We obtain the quantum phase diagram of the ionic Hubbard model including electron-hole symmetric density-dependent hopping. The boundaries of the phases are determined by crossing of excited levels with particular discrete symmetries, which coincide with jumps of charge and spin Berry phases with a topological meaning. Reducing the magnitude of the hopping terms that do not change the total number of singly occupied sites with respect to the other one, the region of the phase diagram occupied by the fully gapped spontaneously dimerized insulator (which separates the band insulating and Mott insulating phases) is enlarged, particularly for small values of the alternating on-site energy. This result might be relevant for experiments in cold atoms in which topological charge pumping is observed when alternation in the hopping is included.
Phase Transition in a One-Dimensional Extended Peierls-Hubbard Model with a Pulse of Oscillating Electric Field: II. Linear Behavior in Neutral-to-Ionic Transition
We investigate the local moment formation in the half-filled SU($N$) Hubbard model under a staggered ionic potential. As the Hubbard $U$ increases, the charge fluctuations are suppressed and eventually frozen when $U$ is above a critical value $U_c$, marking the development of well-defined local moment with integer $m$ fermions on the A-sublattice and $(N-m)$ fermions on the B-sublattice, respectively. We obtain an analytical solution for $U_c$ for the paramagnetic ground state within the variational Gutzwiller approximation and renormalized mean field theory. For large $N$, $U_c$ is found to …
Half-filled Hubbard Model on a Bethe lattice with next-nearest neighbor hopping
研究了具有最近邻和次最近邻跃迁$t_1$和$t_2$的Bethe晶格上Néel反铁磁性与顺磁金属-绝缘体跃迁（PMIT）之间的相互作用.我们在本文中集中在半填充的情况。对于$t_2/t_1\to 1$，PMIT超过反铁磁相，并显示出类似于V $_2$ O $_3$的情况。在这个参数制度，我们还观察到一个新的磁相。
Symmetry crossover and excitation thresholds at the neutral-ionic transition of the modified Hubbard model
用价键方法计算了均匀间距的N位修正哈伯德模型的基态、电荷密度和激发能。在中性-离子跃迁（NIT）时，基态分别在周期和反周期边界条件下的4 n，4 n +2环中发生对称性交叉.改进的哈伯德模型在成对侧的抗磁性带绝缘体和共价侧的顺磁性莫特绝缘体之间具有连续的NIT。对于有限N的单重态-三重态（ST）、单重态-单重态（SS）和电荷能隙表明，随着U的增加，ST和SS能隙在NIT处闭合，并且电荷能隙仅在那里消失。双N激励将所有奇点约束到对称交叉的约0.1t。NIT被解释为一个本地化的基态（gs）与有限的间隙对侧和扩展的GS与消失的ST和SS的共价侧的间隙。电荷间隙和电荷刚度表明在过渡金属GS，然而，是无条件不稳定的二聚。
Spin waves and stability of zigzag order in the Hubbard model with spin-dependent hopping terms - Application to the honeycomb lattice compounds ${\rm Na_2 Ir O_3}$ and ${\rm α- Ru Cl_3}$
在含有自旋相关跳跃项的哈伯德模型中研究了蜂窝晶格上锯齿有序态的自旋波。紧急Kitaev，海森堡，Dzyaloshinskiii-Moriya，和非对角自旋相互作用的锯齿状秩序的稳定性的作用进行了研究。虽然DM的相互作用被发现不稳定的锯齿形顺序，二次自旋相关的跳跃项（与结构扭曲）被示出强烈稳定的锯齿形顺序，并占磁晶各向异性，易轴，和自旋波间隙。计算的自旋波色散和能量标度与$\rm α- RuCl_3$和$\rm Na_2 Ir O_3$上的非弹性中子散射测量结果符合得很好。
Interchain coupling effects on photoinduced phase transitions between neutral and ionic phases in an extended Hubbard model with alternating potentials and an electron-lattice coupling
Dispersive Excitations in the One-Dimensional Ionic Hubbard Model
详细研究了具有相互作用$U$的一维离子哈伯德模型。我们重点研究了带绝缘（BI）相和自发二聚绝缘（SDI）相，它出现在增加$U$。通过最近引入的连续酉变换[Krull et al.\ Phys. Rev. B { \bf 86}，125113（2012）]中，我们能够描述甚至接近于从BI到SDI的相变的系统，尽管裸微扰级数在达到该转变之前发散。首先，在全布里渊区确定单个费米子准粒子的色散。其次，我们描述了两个费米子准粒子之间的结合现象，导致一个$S=0$和一个$S=1$激子。后者对应于最低的自旋激发，并定义了通过从BI到SDI的过渡保持有限的自旋间隙。前者在跃迁处变软，表明SDI对应于这些$S=0$激子的凝聚物。这一观点得到了BCS平均场论SDI阶段的证实。
By employing the exact-diagonalization method, we revisit the ground-state phase diagram of the Haldane-Hubbard model on the honeycomb lattice with staggered sublattice potentials. The phase diagram includes the band insulator, Mott insulator, and two Chern insulator phases with Chern numbers C=2 and C=1, respectively. The character of transitions between different phases is studied by analyzing the lower-lying energy levels, excitation gaps, structure factors, and fidelity metric. We find that the C=1 phase can be continuously deformed into the C=2 phase without a gap closure in the periodic …
Ground state (GS) phase diagram of the one dimensional repulsive Hubbard model with both nearest neighbor ($t$) and next-nearest-neighbor ($t^{\prime}$) hopping and a staggered potential ($Δ$) is determined in the case of half-filled band and zero net magnetization within the mean-field theory. The model may be realized by cold atoms in engineered optical lattices. Connection between the peculiarities of the GS phase diagram of the interacting system and the topological Lifshitz transition in GS of free particle chain is discussed. The mean-field Hamiltonian is given by six order parameters, w…
Phase Transition in a One-Dimensional Extended Peierls-Hubbard Model with a Pulse of Oscillating Electric Field: I. Threshold Behavior in Ionic-to-Neutral Transition
The charge dynamical response function of the $t-t'-U$ Hubbard model is investigated on the square lattice in the thermodynamical limit. The correlation function is calculated from Gaussian fluctuations around the paramagnetic saddle-point within the Kotliar and Ruckenstein slave-boson representation. The next-nearest-neighbor hopping only slightly affects the renormalization of the quasiparticle mass. In contrast a negative $t'/t$ notably decreases (increases) their velocity, and hence the zero-sound velocity, at positive (negative) doping. For low (high) density $n \lesssim 0.5$ ($n \gtrsim …
