چکیده

We investigate electron-phonon coupling in many-electron systems using the dynamical mean-field theory in combination with the numerical renormalization group. This nonperturbative method reveals significant precursor effects to the gap formation at intermediate coupling strengths. The emergence of a soft phonon mode and very strong lattice fluctuations can be understood in terms of Kondo-like physics due to the development of a double-well structure in the effective potential for the ions.

ادغام الگوی شبکه‌ای هولشتاین - کاندو برای توصیف نظریه ابررساناهای دمای بالا

  It is a common knowledge that the formation of electron pairs is a necessary ingredient of any theoretical work describing superconductivity. Thus, finding the mechanism of the formation of the electron pairs is of utmost importance. There are some experiments on high transition temperature superconductors which support the electron-phonon (e-ph) interactions as the pairing mechanism (ARPES),...

Optical absorption and single – particle excitations in the 2 D Holstein t – J model

Optical absorption and single–particle excitations in the 2D Holstein t–J model Abstract To discuss the interplay of electronic and lattice degrees of freedom in systems with strong Coulomb correlations we have performed an extensive numerical study of the two–dimensional Holstein t–J model. The model describes the interaction of holes, doped in a quantum antiferromagnet, with a dispersionsless...

2 00 6 Phase diagram of the one dimensional Hubbard - Holstein Model at 1 / 2 and 1 / 4 filling

The Hubbard-Holstein model is one of the simplest to incorporate both electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions. In one dimension at half filling, the Holstein electron-phonon coupling promotes onsite pairs of electrons and a Peierls charge density wave, while the Hubbard onsite Coulomb repulsion U promotes antiferromagnetic correlations and a Mott insulating state. Recent numerical st...

Variational study of the Holstein polaron

The paper deals with the ground and the first excited state of the polaron in the one dimensional Holstein model. Various variational methods are used to investigate both the weak coupling and strong coupling cases, as well as the crossover regime between them. Two of the methods, which are presented here for the first time, introduce new elements to the understanding of the nature of the polar...

Model of the electron-phonon interaction and optical conductivity of Ba(1-x)K(x)BiO(3) superconductors.

We investigate the physical properties of the Ba(1-x)K(x)BiO(3) compounds with a focus on the optical properties. Results from the simple Holstein model, describing a single band coupled to an oxygen breathing mode with parameters derived from first principles calculations, are in excellent agreement with a broad range of experimental information. It accounts for an insulating parent compound a...
