Introduction The systems with proton conductivity (superionic conductors with hydrogen bonds, quasi-one-dimensional proton conductors and others) have lately become the objects of great interest in experimental and theoretical investigations. The conductivity in these systems arises due to the proton transport, thus the problem of studying its microscopic mechanisms is very important. However, the behaviour of these systems is also affected by other factors, including the interactions of protons with phonons, proton-proton interactions, etc. There were many attempts to describe the proton conductors using the fermion lattice models. One of the first utilizations of the lattice model for the description of such systems [1,2] made it possible to obtain the superionic phase transition in Rb3H(SeO4)2 when considering the proton potential on hydrogen bond in simple one-minimum approximation. More complete and correct approach, which took in- to account the system symmetry changes and was in better agreement with the experiment, was made in [3] for a similar crystal (NH4)3H(SeO4)2. c© I.V.Stasyuk, O.Vorobyov 43 I.V.Stasyuk, O.Vorobyov Some attention was also paid to theoretical aspects of proton-phonon interac- tions [4–6], while the effect of the short-range proton-proton interactions is still not sufficiently studied. However, these interactions are strong and can considerably af- fect the system’s behaviour. Several steps in this direction were made in [7] when calculating thermodynamic functions, but the method which would permit to take into account the short-range proton interactions as well as the proton transfer has not been developed. In this paper we will try to generalize the previously proposed approach [8–10], which permits the proton interactions to be taken into account exactly. Our investigations are based on the orientational-tunnelling model for the one- dimensional proton conductor [11]. This model takes into account the two-stage proton transfer (according to Grotthuss mechanisms) as well as the short-range proton interactions and treats the protons as fermions. It is worth pointing out that the protons should be rather described by the Pauli statistics than by the Fermi one. However, theoretical investigations of proton conductivity systems have shown a good agreement with experimental results when treating the protons as fermions. The orientational-tunnelling model can be simplified to the well-known spinless fermion model, which apart from the nearest neighbours interactions takes into account the transfer of fermions as well. This model has been studied a lot, for example in [12–14] using the method of high density expansions. However, those results cannot be used for the case of strong fermion interactions. In this paper we extend the technique previously proposed by us, which is based on generalized Wick’s theorem. We use Green’s function method to calculate the proton energy spectrum. The series for the one-particle proton Green’s function is built in terms of the irreducible parts according to Larkin. We calculate the irre- ducible part, which is needed to solve the Larkin equation for Green’s function, in the approximation which permits to take into account the simplest proton scatter- ing. To do this, one needs to obtain the two-particle irreducible Green’s function parts, which are calculated within the framework of cluster approach. By solving the Larkin equation we obtain the desired one-particle proton Green’s function. The proton spectrum and chemical potential behaviour with the change of the proton concentration is investigated. The results are compared with the ones obtained in Hubbard-1 type approximation in [8–10]. 2. The model The investigations of the energy spectrum and thermodynamics of the proton subsystem of the one-dimensional proton conductor are based on the orientational- tunnelling model. For the first time this model was used in [11] (see also [15]) to describe the molecular complexes with hydrogen bonds. Later it was used to describe proton transport and to calculate the conductivity coefficients in superionic crystals of Me3H(XO4)3 (Me = Cs, Rb, NH4; X = S, Se) group [16,17]. This model introduces two types of proton transport according to Grotthuss mechanisms: tunnelling on the 44 Strong short range interactions. . . R 0 Figure 1. Proton conductor model. The large circles correspond to the ionic groups, the small ones correspond to the possible proton positions. bond (Ω0) and reorientational transfer (ΩR). It also takes into account the strong short-range interactions, produced by the differences between the energies of proton configurations near the ionic groups, as well as the energies of D- and L-defects. We consider the one-dimensional proton conductor, which consists of the ionic groups, connected by hydrogen bonds (figure 1). Two equilibrium positions (i, a) and (i, b) on each bond are taken into account. The Hamiltonian of the system in the second quantization form is as follows: Ĥ = Ĥc + Ĥt + Ĥd − µN̂, (1) where Ĥc = ∑ i [ε(1 − nib)ni+1,a + εnib(1 − ni+1,a) + wnibni+1,a + w′(1 − nib)(1 − ni+1,a)] , Ĥt = ∑ i [ Ω0(c + iacib + c+ ibcia) + ΩR(c+ ibci+1,a + c+ i+1,acib) ] , Ĥd = ∑ i [Unianib + V (1 − nia)(1 − nib)] , (2) N̂ = ∑ i (nia + nib). Here, niα(α = a, b) is the occupation number in position α; U and V are the energies of formation of D- (two protons on the bond) and L- (broken bond) defects respectively; w, ε, w′ – configuration energies with one, two or none protons near the ionic group (figure 2). The model (1) is one of the fermionic lattice models. Its spectrum has a band character and its structure is defined by the ratio between the effective transfer pa- Figure 2.

