Krishna, P. M.Chatterjee, A.2016-02-082016-02-0820070921-4534http://hdl.handle.net/11693/23439The one-dimensional half-filled Holstein-Hubbard model is studied using a series of canonical transformations including phonon coherence effect that partly depends on the electron density and is partly independent and also incorporating the on-site and the nearest-neighbour phonon correlations and the exact Bethe-ansatz solution of Lieb and Wu. It is shown that choosing a better variational phonon state makes the polarons more mobile and widens the intermediate metallic region at the charge-density-wave-spin-density-wave crossover recently predicted by Takada and Chatterjee. The presence of this metallic phase is indeed a favourable situation from the point of view of high temperature superconductivity.EnglishCarrier concentrationCoherent lightCorrelation methodsPhase transitionsPhononsPolaronsCoherence effectsMetallic phasePhonon correlationSpin densityHubbard modelArticle10.1016/j.physc.2007.02.015
