Minimal charge gap in the ionic Hubbard model — •Krunoslav Pozgajcic and Claudius Gros — Universtaet des Saarlandes, Fachbereich Physik, Postfach 151150, G38, D-66041

We study the ionic Hubbard model at temperature T=0 within the mean-field approximation and show that the charge gap does not close completely at the ionic-band insulator to antiferromagnetic insulator transition, contrary to previous expectations. Furthermore, we find a new intermediate phase for on-site repulsions U>U_c for different lattices and calculate the phase diagram for the ionic Hubbard model with alternating U, corresponding to a Cu-O lattice.