If Ωeff � Ueff the interaction between protons can be taken into account in the frame- work of the mean field approximation (MFA), that just causes the shift of the proton energy band (such an approach was used in [17] to calculate the dispersion curves E(~k) in proton bands, which describe the motion of protons in quasi-one-dimensional layers of hydrogen bonds in (NH4)3H(SeO4)2). In the opposite case, (Ωeff � Ueff) correlation leads to an additional splitting in the spectrum. These results are well- known in the Hubbard model and in similar ones [18]. Corresponding theoretical investigations cannot be carried out in the MFA, since short-range interactions have to be taken into account in the zero-order Hamiltonian. Thus, the zero-order Hamiltonian has the following form: Ĥ0 = Ĥc + Ĥd − µN̂. (3) It includes the short-range proton interactions, while the expansion is made in terms of the transfer Hamiltonian Ĥt. 3. Perturbation theory and diagram technique We will use Green’s function method to calculate the proton energy spectrum. Let us consider the proton Green’s function Giα,jβ(τ − τ ′) = −〈Tτ c̃iα(τ)c̃+ jβ(τ ′)〉, (4) which is constructed with the creation and the annihilation operators, defined in Heisenberg representation (0 6 τ, τ ′ 6 β = 1/kT ). We use the thermodynamic perturbation theory [19] to calculate this function, considering the term Ht as a perturbation. In the interaction representation Giα,jβ(τ − τ ′) = −〈Tτ ciα(τ)c+ jβ(τ ′)σ(β)〉0 〈σ(β)〉0 ≡ −〈Tτ ciα(τ)c+ jβ(τ ′)σ(β)〉c0, σ(β) = Tτ exp   − β∫ 0 Ĥt(τ)dτ    , (5) where the mean values are calculated using the statistical Gibbs distribution with Hamiltonian H0. In the middle part of the expression (5), numerator, as well as denominator, can be expanded into a series in terms of Ht, but some of the terms are cancelled. The remaining terms in the diagrammatic representation are denoted by connected diagrams. Expansion in terms of Ht leads to the following series: Giα,jβ(τ − τ ′) = −〈Tτ ciα(τ)c+ jβ(τ ′)〉0 + ∑ kγ,lδ tkγ,lδ〈Tτciα(τ)c+ jβ(τ ′) β∫ 0 dτ1c + kγ(τ1)clδ(τ1)〉c0 46 Strong short range interactions. . . − 1 2 ∑ kγ,lδ mµ,nν tkγ,lδtmν,nµ〈Tτ ciα(τ)c+ jβ(τ ′) β∫ 0 dτ1c + νγ(τ1)clδ(τ1) × β∫ 0 dτ2c + mν(τ2)cnµ(τ2)〉c0 + . . . , (6) where we introduced the matrix of the proton transfer the elements of which are tia,ib = Ω0, tib,i+1a = ΩR (7) and the others are equal to zero. Since the Hamiltonian Ĥ0 includes the terms, which describe the interaction between protons, Wick’s theorem in its usual form cannot be used to calculate the mean values of the products of Fermi operators. To avoid additional expansions in terms of interaction constants, we use the method similar to that introduced in [20] and later developed in [21,22] for Hubbard model, employing the irreducible many-particle parts. Let us define the one-particle Green’s function as −〈Tτ ciα(τ)c+ jβ(τ ′)〉0 = g0 iα,jβ(τ − τ ′) ≡ δijδαβg0 α(τ − τ ′) (8) or in shorthand notation −〈Tc1c + 2 〉0 = g0 12 . Two and three-particle Green’s functions are presented in the following form: −〈Tτ c1c + 2 c3c + 4 〉c0 = −g0 12g 0 34 + g0 14g 0 32 + Γ (2) 12,34 , −〈Tτ c1c + 2 c3c + 4 c5c + 6 〉c0 = g0 12g 0 34g 0 56 − g0 12g 0 36g 0 54 − g0 14g 0 32g 0 56 − g0 14g 0 52g 0 36 + g0 16g 0 32g 0 54 − g0 16g 0 34g 0 52 + g0 12Γ (2) 34,56 − g0 14Γ (2) 32,56 + g0 16Γ (2) 32,54 + Γ (3) 12,34,56 , (9) where Γ (2) iα,jβ;mµ,nν(τ1, τ2, τ3, τ4) = −〈Tτ ciα(τ1)c + jβ(τ2)cmµ(τ3)c + nν(τ4)〉ir0 , Γ (3) iα,jβ;mµ,nν;kγ,lδ(τ1, τ2, τ3, τ4, τ5, τ6) = = −〈Tτciα(τ1)c + jβ(τ2)cmµ(τ3)c + nν(τ4)ckγ(τ5)c + lδ(τ6)〉ir0 . (10) are irreducible Green’s function parts. Many-particle Green’s function can be written in a similar manner. Expressions (9,10) are a generalization of Wick’s theorem for the case, when Hamiltonian H0 includes the terms, which describe the interaction. In this case, in addition to the sum of usual terms having the form of products of one-particle Green’s function, which appear due to the all possible pairings, the expression for Green’s function also includes the irreducible parts (10). 