Spin-Peierls ground states and frustration in a multi-band Peierls-Hubbard model

Abstract

We discuss the consequences of including both electron-phonon and electron-electron couplings in multi-band models, focusing on numerical studies of a one-dimensional two-band model in the intermediate regime for both coupling strengths. Spin-Peierls as well as long-period, frustrated ground states are identified, reminisent of those found in antiferromagnetic next-nearest neighbor (ANNNI) models. We speculate on experimentally observable signatures of this rich phase diagram. 1992 PACS: 75.30.Fv, 71.45.Lr, 71.38+i, 64.70.Rh
