Correlated squeezed polaron states in one dimension

Abstract

In this paper we have applied the correlated squeezed-state approach to investigate the ground-state properties of the one-dimensional Hubbard model with a local Holstein-type electron-phonon interaction. We have introduced a variational ground state in which the phonon subsystem is in a correlated squeezed state. The correlated squeezed state has built in the correlation between different phonon modes induced by the linear coupling with the electrons. With optimal values of the variational parameters the correlated squeezed state will by construction yield an energy lower than those obtained in earlier treatments. This means that our variational ansatz is more stable as the ground state of the system. Furthermore, our variational study shows that in the correlated squeezed state the polaronic reduction effect of phonons is much more alleviated, and thus the mass enhancement inherent to the polaron effect is considerably weakened. This weakening of the reduction effect should, in turn, affect other physical properties of the system.

Correlated squeezed-state approach for the ground state of a system with strong electron-phonon interaction

Chi‐Fai Lo, Efstratios Manousakis, Roger Sollie +1 more

We have investigated the ground state of an electron-phonon system with strong electron-phonon interaction and a weak on-site Coulomb repulsion using the correlated squeezed-state approach. We have introduced a variational ground state in which the phonon subsystem is in a correlated squeezed state and the electron subsystem is in a superconducting pairing state. In addition to the anharmonicity of each phonon mode induced by the linear coupling with the electrons, the correlated squeezed state is able to take into account the nonlinearity of the induced interaction between different phonon modes beyond the Hartree approximation. Also, with optimal values of the variational parameters this trial state will by construction yield an energy lower than those obtained in previous studies, and thus our variational ansatz is a more stable ground state for this system. Furthermore, in this approximate ground state the reduction effect of phonons is much more alleviated, and thus the mass enhancement inherent to the polaron effect is considerably weakened. This weakening of the reduction effect should, in turn, affect other physical properties of the system; for instance, it does suggest the possibility of higher critical temperatures for superconductivity in the strong-coupling limit where the superfluidlike bipolaronic superconductivity is supposed to occur.

The Stabilities of the Ground State and the Polaron Arising from the Squeezing ? Antisqueezing Effect in Strongly Coupled Electron ? Phonon Systems

Pang Xiao‐feng

The influences of the squeezing–antisqueezing effect arising from variations of the electron density and motion of polarons and nonadiabatic phonon fluctuations on the properties of the ground state and the binding energy of the polaron in the Holstein model of coupled one-dimensional electron–phonon systems with spin 1/2 in the cases of high and low electron densities have been studied by using the Bogolyubov transformation and a new ansatz for states that includes correlation effects among the one-phonon coherent and two-phonon squeezed and polaronic states. The results obtained show that the squeezing–antisqueezing (correlation) effect results in that the ground state energy of the systems is significantly lowered, and the binding energy of the polaron is considerably increased. Thus, the stability of the systems and of the polaron are obviously enhanced in such a case when compared with the uncorrelated case. This shows that the ground state determined by the new state ansatz is most stable, and the new ansatz introduced here is very relevant for the coupled electron–phonon systems, especially in strongly coupled and largely squeezed cases.

Properties of the Squeezed Polarons in One Dimension

Xiyu Su, Hang Zheng

An electron related squeezed phonon transformation is employed to investigate the ground state properties of the strongly coupled electron–phonon system in one dimension. It has been shown that the binding energy of the polaron and the interaction between the polarons are renormalized together with the energy reducement of the electron subsystem resulted from the squeeze state of the phonon subsystem. Some relevance with the earlier variational treatments has been discussed as well.

The properties of the ground state of the nonadiabatically coupled electron-phonon systems with correlated displacement and squeezing

Pang Xiao‐feng, Ping Li

Effects of the nonadiabatic phonon fluctuations on the ground state of coupled one-dimensional electron-phonon systems with high and low electron-densities were investigated by a new ansatz including correlated interaction of the displacement and squeezing. The correlated effect resulted in noticeable reduction of ground state energy of the systems, and obvious increases of binding energy of the polarons occurred. Thus, the stabilities of the polaron and of the systems were significantly enhanced, exactly steady ground state of the Holstein model, then, was obtained by the new ansatz for the coupled electron-phonon systems. In general, the new ansatz were found to be very relevant for the strong coupling and large squeezing cases in nonadiabatically coupled electron-photon systems.

Variational Approach to One-Dimensional Electrons Non-Adiabatically Coupled to Phonons

Pang Xiao‐feng

The effects of the nonadiabatic phonon behaviours on the ground state of the system and the quantum modifications of the polaron characteristics and the modification form of the uncertainty relation between the phonon coordinate and momentum due to fluctuations of the electron density in the coupled electron-phonon systems have been studied by using a new variational ansatz for coherent phonons with correlated displacement and squeezing including internations with electrons. The correlated effect results in the following effect: (1) the energy of the ground state of the system is found to be lower than that for the phonons with uncorrelated displacement and squeezing; (2) the binding energy of the polaron was found to be increased; (3) the nonadiabatic coupling with electrons enhances the quantum uncertainty for the phonon coordinate and momentum when compared with the adiabatic and uncorrelated case.

Properties of ground state and anomalous quantum fluctuations in one-dimensional polaron—soliton systems—the effects of electron-two-phonon interaction and non-adiabatic quantum correlations

罗质华, 曹锡金, 余超凡

Based on the Holstein model Hamiltonian of one-dimensional molecular crystals, by making use of the expansion approach of the correlated squeezed-coherent states of phonon instead of the two-phonon coherent state expansion scheme, the properties of the ground state and the anomalous quantum fluctuations are investigated in a strongly coupled electron—phonon system with special consideration of the electron-two-phonon interaction. The effective renormalization ( i ) of the displacement of the squeezed phonons with the effect of the squeezed-coherent states of phonon and both the electron-displaced phonon and the polaron-squeezed phonon correlations have been combined to obtain the anomalous quantum fluctuations for the corrections of the coherent state. Due to these non-adiabatic correlations, the effective displacement parameter i is larger than the ordinary parameter α i (0) . In comparison with the electron-one-phonon interaction ( g ) corrected as i g , we have found the electron-two-phonon interaction ( g 1 ) corrected as i 2 g 1 is enhanced significantly. For this reason, the ground state energy ( E 0 (2) ) contributed by the electron-two-phonon interaction is more negative than the single-phonon case ( E 0 (1) ) and the soliton solution is more stable. At the same time, the effects of the electron-two-phonon interaction greatly increase the polaron energy and the quantum fluctuations. Furthermore, in a deeper level, we have considered the effect of the polaron-squeezed phonon correlation ( f -correlation). Since this correlation parameter f > 1, this effect will strengthen the electron-one and two-phonon interactions by f i g and f 2 i 2 g 1 , respectively. The final results show that the ground state energy and the polaron energy will appear more negative further and the quantum fluctuations will gain further improvement.