47 I.V.Stasyuk, O.Vorobyov We will use the diagram technique to operate with perturbation theory expan- sions. To do so we introduce the following notations g0 iα,jβ(τ − τ ′) = τ τ' iα jβ , Γ (2) iα,jβ,mµ,nν(τ1, τ2, τ3, τ4) = τ τ iα jβ mµ nν 1 2 τ 3 τ 4 , Γ (3) iα,jβ,mµ,nν,kγ,lδ(τ1, τ2, τ3, τ4, τ5, τ6) = τ τ iα jβ mµ nν 1 2 τ 3 τ 4 kγ τ 5 lδ τ 6 , Giα,jβ(τ − τ ′) = iα jβ τ τ’ . which makes it possible to present a series for the one-particle Green function in the following form: (11) This diagram representation is the schematic one. We leave out the site and time indices and show only the topologically nonequivalent diagrams, which give the non- zero contribution to Green’s function. Furthermore, the coefficients at the diagrams in (11) are omitted and have to be calculated via the combinatoric method. The wavy lines in the diagrams represent the proton transfer. These lines are joined to Green’s function vertices or to the vertices of irreducible parts Γ(n) (2n- vertex polygons). The proton transfer always connects the incoming vertex of Green’s function or polygon (this vertex corresponds to the fermionic annihilation operator ciα) with the outgoing vertex (it corresponds to the creation operator c+ iα). Time arguments of the vertices, connected with transfer, are equal and have to be inte- grated, whereas the corresponding site indices are subject to summation. Expression (11) contains the terms up to the second order of perturbation theory (in terms of transfer) as well as the several terms of the third order. The obtained series for function G can be formally presented as the infinite sum G = Σ + ΣtΣ + ΣtΣtΣ + . . . (12) which corresponds to the Larkin equation G = Σ + ΣtG, (13) where Σ is the full irreducible part according to Larkin. 48 Strong short range interactions. . . Contributions to Σ can be presented as the expansion in terms of irreducible Green’s function parts Γ(n) Σiα,jβ(τ − τ ′) = g0 iα,jβ(τ − τ ′) − β∫ 0 dτ1 ∑ mµ,nν t̃mµ,nνΓ (2) iα,jβ,mµ,nν(τ, τ ′, τ1, τ1) + β∫ 0 dτ1 β∫ 0 dτ2 ∑ mµ,nν kγ,lδ t̃mµ,nν t̃kγ,lδΓ (3) iα,jβ,mµ,nν,kγ,lδ(τ, τ ′, τ1, τ1, τ2, τ2) + . . . = , (14) where we introduced the generalized transfer t̃ = t + tg0t + tg0tg0t + . . . , . (15) The simplest approximation for Σ (Σ = g0, the diagram 14.1) which is similar to the well-known Hubbard-1 approximation for the strongly correlated electron systems [23], was used by us in [8–10]. In the present work the irreducible Larkin part will be calculated in the first order approximation with respect to transfer, which besides 14.1 takes into account the diagram 14.2 (but enclosed with the simple, not generalized transfer). Such an approximation permits the simplest proton scattering processes to be included in our consideration. In addition to the one-particle proton Green’s function (4) we can also consider the two-particle one Giα,jβ,kγ,lδ(τ1, τ2, τ3, τ4) = −〈Tτ c̃iα(τ1)c̃ + jβ(τ2)c̃kγ(τ3)c̃ + lδ(τ4)〉, (16) which can be expanded into a series, similar to (6) Giα,jβ,kγ,lδ(τ1, τ2, τ3, τ4) = −〈Tτciα(τ1)c + jβ(τ2)ckγ(τ3)c + lδ(τ4)〉0 + ∑ mµ,nν tmµ,nν〈Tτciα(τ1)c + jβ(τ2)ckγ(τ3)c + lδ(τ4) β∫ 0 dτ〈c+ mµ(τ)cnν(τ)〉c0 − . . . . (17) Using generalized Wick’s theorem (9,10) and the diagram technique, proposed above, this series can be presented in the following form: Giα,jβ,kγ,lδ(τ1, τ2, τ3, τ4) = 49 I.V.Stasyuk, O.Vorobyov + + ++ + + 29 30 31 32 33 ... ... (18) Similarly to (11) this series includes only the topologically nonequivalent diagrams. The diagrams of the first and the second order as well as the several ones of the third order are shown. The series (18) can be rewritten using the lines of