Charge ordering under a magnetic field in the extended Hubbard model

Abstract

We study the charge ordering behavior under magnetic field H in the extended Hubbard model within the coherent potential approximation. At quarter filling, for small H we find that the relative variation of critical temperature is quadratic with the coefficient α smaller than the one for conventional spin-Peierls systems. For intermediate fields, a melting of the charge ordering on decreasing temperature under fixed H at various band filling is found.
