Using a high-frequency expansion in periodically driven extended Hubbard models, where the strengths and ranges of density-density interactions are arbitrary, we obtain the effective interactions and bandwidth, which depend sensitively on the polarization of the driving field. Then, we numerically calculate modulations of correlation functions in a quarter-filled extended Hubbard model with nearest-neighbor interactions on a triangular lattice with trimers after monocycle pulse excitation. We discuss how the resultant modulations are compatible with the effective interactions and bandwidth derived above on the basis of their dependence on the polarization of photoexcitation, which is easily accessible by experiments. Some correlation functions after monocycle pulse excitation are consistent with the effective interactions, which are weaker or stronger than the original ones. However, the photoinduced enhancement of anisotropic charge correlations previously discussed for the three-quarter-filled organic conductor $alpha$-(bis[ethylenedithio]-tetrathiafulvalene)$_2$I$_3$ [$alpha$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$] in the metallic phase is not fully explained by the effective interactions or bandwidth, which are derived independently of the filling.
Many-electron dynamics induced by a symmetric monocycle electric-field pulse of large amplitude is theoretically investigated in one- and two-dimensional half-filled extended Hubbard models on regular lattices (i.e., without dimerization) using the exact diagonalization method for small systems and the Hartree-Fock approximation for large systems. The formation of a negative-temperature state and the change from repulsive interactions to effective attractive interactions are shown to be realized for a wide region of the field amplitude and the excitation energy. For a nonnegligible intersite repulsive interaction, the numerical results are consistent with the fact that the phase separation between charge-rich and charge-poor regions is caused by the corresponding effective attraction.
The excited state dynamics of correlated electron and electron-phonon systems triggered by an oscillating electric-field pulse of large amplitude are theoretically investigated. A negative-temperature state and inversion of electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions are induced even by a symmetric monocycle pulse. This fact is numerically demonstrated, using the exact diagonalization method, in a band-insulator phase of one-dimensional three-quarter-filled strongly dimerized extended Peierls-Hubbard and Holstein models. When the total-energy increment is maximized as a function of the electric field amplitude, the occupancy of the bonding and antibonding orbitals is inverted to produce a negative-temperature state. Around this state, the dependences of time-averaged electron-electron and electron-phonon correlation functions on interaction parameters are opposite to those in the ground state.
We discuss the phase diagram of the extended Hubbard model with both attractive and repulsive local and nonlocal interactions. The extended dynamical mean-field theory (EDMFT) and the dual boson method (DB) are compared. The latter contains additional nonlocal correlation effects that are not incorporated in EDMFT. We find that EDMFT and DB give almost identical results in the attractive $V$ regime, where phase separation occurs. This is quite a difference with the previously studied repulsive $V$ regime, where EDMFT and DB give very different phase boundaries for the checkerboard order phase, especially at small $U$.
The phase diagram of the one-dimensional extended Hubbard model at half-filling is investigated by a weak coupling renormalization group method applicable beyond the usual continuum limit for the electron spectrum and coupling constants. We analyze the influence of irrelevant momentum dependent interactions on asymptotic properties of the correlation functions and the nature of dominant phases for the lattice model under study.
A simple effective model of charge ordered and (or) magnetically ordered insulators is studied. The tight binding Hamiltonian analyzed consists of (i) the effective on-site interaction U, (ii) the intersite density-density interaction W and (iii) intersite magnetic exchange interaction Jz (or Jxy) between nearest-neighbors. The intersite interaction are treated within the mean-field approximation. One shows that the systems considered can exhibit very interesting multicritical behaviors, including among others bicritical, tricritical, tetracritical and critical end points. The analysis of the model has been performed for an arbitrary electron concentration as well as an arbitrary chemical potential in the limit of strong on-site repulsion. The phase diagrams obtained in such a case are shown to consist of at least 9 different states, including four homogenous phases: nonordered (NO), ferromagnetic (F), charge ordered (CO), ferrimagnetic (intermediate, I) and five types of phase separation: NO-NO, F-NO, F-F, CO-F, CO-I.
