Abstract
We study i) the ground-state and optical-excitation properties of halogen-bridged binuclear metal complexes, which are known as MMX chain compounds, by the strong-coupling expansion for a one-dimensional two-orbital extended Peierls-Hubbard model, and ii) the dynamics of domain walls between the neutral and ionic phases in mixed-stack charge-transfer complexes, by solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for a one-dimensional extended Peierls-Hubbard model with alternating energy levels. We find in i) that competition between electron-electron and electron-lattice interactions and competition between short- and long-range interactions are both important for the electronic phase variation, and in ii) that charge and lattice dynamics immediately after photoexcitations is complex and not explained simply within the domino picture.
