The one-dimensional extended t-V model of fermions on a lattice is a model with long-range interactions that exhibits a transition between a Luttinger liquid conducting phase and a Mott insulating phase. It is known that by tailoring the potential energy of the insulating system, one can force a phase transition into another insulating phase. We show how to construct all possible charge density wave phases of the system with low critical densities in the atomic limit. Higher critical densities are investigated by a brute-force analysis of the basis of finite systems.

We employ a strong coupling expansion - similar to the one used in the lattice field theory studies [1] - to solve the one-dimensional extended t-V model of fermions on a lattice [2]. This model is solved for a range of filling factors, including both commensurate - where a charge density wave is present - and incommensurate densities. The first set consists not only of a trivial case of half filling. The method allows us to trace the transition from a Luttinger liquid phase to a Mott insulating phase and calculate the critical parameter K. This simple yet powerful method is not based on Bethe ansatz and it works for both integrable and non-integrable systems. Furthermore, we investigate how tailoring the interaction can introduce other ordered phases of the system [3].References:[1] C.J. Hamer, Phys. Lett. B 82, 75-78 (1979); D.P. Crewther, C.J.

We have obtained the quantum phase diagram of one dimensional extended Bose-Hubbard model using the density-matrix renormalization group and Abelian bosonization methods for different commensurabilities. We describe the nature of different quantum phases at the charge degeneracy point. We find a direct phase transition from Mott insulating phase to superconducting phase for integer band fillings of bosons. We predict explicitly the presence of two kinds of repulsive Luttinger liquid phases, apart from the charge density wave and superconducting phases for half-integer band fillings. Our study reveals that extended range interactions are necessary to get the correct phase boundary of an one-dimensional interacting bosons system.
The low--energy excited states of a system of interacting one--dimensional fermions in a conducting state are collective charge and spin density oscillations. The unusual physical properties of such a system (called ``Luttinger liquid'') are characterized by the velocities uρ and uσ of the charge and spin excitations, as well as by a parameter Kρ that determines the power law behavior of correlation functions. Umklapp scattering occuring at half--filling or other commensurate bandfilling can lead to a transition into an insulating state, characterized in particular by a gap in the charge excitations (the Mott--Hubbard gap). The properties in the vicinity of the transition are shown to depend on both the way the transition is approached (constant bandfilling and varying interaction, or constant interaction and varying bandfilling) and on the ``order'' of the commensurability. In particular, even and odd fractional fillings show quite different behavior. This behavior is illustrated in detail using lattice models like the Hubbard model and its extensions.
We study low-dimensional quantum systems with analytical and computational methods. Firstly, the one-dimensional extended t-V model of fermions with interactions of a finite range is investigated. The model exhibits a phase transition between liquid and insulating regimes. We use various analytical approaches to generalise previous theoretical studies. We devise a strong coupling expansion to go beyond first-order perturbation theory. The method is insensitive to the presence or the lack of integrability of the system. We extract the ground state energy and critical parameters of the model near the Mott insulating commensurate density. We also study the possible charge-density-wave phases that exist when the model is at the critical density. Secondly, we investigate Mott-Wannier complexes of two (excitons), three (trions) and four (biexcitons) charge carriers in two-dimensional semiconductors. Our study also includes impurity-bound complexes. We provide a classification of trions and biexcitons in transition-metal dichalcogenides, which incorporates the difference of spin polarisation between molybdenum- and tungsten-based materials. Using the diffusion Monte Carlo method, which is statistically exact for these systems, we extract binding energies of the complexes for a complete set of parameters of the model. Our results are compared with theoretical and experimental work on transition-metal dichalcogenides. An agreement is found for excitonic and trionic results, but we also observe a large discrepancy in the theoretical biexcitonic binding energies as compared to the experimental values. Possible reasons for this are outlined. We also calculate contact pair densities, which in the future can be used in the determination of the contact interaction.
We solve a very general two-channel fermion-boson model describing charge transport within some background medium by means of a refined pseudosite density-matrix renormalization group technique. Performing a careful finite-size scaling analysis, we determine the ground-state phase diagram and convincingly prove that the model exhibits a metal-insulator quantum phase transition for the half-filled band case. In order to characterize the metallic and insulating regimes we calculate, besides the local particle densities and fermion-boson correlation functions, the kinetic energy, the charge-structure factor, the Luttinger liquid charge exponent, and the single-particle excitation gap for a one-dimensional infinite system.
