Holstein electron-phonon interaction reduces effective mass in the Hubbard model near a Mott-Hubbard transition. This effect, attributed to reduced repulsion, does not alter quasiparticle physics, with phonon signatures appearing only in high-energy bands.

Area of Science:

  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Materials Science
  • Quantum Mechanics

Background:

  • The Hubbard model is a fundamental model in condensed matter physics describing interacting electrons in a lattice.
  • Mott-Hubbard transitions occur in materials where electron-electron repulsion dominates over kinetic energy, leading to insulating behavior.
  • Electron-phonon interactions are crucial for understanding charge transport and material properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of Holstein electron-phonon interaction on a Hubbard model near a Mott-Hubbard transition.
  • To understand how electron-phonon coupling influences effective mass and electronic properties.
  • To determine the energy scales at which electron-phonon effects manifest in the quasiparticle and high-energy bands.

Main Methods:

  • Dynamical Mean-Field Theory (DMFT) was employed to solve the strongly correlated Hubbard model.
  • The study focused on a half-filled Hubbard model, a key regime for Mott physics.
  • Analysis involved examining the effective mass and spectral functions under varying electron-phonon coupling strengths.

Main Results:

  • A significant reduction in the effective mass of Holstein polarons was observed.
  • This mass reduction was interpreted as a consequence of decreased effective electron-electron repulsion.
  • Quasiparticle properties at low energies remained largely unaffected by electron-phonon interaction, while phonon signatures appeared in high-energy Hubbard bands.

Conclusions:

  • Electron-phonon interaction, specifically the Holstein mechanism, renormalizes the effective repulsion in the Hubbard model.
  • The quasiparticle physics, governing low-energy behavior, is robust against these interactions, suggesting a separation of energy scales.
  • The observed behavior can be explained by interpreting quasiparticle motion as rare, fast events, decoupling them from slower phonon dynamics.