generalized transfer (15) and the full one-particle Green’s function (11) Giα,jβ,kγ,lδ(τ1, τ2, τ3, τ4) = (19) 50 Strong short range interactions. . . It is worth pointing out that the diagrams (19.9, 19.10) are the representatives of the diagram class, which is taken into account in the Generalized Random Phase Approximation (GRPA), first proposed in [24] for (t−J) model. Later this approxi- mation was used in the Hubbard and pseudospin-electron model investigations. For instance, in [25] the authors have shown that GRPA results are in good agreement with the results of dynamical mean-field approximation (which is exact in the limit of infinite dimension) in the case of strong one-site electron interactions. This makes it possible to use GRPA when taking into account the strong (in our case proton) interactions to calculate Green’s function (16). This will be the aim of our future investigation. Analyzing the diagram series (11) and (18), one can see that the common struc- tural elements of all the diagrams are zero-order Green’s function and irreducible parts Γ(n). The zero-order Green’s function was calculated by us in [8,9]. Thus, we will focus on the evaluation of the most simple irreducible part – Γ(2) (four-vertex polygon), which will enable us to obtain the first-order contribution to the irreducible Larkin part. 4. Evaluation of four-vertex irreducible part Thus, taking into account (14), we need to calculate all possible matrix elements Γ (2) iα,jβ,mµ,nν(τ, τ ′, τ1, τ1) at different values of mµ, nν and at fixed iα, jβ. According to (9) Γ (2) iα,jβ,mµ,nν(τ1, τ2, τ3, τ4) = −〈Tτ ciα(τ1)c + jβ(τ2)cmµ(τ3)c + nν(τ4)〉0 + g0 iα,jβ(τ1 − τ2)g 0 mµ,nν(τ3 − τ4) − g0 iα,nν(τ1 − τ4)g 0 jβ,mµ(τ3 − τ2). (20) Thus, we have to calculate the function G0 iα,jβ,mµ,nν(τ1, τ2, τ3, τ4) = −〈Tτ ciα(τ1)c + jβ(τ2)cmµ(τ3)c + nν(τ4)〉0 . (21) This mean value is not equal to zero only if all site indices are equal or when iα = jβ, mµ = nν or iα = nν, jβ = mµ. At first we will consider the case when all site indices are equal, i.e. i = j = m = n; α = β = µ = ν = a or α = β = µ = ν = b. In this case we need to consider the auxiliary problem for the cluster, which consists of a single site in the nearest surroundings (figure 3) and calculate the function (21). The corresponding mean value of this kind is calculated on the basis of the zero-order Hamiltonian (without transfer), but this Hamiltonian also includes an interaction with the site neighborhood. Let us consider the cluster i, a (figure 3a) as an example. Its neighborhood con- sists of the sites i − 1, b and i, b, so Hamiltonian of this cluster has the following form: H̃ia = ε(1 − ni−1,b)nia + εni−1,b(1 − nia) + wni−1,bnia + w′(1 − ni−1,b)(1 − nia) + Unianib + V (1 − nia)(1 − nib) − µnia .

The simplest (one-site) cluster which consists of the given site (in figure (a) – (i,a), in (b) – (i,b)) and its neighbourhood. Now, we have to consider all possible ways of the neighborhood occupation. a) ni−1,b = 0, ni,b = 0. Hamiltonian (22) reduces to H̃ia = εnia + w′(1 − nia) + V (1 − nia) − µnia . (23) Using Wick’s theorem and definition (8) we obtain G0 ia,ia,ia,ia(τ1, τ2, τ3, τ4) = g0 ia,ia(τ1 − τ2)g 0 ia,ia(τ3 − τ4) + g0 ia,ia(τ1 − τ4)g 0 ia,ia(τ3 − τ2). (24) Let us perform the Fourier transformation to the frequency representation giα,jβ(τ) = 1 β ∑ ωn giα,jβ(ωn)eiωnτ , G0 iα,jβ,mµ,nν(τ1, τ2, τ3, τ4) = = 1 β4 ∑ ωn1 ,ωn2 ωn3 ,ωn4 G0 iα,jβ,mµ,nν(ωn1 , ωn2 , ωn3 , ωn4 )eiωn1 τ1e−iωn2 τ2eiωn3 τ3e−iωn4 τ4 (25) and write (24) in the following form: G0 ia,ia,ia,ia(ωn1 , ωn2 , ωn3 , ωn4 ) = β2[δ(ωn2 − ωn1 )δ(ωn4 − ωn3 ) + δ(ωn2 − ωn3 )δ(ωn4 − ωn1 )]g0 ia,ia(ωn1 )g0 ia,ia(ωn3 ). (26) The function g0 ia,ia can be calculated, for example, using the method of equations of motion g0 ia,ia(ωn) = 1 iωn + µ + w′ − ε + V . (27) b) ni−1,b = 1, ni,b = 