Phase diagram of the Hubbard chain with two atoms per cell

Abstract: We obtain the quantum phase diagram of the Hubbard chain with alternating on-site energy at half filling. The model is relevant for the ferroelectric perovskites and organic mixed-stack donor-acceptor crystals. For any values of the parameters, the band insulator is separated from the Mott insulator by a dimer phase. The boundaries are determined accurately by crossing of excited levels with particular discrete symmetries. We show that these crossings coincide with jumps of charge and spin Berry phases with a … Show more

“…For this case, a ground-state level crossing of two spin singlets at U = U x (L, δ) (implying a zero exciton gap) was found using exact diagonalization of small systems. 11,12,14 A change of the site inversion symmetry at U = U x was also observed. In Sec.…”

“…Sufficiently accurate DMRG results for these energies can only be obtained for system sizes of up to L = 64, small compared to the ones studied for OBC's, but nevertheless much larger than the ones that can be reached with exact diagonalization. 11,12,13,14 We show results for PBC's for systems with L = 12, 16, 24, 32, and 64, i.e., system sizes with 4n sites, so that the site-inversion symmetry of the ground state is guaranteed to change sign with U , as discussed in Sec. I B.…”

“…(1) represents the Ionic Hubbard Model (IHM) [9][10][11][12][13][14][15] , which was used to describe the neutral-ionic phase transition in mixed-stack charge transfer crystals [16][17][18][19] . As pointed out by Fabrizio, Gogolin and Nersesyan 9 , there exists an unusual spontaneously dimerized insulator phase, the BOW phase, which separates the BI from the Mott insulator (MI) phase 9 .…”
