Abstract
By means of the exact-diagonalization method we have studied the finite-size two-band model with the interband pair-transfer interaction by calculating the superconducting (SC) correlation function P s etc. in the ground state. Occurrence of SC was clearly indicated by the increase of P s . The diagram of the observed SC region was constructed in the plane of the relative position of the second band versus on-site Coulomb energy U . In the low-density limit it proved close to the region where a negative- U situation is realized by the pair-transfer interaction. On the high-density side, the SC region was found to be more extended than the latter in accord with the previous interband-ladder-diagram results. Inclusion of the exchange interaction was found to reduce the SC region in a restricted region where two bands substantially share electrons. The two-band situations in cuprates are argued to be relevant to the high T c through the present mechanism.
