Metallicity in a Holstein-Hubbard Chain at Half Filling with Gaussian Anharmonicity

Abstract The Holstein-Hubbard model with Gaussian phonon anharmonicity is studied in one-dimension at half filling using a variational method based on a series of canonical transformations. A fairly accurate phonon state is chosen to average the transformed Holstein-Hubbard Hamiltonian to obtain an...
