Accurate ground-state phase diagram of the one-dimensional extended Hubbard model at half filling

Abstract

It has been well established that in both the weak- and strong-coupling limits, the phase transition from a spin-density wave (SDW) to a charge-density wave (CDW) in the half-filled extended-Hubbard model occurs precisely at the ratio ${U/V}_{c}=2,$ where U and V are the on-site and intersite electron-electron interactions, respectively. However, a recent density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) study and a previous Monte Carlo simulation jointly suggest a picture that challenges the well-established weak-coupling result. Here, a careful calculation shows such a picture is questionable. In particular, it clarifies the DMRG result, even with a moderate number of states kept in the density matrix, agrees with both the weak- and strong-coupling findings, and predicts a CDW/SDW phase boundary smoothly links those two coupling limits. Possible sources of these previous failures are discussed.

Ground-state phase diagram of the one-dimensional extended Hubbard model: A density-matrix renormalization-group approach

G. P. Zhang

We use the density-matrix renormalization group to calculate the phase diagram of the one-dimensional extended Hubbard chain at half filling. We find that for one specific $U,$ the critical value of ${V}_{c}$ for the charge-density-wave versus spin-density-wave phase transition is smaller than that predicted from the Monte Carlo simulation. Our results are consistent with the strong- and weak-coupling limit results, whereas the previous results from the Monte Carlo simulations deviate from the weak-coupling limit result. As $U$ increases, we find that the first-order phase transition develops gradually. The tricritical point is estimated to occur at ${U}_{c}=4--6,$ not ${U}_{c}=3$ as previously predicted from the Monte Carlo simulation. Due to the topological difference, we observe that with the periodic boundary condition, the phase transition is more abrupt for finite chains of length $N=4M$ than for chains of $N=4M+2,$ where $M$ is an integer, for the same $U$ and $V.$ The difference will diminish in the thermodynamic limit.

Phase Diagram of the One-Dimensional Extended Hubbard Model at Half Filling

Masahisa Tsuchiizu, Akira Furusaki

We reexamine the ground-state phase diagram of the one-dimensional half-filled Hubbard model with on-site and nearest-neighbor repulsive interactions. We calculate second-order corrections to coupling constants in the weak-coupling renormalization-group approach ( g-ology) to show that the bond-charge-density-wave (BCDW) phase exists for weak couplings in between the charge-density-wave (CDW) and spin-density-wave (SDW) phases. We find that the umklapp scattering of parallel-spin electrons destabilizes the BCDW state and gives rise to a bicritical point where the CDW-BCDW and SDW-BCDW continuous-transition lines merge into the CDW-SDW first-order transition line.

Ground-state phase diagram of the one-dimensional half-filled extended Hubbard model

Masahisa Tsuchiizu, Akira Furusaki

We revisit the ground-state phase diagram of the one-dimensional half-filled extended Hubbard model with on-site (U) and nearest-neighbor (V) repulsive interactions. In the first half of the paper, using the weak-coupling renormalization-group approach $(g$-ology) including second-order corrections to the coupling constants, we show that bond-charge-density-wave (BCDW) phase exists for $U\ensuremath{\approx}2V$ in between charge-density-wave (CDW) and spin-density-wave (SDW) phases. We find that the umklapp scattering of parallel-spin electrons disfavors the BCDW state and leads to a bicritical point where the CDW-BCDW and SDW-BCDW continuous-transition lines merge into the CDW-SDW first-order transition line. In the second half of the paper, we investigate the phase diagram of the extended Hubbard model with either additional staggered site potential $\ensuremath{\Delta}$ or bond alternation $\ensuremath{\delta}.$ Although the alternating site potential $\ensuremath{\Delta}$ strongly favors the CDW state (that is, a band insulator), the BCDW state is not destroyed completely and occupies a finite region in the phase diagram. Our result is a natural generalization of the work by Fabrizio, Gogolin, and Nersesyan [Phys. Rev. Lett. $83,$ 2014 (1999)], who predicted the existence of a spontaneously dimerized insulating state between a band insulator and a Mott insulator in the phase diagram of the ionic Hubbard model. The bond alternation $\ensuremath{\delta}$ destroys the SDW state and changes it into the BCDW state (or Peierls insulating state). As a result the phase diagram of the model with $\ensuremath{\delta}$ contains only a single critical line separating the Peierls insulator phase and the CDW phase. The addition of $\ensuremath{\Delta}$ or $\ensuremath{\delta}$ changes the universality class of the CDW-BCDW transition from the Gaussian transition into the Ising transition.

DMRG analysis of the SDW-CDW crossover region in the 1D half-filled Hubbard-Holstein model

Satoshi Ejima, H Fehske

In order to clarify the physics of the crossover from a spin-density-wave (SDW) Mott insulator to a charge-density-wave (CDW) Peierls insulator in one-dimensional (1D) systems, we investigate the Hubbard-Holstein Hamiltonian at half filling within a density matrix renormalisation group (DMRG) approach. Determining the spin and charge correlation exponents, the momentum distribution function, and various excitation gaps, we confirm that an intervening metallic phase expands the SDW-CDW transition in the weak-coupling regime.

Mechanism of CDW-SDW Transition in One Dimension

Masaaki Nakamura

The phase transition between charge- and spin-density-wave (CDW, SDW) phases is studied in the one-dimensional extended Hubbard model at half-filling. We discuss whether the transition can be described by the Gaussian and the spin-gap transitions under charge-spin separation, or by a direct CDW-SDW transition. We determine these phase boundaries by level crossings of excitation spectra which are identified according to discrete symmetries of wave functions. We conclude that the Gaussian and the spin-gap transitions take place separately from weak- to intermediate-coupling region. This means that the third phase exists between the CDW and the SDW states. Our results are also consistent with those of the strong-coupling perturbative expansion and of the direct evaluation of order parameters.

Existence of Bond-Order-Wave Phase in One-Dimensional Extended Hubbard Model

Guanghua Liu, Chun‐Hai Wang

By using the density matrix renormalization group technique, the phase diagram of the half-filling extended Hubbard model is investigated. The conventional order parameter, the two-site entanglement entropy, and the block-block entanglement entropy are analyzed in detail. According to the numerical results, in the weak coupling region, an intermediate bond-order-wave (BOW) phase is shown to exist indeed between the charge-density-wave (CDW) and the spin-density-wave (SDW) phases. The critical phase transition points are determined by the singularity of the first order derivative of two-site entanglement entropy. In strong coupling region, a direct phase transition occurs from SDW phase to CDW phase, and shows discontinuous (first order) character accompanied with energy level crossing. The numerical results support the phase diagram proposed previously by some authors Sengupta et al., (2002); Sandvik et al., (2004); Zhang, (2004). Therefore, the quantum entanglement is a sensitive tool to describe quantum phase transitions in strongly correlated electron systems.
