Phase diagram of the ionic Hubbard model with density-dependent hopping
Physical review(2023)
Abstract
We obtain the quantum phase diagram of the ionic Hubbard model including electron-hole symmetric density-dependent hopping. The boundaries of the phases are determined by crossing of excited levels with particular discrete symmetries, which coincide with jumps of charge and spin Berry phases with a topological meaning. Reducing the magnitude of the hopping terms that do not change the total number of singly occupied sites with respect to the other one, the region of the phase diagram occupied by the fully gapped spontaneously dimerized insulator (which separates the band insulating and Mott insulating phases) is enlarged, particularly for small values of the alternating on-site energy. This result might be relevant for experiments in cold atoms in which topological charge pumping is observed when alternation in the hopping is included.
