Ground states of the Falicov-Kimball model with correlated hopping

Abstract

Two-dimensional spinless Falicov-Kimball model (FKM) with correlated hopping is studied perturbatively in the limit of large on-site Coulomb interaction U. In the half filled case (i.e., ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{i}+{\ensuremath{\rho}}_{e}=1,$ where ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{i},{\ensuremath{\rho}}_{e}$ are densities of ions and electrons, respectively) the effective Hamiltonian in spin variables is derived up to terms proportional to ${U}^{\ensuremath{-}3}.$ Unlike the simplest FKM case, it contains odd parity terms (resulting from the correlated hopping) in addition to even parity ones. The ground-state phase diagram of the effective Hamiltonian is examined in the $(a/t,h)$ plane, where $a/t$ is a parameter characterizing strength of the correlated hopping and h is a difference of chemical potentials of two sorts of particles present in the system. It appears to be asymmetric with respect to the change $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{h}\ensuremath{-}h$ and an additional ordered phase is found for a certain interval of $a/t.$

Correlated Hopping in the 1D Falicov--Kimball Model

Z. Gajek, R. Lemański

Both canonical and grand canonical phase diagrams of the one dimensional Falicov-Kimball model (FKM) with correlated hopping are presented for several values of the model parameters. Using the method of restricted phase diagrams the system has been studied in the thermodynamic limit. As compare to the conventional FKM, the diagrams exhibit a loss of the particle-hole symmetry. PACS D5.30.Fk, 71.30+h As the simplest, still non-trivial model of highly correlated electron systems, the Falicov-Kimball model (FKM) attracts growing attention among solid state physicists. It can describe variety of the most intriguing cooperative phenomena, as metal-insulator transition, mixed-valence phenomenon etc. (see e.g. the review [1]). The model deals with itinerant particles (electrons) that can hope between nearest-neighbor sites. Some of lattice sites are occupied by non-movable particles, playing a role of ions or localized electrons; we call them ”ions”. The only interaction in the system is the on-site, Coulomb-type interaction between the electrons and the ions. The interaction generates long-range correlations between the ions. The model has been investigated thoroughly in nineties. Numerous approximate results supplemented with some exact and rigorous statements reported up to now provide a good basis for further extensions of the model towards more realistic physical situations. These include the discussed here model with correlated hopping, according to which the electron hopping rate depends on occupations of relevant sites. The Hamiltonian of the FKM with correlated hopping reads:

Ground-state properties of the Falicov-Kimball model with correlated hopping in two dimensions

Pavol Farkašovský, Natália Tomašovičová

A new numerical method, recently developed to study ground states of the Falicov-Kimball model (FKM), is used to examine the effects of correlated hopping on the ground-state properties of this model in two dimensions. It is shown that the ground-state phase diagram as well as the picture of metal-insulator transitions found for the conventional FKM (without correlated hopping) are substantially changed when the correlated hopping term is added. The effect of correlated hopping is so strong that it can induce the insulator-metal transition, even in the strong-coupling limit, where the ground states of the conventional FKM are insulating for all f-electron densities.

Phase diagram of the two-dimensional t-t' Falicov-Kimball model

Jacek Wojtkiewicz

The ground-state phase diagram of two-dimensional Falicov-Kimball model with nearest-neighbour and next-nearest-neighbour hoppings (characterized by t,t' constants, respectively) has been studied in perturbative regime, i.e. in the case when on-site Coulomb interaction constant U is much larger than t,t' ones. The fourth-order phase diagram exhibits a rich structure, more complicated than for the ordinary Falicov-Kimball model. Possible experimental implications of the presence of nnn term are shortly discussed.

Ground states of the spin‐1/2 Falicov–Kimball model

R. Lemański, Jacek Wojtkiewicz

Abstract The spin‐1/2 Falicov–Kimball model is analyzed perturbatively in the large U limit. In the case of 2D square lattice, the effective Hamiltonian up to terms proportional to U–3 has been obtained, and its ground states have been determined for a range of chemical potentials. The resulting phase diagram appeared to be qualitatively the same as that one for the spinless model. This is rather surprising result, because the effective Hamiltonians are quite different in the both cases.

Falicov-Kimball model and its relation to the Hubbard model: Studies on clusters

Romuald L yżwa, Zbigniew Domański

Ground-state properties of the asymmetric Hubbard model are studied on one-dimensional clusters (rings) with N=6, 8, and 10 sites. The ground-state energy, correlation functions, and phase diagrams are determined for various sets of model parameters. Computations are performed both by exact diagonalization (for N=6) and by an approximate method by which correlation effects can be examined on larger clusters than exact diagonalization allows. In the limiting cases (one limit corresponds to the spinless Falicov-Kimball model and the other to the Hubbard model) our results agree quite well with those obtained analytically for infinite systems.

Two-dimensional spinless Falicov-Kimball model (FKM) with correlated hopping is studied perturbatively in the limit of large on-site Coulomb interaction U. In the half filled case (i.e., \ensuremathρi+\ensuremathρe=1,{\ensuremath{\rho}}_{i}+{\ensuremath{\rho}}_{e}=1,\ensuremathρi​+\ensuremathρe​=1, where \ensuremathρi,\ensuremathρe{\ensuremath{\rho}}_{i},{\ensuremath{\rho}}_{e}\ensuremathρi​,\ensuremathρe​ are densities of ions and electrons, respectively) the effective Hamiltonian in spin variables is derived up to terms proportional to U\ensuremath−3.{U}^{\ensuremath{-}3}.U\ensuremath−3. Unlike the simplest FKM case, it contains odd parity terms (resulting from the correlated hopping) in addition to even parity ones. The ground-state phase diagram of the effective Hamiltonian is examined in the (a/t,h)(a/t,h)(a/t,h) plane, where a/ta/ta/t is a parameter characterizing strength of the correlated hopping and h is a difference of chemical potentials of two sorts of particles present in the system. It appears to be asymmetric with respect to the change h\ensuremath→\ensuremath−h\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{h}\ensuremath{-}hh\ensuremath→​\ensuremath−h and an additional ordered phase is found for a certain interval of a/t.a/t.a/t.
