Comparative Study of a Critical Behavior of a Coupled Spin-Electron Model on a Doubly Decorated Square Lattice in the Canonical and Grand-Canonical Ensemble

Abstract

The critical behavior of a hybrid spin-electron model with localized Ising spins placed on nodal sites and mobile electrons delocalized over bonds between two nodal lattice sites is analyzed by the use of a generalized decoration-iteration transformation. Our attention is primarily concentrated on a rigorous analysis of a critical temperature in canonical and grand-canonical statistical ensemble at two particular electron concentrations, corresponding to a quarter ($\rho =1$) and a half ($\rho =2$) filled case. It is found that the critical temperature of the investigated spin-electron system in the canonical and grand-canonical ensemble may be remarkably different and is very sensitive to the competition among the model parameters like the electron hopping amplitude ($t$), the Ising coupling between the localized spins ($J^{\prime }$), the electrostatic potential ($V$) and the electron concentration ($\rho$). In addition, it is detected that the increasing electrostatic potential has a reduction effect upon the deviation between critical temperatures in both statistical ensembles.
