P. Maurel et al., Fractionally charged excitations in the charge density wave state of a quarter-filled t-J chain with quantum phonons, EUR PHY J B, 21(4), 2001, pp. 481-484
Elementary excitations of the 4k(F) charge density wave state of a quarter-
filled strongly correlated electronic one-dimensional chain are investigate
d in the presence of dispersionless quantum optical phonons using Density M
atrix Renormalization Group techniques. Such excitations are shown to be to
pological solitons carrying charge e/2 and spin zero. Relevance to the 4kF
charge density wave instability in (DI - DCNQI)(2)Ag or recently discovered
in (TMTTF)(2)X (X = PF6, AsF6) is discussed.