0. Hamiltonian (22) in this case will be as follows: H̃ia = ε(1 − nia) + wnia + V (1 − nia) − µnia . (28) 52 Strong short range interactions. . . It differs from (23) and this leads to the change of the poles of the function g0 ia,ia: g0 ia,ia(ωn) = 1 iωn + µ + w′ − ε + V . (29) Expression (26) is valid in this case as well. Similarly we can consider the other possible occupations of the neighbouring sites: (c) ni−1,b = 0, ni,b = 1 and (d) ni−1,b = 1, ni,b = 1. Each of the cases mentioned above will give the contribution to the final Green’s function with the corresponding statistical weight Cα. Finally, G0 ia,ia,ia,ia(ωn1 , ωn2 , ωn3 , ωn4 ) = β2[δ(ωn2 − ωn1 )δ(ωn4 − ωn3 ) + δ(ωn2 − ωn3 )δ(ωn4 − ωn1 )] 4∑ α=1 Cα (iωn1 − Eα)(iωn3 − Eα) , (30) where Cα are the following correlation functions: C1 = 〈(1 − ni−1,b)(1 − ni,b)〉, C2 = 〈(1 − ni−1,b)ni,b〉, C3 = 〈ni−1,b(1 − ni,b)〉, C4 = 〈ni−1,bni,b〉 (31) and Eα are the energies which are the poles of one-particle Green’s function at different occupations of neighbouring sites E1 = −w′ + ε − V − µ, E2 = −w′ + ε + U − µ, E3 = w − ε − V − µ, E4 = w − ε + U − µ. (32) The evaluation of Γ (2) iα,jβ,mµ,nν(τ1, τ2, τ3, τ4) in the cases when site indices are pair- wise by two is based on the procedure, similar to the one described above, which involves the calculation of two-particle Green’s function localized on a two-site clus- ter. Two sites of the corresponding cluster can be both the nearest neighbours and the ones separated with some number of sites. The details of calculation of the four- vertex irreducible part on the two-site cluster of the nearest neighbours are shown in appendix A. Final expression for the four-vertex irreducible part in this case will be as follows: Γ (2) ib;ib;i+1,a;i+1,a(ωn1 , ωn2 , ωn3 , ωn4 ) = −βδ(ωn1 − ωn2 + ωn3 − ωn4 )J × [ ( 1−n 2 )4 (iωn1 −E1)(iωn2 −E1)(iωn3 −E1)(iωn4 −E1) ( 1 + J iωn1 + iωn3 −E1−E3 ) + n 2 ( 1−n 2 )3 (iωn1 −E1)(iωn2 −E1)(iωn3 −E2)(iωn4 −E2) ( 1 + J iωn1 + iωn3 −E2−E3 ) + n 2 ( 1−n 2 )3 (iωn1 −E1)(iωn2 −E1)(iωn3 −E3)(iωn4 −E3) ( 1 + J iωn1 −iωn4 ) + n2 4 ( 1−n 2 )2 (iωn1 −E1)(iωn2 −E1)(iωn3 −E4)(iωn4 −E4) ( 1+ J iωn1 −iωn4 −E3 + E4 ) + . . . ] . (33) 53 I.V.Stasyuk, O.Vorobyov This expression consists of 16 terms (only the first four of them are shown for brevity). Each term includes its own energy poles and statistical weight but has the structure similar to that of the shown ones. The correlation functions which appeared during the calculation of Γ (2) ib;ib;i+1,a;i+1,a are taken in mean filed approximation in (33) (for details see appendix A). 5. Green’s function and energy spectrum In the first order approximation the irreducible Larkin part of Green’s function is equal to Σiα,jβ(τ − τ ′) = g0 iα,jβ(τ − τ ′) − β∫ 0 dτ1 ∑ mµ,nν tmµ,nνΓ (2) iα,jβ,mµ,nν(τ, τ ′, τ1, τ1) = , (34) including the first order correction for Σ, which takes into account the simplest contribution of the proton scattering. After applying the Fourier-transformation to the momentum and frequency rep- resentation we have to calculate all possible sums and integrals to obtain the ex- pression for irreducible Larkin part. Due to the fact that the transfer line in (34) connects the sites, which are the nearest neighbours, only the contributions with Γ (2) ib;ib;i+1,a;i+1,a and Γ (2) ia;ia;ib;ib should be left among the others. Thus, we can present the irreducible Larkin part in the form of a matrix Σαβ(k, ωn) = ( ΣaaΣab ΣbaΣbb ) , (35) which elements are given by the following expressions Σab = tab(k)F (ωn), Σba = tba(k)F (ωn), Σaa = Σbb = g0 aa(ωn), tab(k) = Ω0 + ΩReik(δ+∆), tba(k) = Ω0 + ΩRe−ik(δ+∆), F (ωn) = 1 β ∑ ωn1 Γ (2) ia,ib,ib,ia(ωn, ω′ n, ωn1 , ωn1 ) = −δ(ωn − ω′ n)J × [ ( 1−n 2 )4 (iωn−E1)2 { n′ +(E1) − J iωn−E3 ( n+(E1)−n−(E1 + E3) iωn−E3 − n′ +(E1) )} + n 2 ( 1−n 2 )3 (iωn−E1)2 { n′ +(E2) − J iωn−E3 ( n+(E2)−n−(E2 + E3) iωn−E3 − n′ +(E2) )} + . . . ] . (36) F (ωn) consists of 16 terms which arise from the respective ones of (33). Here, n+(Eα) and n−(Eα) are Fermi and Bose distributions with the energy Eα, respectively, and 54 Strong short range interactions. . . n′ +(Eα) is the first derivative of Fermi distribution. These functions arise as a result of the following summations in the expression for Σ 1 β ∑ ωn′ 1 iωn′ − Em = 1 eβEm + 1 = n+(Em), 1 β ∑ ωn′+ωn′′ 1 iωn′ + iωn′′ − Em = 1 eβEm − 1 = n−(Em), 1 β ∑ ωn′ 1 (iωn′ − Em)2 = 1 β ∑ ωn′ ∂ ∂Em ( 1 iωn′ − Em ) = = ∂ ∂Em ( 1 β ∑ ωn′ 1 iωn′ − Em ) = n′ +(Em). (37) Here, it is taken into account, that the frequencies ωn′, ωn′′ are the Fermi-frequencies and their sum is the Bose-frequency. From the Larkin equation for Green’s function Gαβ = Σαβ + ∑ γδ ΣαγtγδGδβ (38) we obtain Gaa = g0 aa (1 + F |tab|2)2 − (g0 aa) 2|tab|2 . (39) In general, the poles of this function cannot be found analytically. Therefore, we use an independent subband approximation. We assume that each energy level Eα gives an independent contribution to Gaa. It is valid when the distance between these levels is larger than the effective value of the transfer parameter responsible for the width of the bands. The distance between the levels is determined by proton correlation energies which, in our problem, are considerably larger than the transfer parameters tab = Ω0, ΩR. In this approximation, Green’s function will have the following form: Gaa = 1 4 4∑ α=1    Cα + C2 α+2A2 α√ C2 α+4A2 α iωn − Eα − |tab|√ 2 √ C2 α + 2A2 α + Cα √ C2 α + 4A2 α + Cα + C2 α+2A2 α√ C2 α+4A2 α iωn − Eα + |tab|√ 2 √ C2 α + 2A2 α + Cα √ C2 α + 4A2 α + Cα − C2 α+2A2 α√ C2 α+4A2 α iωn − Eα − |tab|√ 2 √ C2 α + 2A2 α − Cα √ C2 α + 4A2 α + Cα − C2 α+2A2 α√ C2 α+4A2 α iωn − Eα + |tab|√ 2 √ C2 α + 2A2 α − Cα √ C2 α + 4A2 α    . (40) 55 I.V.Stasyuk, O.Vorobyov The Aα coefficients can be presented as follows: Aα = JCα 4∑ β=1 Cβn′ +(Eβ), (41) but only in the case when correlation functions (31) and (A.16) are calculated in the mean field approximation (A.18). The first correction to the irreducible Larkin part contains Aα. Thus, taking Aα = 0 in (40) we obtain Gaa in Hubbard-1 type approximation, i.e. the same approximation that was used in [9,10]. Using the spectral theorem in (40) we can obtain the equation, which links up the chemical potential with the average proton concentration n = ∑ k 1 2N 4∑ α=1    Cα + C2 α+2A2 α√ C2 α+4A2 α e β(Eα+ |tab|√ 2 √ C2 α+2A2 α+Cα √ C2 α+4A2 α) + 1 + Cα + C2 α+2A2 α√ C2 α+4A2 α e β(Eα− |tab|√ 2 √ C2 α+2A2 α+Cα √ C2 α+4A2 α) + 1 + Cα − C2 α+2A2 α√ C2 α+4A2 α e β(Eα+ |tab|√ 2 √ C2 α+2A2 α−Cα √ C2 α+4A2 α) + 1 + Cα − C2 α+2A2 α√ C2 α+4A2 α e β(Eα− |tab|√ 2 √ C2 α+2A2 α−Cα √ C2 α+4A2 α) + 1    . (42) By solving this equation, one can get the dependence of the chemical potential on the average proton concentration. Such a dependance obtained numerically is given in figure 4 (together with the dependence of the proton band edges on the proton concentration). The following parameter values were used in calculations: U = 3280 cm−1, V = 3130 cm−1 [28], w − ε = 10000 cm−1, J = w + w′ − 2ε = 9400 cm−1 [29], Ω0 = 40 . . . 250 cm−1, ΩR = 50 . . . 2500 cm−1 [30]. As one can see in figure 4 and from (40), the energy spectrum of the proton sub- system consists of 16 bands, which are separated into four groups. Every group is connected with the corresponding energy level Eα. As was mentioned above taking Aα = 0, we restrict ourselves to the Hubbard-1 type approximation. In this case the proton energy spectrum consists of 8 bands. As it was shown in [8–10], at low temperatures there exist the regions of proton concentration, where the chemical potential decreases with the increase of concentration (∂µ/∂n < 0). It points out to the possible separation of the system on the areas with different average concentra- tion of protons. This effect was considered as a possible explanation of the so-called precursor effect, observed in some superionic conductors, particularly in CsDSO4 [31–33]. By taking into account the first-order contribution to the irreducible Larkin part (Aα 6= 0) one gets a more complicated spectrum, but the areas of instability 56 Strong short range interactions. . . 0,0 0,5 1,0 1,5 2,0 - 0,5 0 0,5 1 1,5 µ,E n a cm 10.-1 4 0,0 0,5 1,0 1,5 2,0 -0,5 -0,4 -0,3 -0,2 -0,1 0 n b µ ,E cm 10.-1 4 Figure 4.

