Charge-density-wave instability in the Holstein model with quartic anharmonic phonons
arXiv:1007.2341 · doi:10.1143/JPSJ.78.094007
Abstract
The molecular-crystal model, that describes a one-dimensional electron gas interacting with quartic anharmonic lattice vibrations, offers great potentials in the mapping of a relatively wide range of low-dimensional fermion systems coupled to optical phonons onto quantum liquids with retarded interactions. Following a non-perturbative approach involving non-Gaussian partial functional integrations of lattice degrees of freedom, the exact expression of the phonon-mediated two-electron action for this model is derived. With the help of Hubbard-Stratonovich transformation the charge-density-wave instability is examined in the sequel, with particular emphasis on the effect of the quartic anharmonic phonons on the charge-density-wave transition temperature.
