Novel Collective Mode in Quarter-Filled SDW States with Next-Nearest-Neighbor Coulomb Interaction
Yuh Tomio, Yoshikazu Suzumura
Abstract
The collective modes representing density fluctuation in a spin density wave (SDW) have been examined for a one-dimensional electron system of a quarter-filled extended Hubbard model with the next-nearest-neighbor interaction ( V 2 ). Within the random phase approximation (RPA), we obtain a new collective mode, which appears with increasing V 2 . The mode describes the relative motion between density wave with up spin and that with down spin. The gap in the excitation spectrum vanishes at a critical value of V 2 corresponding to the onset of the coexistence of 2 k F -SDW, 2 k F -charge density wave and 4 k F -SDW in the ground state ( k F being the Fermi wave vector).
