Gap to Transition Temperature Ratio in Density Wave Ordering: a Dynamical Mean Field Study

Abstract

We use the dynamical mean-field method to determine the origin of the large ratio of the zero temperature gap to the transition temperature observed in most charge density wave materials. The method is useful because it allows an exact treatment of thermal fluctuations. We establish the relation of the dynamical mean-field results to conventional diagrammatics and thereby determine that in the physically relevant regime the origin of the large ratio is a strong inelastic scattering.
