Optical conductivity of one-dimensional doped Hubbard-Mott insulator

Strongly Correlated Electrons 2009-11-07 v2

Abstract

We study the optical response of a strongly correlated electron system near the metal-insulator transition using a mapping to the sine-Gordon model. With semiclassical quantization, the spectral weight is distributed between a Drude peak and absorption lines due to breathers. We calculate the Drude weight, the optical gap, and the lineshape of breather absorption.
