Finite-Temperature Properties across the Charge Ordering Transition -- Combined Bosonization, Renormalization Group, and Numerical Methods

Abstract

We theoretically describe the charge ordering (CO) metal-insulator transition based on a quasi-one-dimensional extended Hubbard model, and investigate the finite temperature ($T$) properties across the transition temperature, $T_{\mathrm{CO}}$. In order to calculate $T$ dependence of physical quantities such as the spin susceptibility and the electrical resistivity, both above and below $T_{\mathrm{CO}}$, a theoretical scheme is developed which combines analytical methods with numerical calculations. We take advantage of the renormalization group equations derived from the effective bosonized Hamiltonian, where Lanczos exact diagonalization data are chosen as initial parameters, while the CO order parameter at finite-$T$ is determined by quantum Monte Carlo simulations. The results show that the spin susceptibility does not show a steep singularity at $T_{\mathrm{CO}}$, and it slightly increases compared to the case without CO because of the suppression of the spin velocity. In contrast, the resistivity exhibits a sudden increase at $T_{\mathrm{CO}}$, below which a characteristic $T$ dependence is observed. We also compare our results with experiments on molecular conductors as well as transition metal oxides showing CO.
