چکیده
Disorder in the 1D spinless Holstein model. Abstract: We investigate a spinless fermion system on a one dimensional lattice interacting locally with the optical modes of a quantized phonon field: the Holstein model. The system is shown to have a disordered ground state, for small enough coupling, at any density. This is in contrast to the non quantized phonon case, the static Holstein model, which at half filling has an ordered ground state for all couplings. §1 Model and results.

Luttinger liquid versus charge density wave behaviour in the one-dimensional spinless fermion Holstein model
We discuss the nature of the different ground states of the half-filled Holstein model of spinless fermions in 1D. In the metallic regime we determine the renormalised effective coupling constant and the velocity of the charge excitations by a density-matrix renormalisation group (DMRG) finite-size scaling approach. At low (high) phonon frequencies the Luttinger liquid is characterised by an at...
متن کاملLuttinger parameters and momentum distribution function for the half-filled spinless fermion Holstein model: A DMRG approach
We reexamine the nature of the metallic phase of the one-dimensional half-filled Holstein model of spinless fermions. To this end we determine the Tomonaga-Luttinger-liquid correlation parameter Kρ by large-scale density-matrix renormalisation-group (DMRG) calculations, exploiting (i) the leading-order scaling relations between the ground-state energy and the single-particle excitation gap and ...
متن کاملTransport of one-dimensional interacting fermions through a barrier.
We study the transport properties of one-dimensional (1D) interacting Fermions through a barrier by numerically calculating the Kohn charge stiffness constant and the relative Drude weight. We find that the transport properties of the 1D Hubbard model are quite different from those of the 1D spinless Fermion model. For example, the presence of the attractive interaction between electrons in the...

Peierls instability and optical response in the one–dimensional half–filled Holstein model of spinless fermions Abstract The effects of quantum lattice fluctuations on the Peierls transition are studied within the one–dimensional Holstein molecular crystal model by means of exact diagonalization methods. Applying a very efficient variational Lanczos technique, the ground–state phase diagram is ...
متن کاملDominant particle - hole contributions to the phonon dy - namics in the spinless one - dimensional Holstein model
– In the spinless Holstein model at half-filling the coupling of electrons to phonons is responsible for a phase transition from a metallic state at small coupling to a Peierls distorted insulated state when the electron-phonon coupling exceeds a critical value. For the adiabatic case of small phonon frequencies, the transition is accompanied by a phonon softening at the Brillouin zone boundary...
