Gutzwiller approach to phonon renormalization in the correlated SSH Model — •Ernst von Oelsen — Institut für Physik, BTU Cottbus, PBox 101344, 03013 Cottbus, Germany

The SSH Model [1] is supplemented with a Hubbard repulsion term in order to study the influence of electronic correlations on transitive phonon excitations. Our investigations are based on the time-dependent Gutzwiller approximation [2] and we restrict to the undimerized case. Eliminating double occupancy fluctuations via an anti-adiabaticity condition we obtain the quadratic fluctuations in the phonon and electronic density fields. Already on this level we find correlation-induced softening for small wave vectors which eventually induces an instability in addition to the Peierls nesting mechanism. In addition we show that inclusion of a Hubbard repulsion creates additional couplings between electrons and phonons beyond the bare transitive interaction. Finally we calculate the phonon self-energy which is compared with the uncorrelated case.
