Popis: Constrained-path quantum Monte Carlo method is applied to study the pairing correlation in the checkerboard Hubbard model with inhomogeneous nearest-neighbor hopping at a low doping of holes. The inhomogeneous hopping can enhance the pairing correlation among different plaquette clusters. An obvious maximum for the pairing correlation is observed at a certain inhomogeneous hopping. The cluster pairing correlation shows the strongest long-range behavior at the optimal inhomogeneity. The enhancement of cluster pairing correlation might be associated with the transition of the Fermi surface structure. This work indicates that the inhomogeneous hopping could tailor the pairing correlation effectively.
