Abstract
By employing an adaptive time-dependent density matrix renormalization group (t-DMRG) method, we investigate the electron-electron correlation effects on the inelastic-scattering processes of oppositely charged-soliton anti-soliton pairs in conjugated polymers under the influence of an external electric field. The simulations are performed based on the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model modified to include electron-electron interactions and an external electric field. The percent yield of product is numerically calculated by a projection method. Our results show that the on-site Coulomb interaction is of fundamental importance and favors the recombination between the pairs of soliton. Additionally, the effects of external electric field and nearest-neighbor electron-electron interaction on the collision processes are also discussed.
