Dynamical Cluster Approximation Study of Electron Localization in the Extended Hubbard Model

Abstract

We perform a detailed study of the phase transitions and mechanisms of electron localization in the extended Hubbard model using the dynamical cluster approximation on a $2\times 2$ cluster. We explore the interplay of charge order and Mott physics. We find that a nearest-neighbor Coulomb interaction $V$ causes "screening" effects close to the Mott phase transition, pushing the phase boundary to larger values of $U$. We also demonstrate the different effects of $V$ on correlations in metallic and insulating regimes and document the different correlation aspects of charge order and Mott states.
