Falicov-Kimball model and the problem of electronic ferroelectricity

Strongly Correlated Electrons 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

The density matrix renormalization group method is used to examine possibilities of electronic ferroelectricity in the spinless Falicov-Kimball model. The model is studied for a wide range of parameters including weak and strong interactions as well as the symmetric and unsymmetric case. In all examined cases the <d+f><d^{+}f>-expectation value vanishes for vanishing hybridization VV, indicating that the spinless Falicov-Kimball model does not allow for a ferroelectric ground state with a spontaneous polarization.
