Molecule Formation and the Farey Tree in the One-Dimensional Falicov-Kimball Model

Abstract

The ground state configurations of the one--dimensional Falicov--Kimball model are studied exactly with numerical calculations revealing unexpected effects for small interaction strength. In neutral systems we observe molecular formation, phase separation and changes in the conducting properties; while in non--neutral systems the phase diagram exhibits Farey tree order (Aubry sequence) and a devil's staircase structure. Conjectures are presented for the boundary of the segregated domain and the general structure of the ground states.
