Effect of intraband Coulomb repulsion on the excitonic spin-density wave
We present a study of the magnetic ground state of a two-band model with
nested electron and hole Fermi surfaces and both interband and intraband
Coulomb interactions. Our aim is to understand how the excitonic
spin-density-wave (ESDW) state induced by the interband Coulomb repulsion is
affected by the intraband interactions. We first determine the magnetic
instabilities of our model in an unbiased way by employing the random-phase
approximation (RPA) to calculate the static spin susceptibility in the
paramagnetic state. From this, we construct the mean-field phase diagram,
demonstrating the robustness of the ESDW against the intraband interaction. We
then calculate the RPA transverse spin susceptibility in the ESDW state and
show that the intraband Coulomb repulsion significantly renormalizes the
paramagnon line shape and suppresses the spin-wave velocity. We conclude with a
discussion of the relevance of this suppression for the commensurate ESDW state
of Mn-doped Cr alloys.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figure
Bosonization solution of the Falicov-Kimball model
We use a novel approach to analyze the one dimensional spinless
Falicov-Kimball model. We derive a simple effective model for the occupation of
the localized orbitals which clearly reveals the origin of the known ordering.
Our study is extended to a quantum model with hybridization between the
localized and itinerant states; we find a crossover between the well-known
weak- and strong-coupling behaviour. The existence of electronic polarons at
intermediate coupling is confirmed. A phase diagram is presented and discussed
in detail.Comment: RevTex, 10 pages, 1 figur
