Analytical approach to the quantum-phase transition in the one-dimensional spinless Holstein model

Abstract: Abstract. We study the one-dimensional Holstein model of spinless fermions interacting with dispersionless phonons by using a recently developed projector-based renormalization method (PRM). At half-filling the system shows a metal-insulator transition to a Peierls distorted state at a critical electron-phonon coupling where both phases are described within the same theoretical framework. The transition is accompanied by a phonon softening at the Brillouin zone boundary and a gap in the electronic spectrum. Fo… Show more

“…In accordance with the analytical results of Refs. [17,25], a hybridization of the phonon mode with the particle-hole continuum is also visible near q = π , and gives rise to damping of the phonon excitations. The above explanation suggests that the small-q feature is absent deep in the insulating Peierls phase, because the latter does not have low-energy excitations near q = 0.…”

“…The phonon spectrum of the 1D, half-filled spinless Holstein model was studied in Refs. [17,19,22,23,25]. Numerical results were obtained using exact diagonalization (restricted to small cluster sizes) [19], cluster perturbation theory (with artifacts related to the inherent translation symmetry breaking) [19], and QMC (restricted in cluster size and temperature, and with a Trotter error) [22].…”

“…Examples are the investigation of phonon-mediated superconductivity starting from an explicit expression for the electron-phonon interaction 30 and the discussion of the metal-insulator transition in the Holstein model. 31 Many-particle systems in the presence of strong correlations such as the PAM were also investigated. 32 In contrast to the slave-boson mean-field treatment, 33 the PRM maps the periodic Anderson model onto an effective model of two independent subsystems of renormalized conduction and f electrons, thereby still taking into account the strong correlations between the localized f electrons.…”

“…This allows a unified treatment of quantum phase transition on both sides of a critical point. 31 In the present investigation an extension of the PRM to continuous transformations will be used which is the better choice for the periodic Anderson model.…”
