Magnetic Susceptibility and Simulated Neutron Signal in the 2D Hubbard Model

We compute dynamic spin susceptibilities in the two-dimensional Hubbard model using the method of Dual Fermions and provide comparison to lattice Monte Carlo and cluster dynamical mean field theory. We examine the energy dispersion identified by peaks in ${\rm Im}\chi(\omega,q)$ which define spin modes and compare the exchange scale and magnon dispersion to neutron experiments on the parent La$_2$CuO$_4$ cuprate. We present the evolution of the spin excitations as a function of Hubbard interaction strengths and doping and explore the particle-hole asymmetry of the spin excitations. We also study the correlation lengths and the spin excitation dispersion peak structure and find a `Y'-shaped dispersion similar to neutron results on doped HgBa$_2$CuO$_{4+\delta}$.
