Inhomogeneous charge textures stabilized by electron-phonon interactions in the t-J model
We study the effect of diagonal and off-diagonal electron-phonon coupling in the ground state properties of the t-J model. Adiabatic and quantum phonons are considered using Lanczos techniques. Charge tiles and stripe phases with mobile holes (localized holes) are observed at intermediate (large) values of the diagonal electron-phonon coupling. The stripes are stabilized by half-breathing modes, while the tiles arise due to the development of extended breathing modes. Off-diagonal terms destabilize the charge inhomogeneous structures with mobile holes by renormalizing the diagonal coupling but do not produce new phases. Buckling modes are also studied and they seem to induce amore »