At the given values of the energy constants and of the temperature, the negative slope of the chemical potential exists at n ≈ 0.54 . . . 0.62, n ≈ 0.69 . . . 0.76, n ≈ 1.24 . . . 1.31 and n ≈ 1.38 . . . 1.46. With the increase of temperature these intervals reduce and disappear. The important point to note here is the fact that these areas exist only at Ω0/ΩR � 1 or ΩR/Ω0 � 1, and the larger is the difference between the transfer parameter values, the wider are the intervals of ∂µ/∂n < 0. We also have to note that the contribution of Aα is small at low temperatures and it affects the spectrum only at considerably high temperatures (figure 5). Thus, the first-order approximation for the irreducible Larkin part confirms the fact of the existence of the proton concentration regions, with the separation instabil- 57 I.V.Stasyuk, O.Vorobyov ity (∂µ/∂n < 0), obtained in the Hubbard-1 type approximation in [8–10]. However, for a more complete analysis one needs to perform more accurate calculations of the correlation functions. 6. Conclusions The present paper extends and generalizes the method based on generalized Wick’s theorem and expansions in terms of irreducible Green’s function parts which permits to take into account the short range proton interactions in an exact way. The corresponding diagram technique is proposed which enables us to sum Green’s func- tion series. The cluster technique of the calculation of zero-order Green’s functions is extended to the case of the two-particle irreducible Green’s function parts, which made it possible to obtain the irreducible Larkin part in the first order four-vertex approximation. The proton energy spectrum in the corresponding approximation is calculated. The investigations of chemical potential behaviour have confirmed the fact of the existence of the regions with ∂µ/∂n < 0, previously obtained in [8–10]. In this case the proton subsystem is unstable with respect to the phase separation. 7.

Evaluation of four-vertex irreducible part on a two-site cluster Here we will consider the evaluation of four-vertex irreducible part Γ (2) iα,jβ,mµ,nν(τ, τ ′, τ1, τ1) in the case when the site indices are pairwise equal and cor- respond to the nearest neighbouring sites, separated by ionic group (i = j = m+1 = n+1, α = β = b, µ = ν = a) or placed on the same bond (i = j = m = n, α = β = a, µ = ν = b). Despite the fact that the general idea of calculations remains the same as described in section 4, this case is more complicated since the short range proton interactions act inside the cluster. We will take the cluster shown in figure 6a as an example. Calculations for the cluster 6b can be done in the same manner and will give the same result. The neighbourhood of the chosen cluster consists of two sites (i, a and i+1, b). An important problem is that we cannot use usual Wick’s theorem for Fermi operators to calculate Green’s function (21), because the cluster Hamiltonian (which is used for averaging) includes interaction. Therefore, we will pass from the Fermi creation and annihilation operators to the Hubbard ones. The quantum state basis of the given cluster consists of four states |nib, ni+1,a〉: |1〉 = |0, 0〉, |2〉 = |1, 0〉, |3〉 = |0, 1〉, |4〉 = |1, 1〉. (A.1) 58 Strong short range interactions. . .

