We show that a system of spinless Fermi particles, localized on the sites of the Bethe lattice with coordination number z and interacting through a repulsive nearest-neighbor interaction, exhibits a phase transition to a charge-ordered state. The phase diagram in the n-T plane is derived. Relevant thermodynamic quantities, such as the free energy, the specific heat, the entropy and the compressibility are analyzed in detail.
We study the influence of an external magnetic field h on the phase diagram of a system of Fermi particles living on the sites of a Bethe lattice with coordination number z and interacting through on-site U and nearest-neighbor V interactions. This is a physical realization of the extended Hubbard model in the narrow-band limit. Our results establish that the magnetic field may dramatically affect the critical temperature below which a long-range charge ordered phase is observed, as well as the behavior of physical quantities, inducing, for instance, magnetization plateaus in the magnetization curves. Relevant thermodynamic quantities - such as the specific heat and the susceptibility - are also investigated at finite temperature by varying the on-site potential, the particle density and the magnetic field.
We study the phase diagram at finite temperature of a system of Fermi particles on the sites of the Bethe lattice with coordination number z and interacting through onsite U and nearest-neighbor V interactions. This is a physical realization of the extended Hubbard model in the atomic limit. By using the equations of motion method, we exactly solve the model. For an attractive intersite potential, we find, at half filling, a phase transition towards a broken particle-hole symmetry state. The critical temperature, as a function of the relevant parameters, has a re-entrant behavior as already observed in the equivalent spin-1 Ising model on the Bethe lattice.
Spinless fermions with local disorder and nearest neighbour repulsion are investigated on a Bethe lattice with infinite branching. Two phases are studied: a homogeneous phase and a checkerboard charge-density wave. Within this framework the model is exactly solved for all values of disorder, interaction and temperature. The transition between the two phases is described in detail. The density of states rho ( omega ), critical interaction U c and order parameter b are calculated. The system displays anomalous behaviour: away from half-filling particle-density fluctuations due to weak disorder and/or low temperatures favour spontaneous symmetry breaking. The authors analyse and explain this unconventional phenomenon.
We investigate the phase diagram of spinless fermions on a square lattice with nearest-neighbor interaction, using the recently developed projective truncation approximation in Green's function equation of motion. For attractive interaction, the ground state is in a homogeneous
p+ip superconducting (SC) phase at high or low fermion densities. Near half filling is a phase separation (PS) between the SC phases. Allowing inhomogeneous solution, we obtain
p-wave SC domains with positive interface energy. As temperature increases, the SC phases transit into normal phases above
Tsc, generating a homogeneous normal phase (far away from
n=1/2), or a PS between normal phases with different densities (close to
n=1/2). Further increasing temperature to
Tps, the PS disappears and the particle-hole symmetry of the Hamiltonian is recovered. For repulsive interaction, depending on the filling, the ground state is in charge-ordered phase (half filling), charge-disordered phase (large hole/particle doping), or PS between them (weak doping). At finite temperature, the regime of charge order phase moves to finite
V and extends to finite doping regime.
We establish the ground-state phase diagram of a spinless fermion model with the nearest and next-nearest-neighbor repulsions via the density-matrix-renormalization-group method. The bond-order (BO) correlation function and its static structure factor can be employed to accurately determine the BO phase boundaries. The first derivative of the charge-density wave (CDW) structure factor and the second derivative of the energy are expect to diverge at the 2k(F)-CDW-BO transition point, which indicates that a second-order transition occurs. We determine the metallic-4k(F)-CDW boundary by analyzing the decay behavior of the charge correlation function near the transition point.
We study ground state properties and particle excitation spectra across a commensurate charge density wave transition in a system of strongly interacting fermions, using series expansion methods and mean-field theory. We consider a 1/3-filled system of spinless fermions on a triangular lattice, with hopping parameter
t, nearest-neighbor repulsion
V, and a sublattice dependent chemical potential ${\ensuremath{\mu}}_{s}$. The phase transition is found to be first order for ${\ensuremath{\mu}}_{s}=0$, but becomes continuous with increasing ${\ensuremath{\mu}}_{s}$. The particle and hole excitation spectra exhibit dramatic changes in the vicinity of the phase transitions and in the charge density wave ordered phase. We discuss the relevance of this study to the pinball Fermi liquid phase postulated theoretically in earlier studies as well as to various strongly correlated triangular lattice materials.
