Phase Separation due to Quantum Mechanical Correlations

  • Chapter
Book cover Condensed Matter Physics and Exactly Soluble Models

Abstract

Can phase separation be induced by strong electron correlations? We present a theorem that affirmatively answers this question in the Falicov-Kimball model away from half filling, for any dimension. In the ground state the itinerant electrons are spatially separated from the classical particles.
