The Anharmonic Electron-Phonon Problem

Year: 1996

Type: article

Abstract: The anharmonic electron-phonon problem is solved in the infinite-dimensional limit using quantum Monte Carlo simulation. Charge-density-wave order is seen to remain at half filling even though the anharmonicity removes the particle-hole symmetry of the model. Superconductivity is strongly favored away from half filling but the anharmonicity does not enhance transition temperatures over the maximal values found in the harmonic limit.
