Collapse of Charge Ordering Due to Disorder in Quasi One-Dimensional Electron Systems

Effects of disorder on charge ordering (CO) is investigated for one-dimensional (1D) and quasi 1D extended Hubbard model with infinite on-site repulsion at quarter filling. Only the forward scattering due to disorder is taken into account. In the 1D model, the resistivity due to Umklapp scattering that is an origin of CO is shown to be suppressed by the forward scattering. In addition, we obtain that the CO transition temperature TCO for quasi 1D model becomes smaller with increasing strength of the forward scattering.
