Abstract

Finite-temperature phase transitions in quasi-one-dimensional quarter-filled systems are investigated by the extended Hubbard model with electron-lattice coupling. Using a quantum Monte Carlo method combined with the inter-chain mean-field approximation, we clarify competing and coexisting behaviors among charge ordering, dimer Mott, and spin-Peierls states. It is pointed out that an anharmonicity of lattice distortions plays an important role in multi-critical behaviors. The results are compared with experimental data for quasi-one-dimensional molecular conductors such as DCNQI and TMTTF compounds.
