The well-known Gutzwiller wave function is generalized by including new variational parameters to control nearest-neighbour charge-charge, charge-spin, and spin-spin correlations. The non-magnetic state of the one-dimensional, half-filled Hubbard model is studied. Within the Gutzwiller approximation, the expression for the ground state energy can be worked out analytically. The correlation between empty and doubly occupied sites is found to play the most essential role. Minimization in the large-U limit shows that the Brinkman-Rice transition has been pushed to U → ∞, and the leading term of the ground state energy density is of order −t2/ U . In contrast to results obtained with the Gutzwiller wave function, we find that the band occupation number nk is monotonically decreasing both above and below kF. The dominant k–dependence is given by ~(t/U) cos k, in agreement with t/U–expansion results. nk has also a weak step-function component, with the discontinuity at kF vanishing as (t/U)2 in the limit U/t ≫ 1.

Two-dimensional (2D) electron systems in the presence of disorder are of interest in connection with the observed metal-insulator transition in such systems. We use density functional theory in its local-spin density approximation (LSDA) to calculate the ground-state energy of a 2D electron system in the presence of remote charged impurities which up on averaging provides disorder. The inverse compressibility calculated from the ground-state energy exhibits a minimum at a critical density controlled by the disorder strength. Our findings are in agreement with experimental results.

We conducted a theoretical study on the properties of a polaron with electron-LO phonon strong-coupling in a cylindrical quantum dot under an electric field using linear combination operator and unitary transformation methods. The changing relations between the ground state energy of the polaron in the quantum dot and the electric field intensity, restricted intensity, and cylindrical height were derived. The numerical results show that the polar of the quantum dot is enlarged with increasing restricted intensity and decreasing cylindrical height, and with cylindrical height at 0 ~ 5 nm , the polar of the quantum dot is strongest. The ground state energy decreases with increasing electric field intensity, and at the moment of just adding electric field, quantum polarization is strongest.
