Phase Diagram of the Extended Hubbard Model with Pair Hopping Interaction

Abstract

A one-dimensional model of interacting electrons with on-site $U$, nearest-neighbor $V$, and pair-hopping interaction $W$ is studied at half-filling using the continuum limit field theory approach. The ground state phase diagram is obtained for a wide range of coupling constants. In addition to the insulating spin- and charge-density wave phases for large $U$ and $V$, respectively, we identify bond-located ordered phases corresponding to an enhanced Peierls instability in the system for $W<0$, $|U-2V|<|2W|$, and to a staggered magnetization located on bonds between sites for $W>0$, $|U-2V|<W$. The general ground state phase diagram including insulating, metallic, and superconducting phases is discussed. A transition to the $η_π$-superconducting phase at $|U-2V| \ll 2t \leq W$ is briefly discussed.
