Broken-Symmetry Ground States of Halogen-Bridged Binuclear Metal Complexes
arXiv:cond-mat/9905312 · doi:10.1016/S0375-9601(99)00352-7
Abstract
Based on a symmetry argument, we study ground states of what we call MMX-chain compounds, which are the new class of halogen-bridged metal complexes. Commensurate density-wave solutions of a relevant multi-band Peierls-Hubbard model are systematically revealed within the Hartree-Fock approximation. We numerically draw ground-state phase diagrams, where various novel density-wave states appear.
