Soliton Energetics in Peierls-Hubbard Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the effect of electron-electron correlations on the energetics of solitons in electron-phonon models of quasi one-dimensional materials, In these combined PeierlsHubbard models, by use of quantum Monte Carlo techniques, we (l) establish that the ground state of an odd chain, singly charged or neutral, is a soliton; (2) calculate neutralsoliton creation energies; and (3) prove that "soliton doping" persists in the presence of correlations. We discuss the relevance of our results for trans-polyacetylene.

Modeling electron-electron interactions in reduced-dimensional materials: Bond-charge Coulomb repulsion and dimerization in Peierls-Hubbard models.
To the conventional Peierls-Hubbard model, involving both on-site ( U) and nearest-neighbor ( V) Coulomb repulsions, we add "o5'-diagonal" terms, not expressible purely in terms of site densities, representing bond-bond ( F) and mixed bond-site (X) electron-electron repulsive interactions involving nearest neighbors. We review earlier analyses of these interactions and discuss relative magnitud...
متن کاملStudy of the ionic Peierls-Hubbard model using density matrix renormalization group methods
Density matrix renormalization group methods are used to investigate the quantum phase diagram of a one-dimensional half-filled ionic Hubbard model with bond-charge attraction, which can be mapped from the Su-SchriefferHeeger-type electron-phonon coupling at the antiadiabatic limit. A bond order wave (dimerized) phase which separates the band insulator from the Mott insulator always exists as l...
متن کاملOrdered phases in spin-Peierls systems
The microscopic description of spin-Peierls substances is discussed. Particular attention is paid to the ordered (dimerised and incommensurably modulated) phases. Important points are the adiabatic and the antiadiabatic approach, generic soliton forms, elastic and magnetic interchain couplings. The wealth and the accuracy of experimental information collected for the first inorganic spin-Peierl...
متن کامل2 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...
متن کاملThermal transport for many-body tight-binding models
We clarify some aspects of the calculation of the thermal transport coefficients. For a tight-binding Hamiltonian we discuss the approximate nature of the charge current and the thermal current obtained by Peierls substitution which is also identical to the equation of motion technique. We address the issue of choosing an appropriate basis for making the Peierls construction for transport calcu...
