Double Exchange Ferromagnetism in the Peierls Insulator State

Abstract

We study the effects of opening of the band gap on the double exchange ferromagnetism. Applying the density-matrix renormalization group method and an analytical expansion from the dimer limit to the one-dimensional double exchange model, we demonstrate for a relevant region of the exchange coupling that, in the weak dimerization regime, the Peierls gap opens in the fully spin-polarized conduction band without affecting its ferromagnetism, whereas in the strong dimerization regime, the ferromagnetism is destroyed and the Mott gap opens instead, leading the system to the antiferromagnetic quasi-long-range order. An insulator version of the double exchange ferromagnetism is thus established.
