Abstract

We analyse the complex interplay of charge, spin, and lattice degrees of freedom in one–dimensional electron systems coupled to quantum phonons. To this end, we study generic model Hamiltonians, such as the Holstein models of spinless fermions, the Holstein–Hubbard model and a Heisenberg spin-chain model with magneto-elastic interaction, by means of an unbiased numerical density–matrix renormalisation group technique. Thereby particular emphasis is placed on the Luttinger–liquid charge–density-wave, Peierls–insulator Mott-insulator, and spin–Peierls quantum phase transitions.
