vector dependence of susceptibilities, thereby stabilizing the formation of quasiparticles due to the almost isotropic spin fluctuations in the Brillouin zone. These characteristic properties are discussed in connection with the effects of geometrical frustration in the strong-coupling regime.Keywords