The Hubbard operators defined on this basis, are connected with the Fermi operators by the following relations ci,b = X12 + X34, c+ i,b = X21 + X43, ci+1,a = X13 − X24, c+ i+1,a = X31 − X42. (A.2) Now, we have to consider all possible cases of occupation of the cluster neighbour- hood. a) ni,a = 1, ni+1,b = 1. The Hamiltonian will be as follows: H̃ib;i+1,a = ε(1 − nib)ni+1,a + εnib(1 − ni+1,a) + wnibni+1,a + w′(1 − nib)(1 − ni+1,a) + U(nib + ni+1,a) − µ(nib + ni+1,a) (A.3) or, in the X-operator representation H̃ib;i+1,a = 4∑ j=1 εjX jj, (A.4) where ε1 = w′, ε2 = ε + U − µ, ε3 = ε + U − µ, ε4 = w + 2U − 2µ. (A.5) Substituting (A.2) into (21) one can write Green’s function as a sum of the mean values of the T -products of Hubbard operators G0 ib;ib;i+1,a;i+1,a(τ1, τ2, τ3, τ4) = −〈TτX 12(τ1)X 21(τ2)X 13(τ3)X 31(τ4)〉0 − 〈TτX 12(τ1)X 21(τ2)X 24(τ3)X 42(τ4)〉0 + 〈TτX 12(τ1)X 43(τ2)X 24(τ3)X 31(τ4)〉0 + 〈TτX 34(τ1)X 21(τ2)X 13(τ3)X 42(τ4)〉0 − 〈TτX 34(τ1)X 43(τ2)X 13(τ3)X 31(τ4)〉0 − 〈TτX 34(τ1)X 43(τ2)X 24(τ3)X 42(τ4)〉0 , (A.6) where we leave only the terms, which give non-zero contributions. For every term in (A.6) we use Wick’s theorem for Hubbard operators [26]. We use the priority rule: X12 > X34 > X24 > X23 > X14 at the pairing of operators. 59 I.V.Stasyuk, O.Vorobyov We also have to take into account that some of the X-operators are of Bose-type (X23, X32, X14 and X41), while the others are of Fermi-type. After performing all possible pairings for the first term in (A.6) we obtain 〈TτX 12(τ1)X 21(τ2)X 13(τ3)X 31(τ4)〉0 = g̃12(τ1 − τ2)g̃ 13(τ3 − τ4)〈X11〉∗ + g̃12(τ1 − τ4)g̃ 13(τ3 − τ2)g̃ 23(τ2 − τ4)〈X22 − X33〉∗ − g̃12(τ1 − τ2)g̃ 13(τ3 − τ2)g̃ 13(τ2 − τ4)〈X11 + X33〉∗ − g̃12(τ1 − τ4)g̃ 13(τ3 − τ4)g̃ 12(τ4 − τ2)〈X11 + X22〉∗, (A.7) where g̃pq(τ1 − τ2) = −〈TτX pq(τ1)X qp(τ2)〉, (A.8) and in the frequency representation g̃pq(ωn) = 1 iωn − λpq , λpq = εq − εp . (A.9) After applying Wick’s theorem we have to deal with the mean values of Hubbard operators. Since we consider a specific configuration of the cluster’s neighbourhood (ni,a = 1, ni+1,b = 1), these mean values have to be calculated after the insertion of the product of operators ni,ani+1,b into the mean value brackets. The operation of averaging with a corresponding statistical weight in (A.7) and further on is denoted as 〈. . .〉∗. The pairing procedure similar to (A.7) is performed in every term of (A.6). We use the relations g̃12(ωn1 ) [ g̃32(ωn1 − ωn4 ) − g̃13(ωn4 ) ] = g̃13(ωn4 )g̃32(ωn1 − ωn4 ), g̃13(ωn3 ) [ g̃32(ωn2 − ωn3 ) + g̃12(ωn2 ) ] = g̃12(ωn2 )g̃32(ωn2 − ωn3 ) (A.10) and similar ones which allow us to symmetrize the expression, obtained after apply- ing Wick’s theorem to all the terms in (A.6).

It should be noted that the procedure used here is similar to that used in [27] for the calculation of the four-vertex irreducible part for the Hubbard model. 60 Strong short range interactions. . . We can calculate the poles λpq of the functions g̃pq(ωn) in (A.11) using (A.9) and (A.5) λ12 = ε2 − ε1 = −w′ + ε + U − µ = E2 , λ13 = ε3 − ε1 = −w′ + ε + U − µ = E2 , λ24 = ε4 − ε2 = w − ε + U − µ = E4 , λ34 = ε4 − ε3 = w − ε + U − µ = E4 , λ14 = ε4 − ε1 = w − w′ + 2U − 2µ = E2 + E4 , λ23 = ε3 − ε2 = 0. (A.12) The Hubbard operators Xpq in (A.11) can be expressed in terms of the occupation numbers niα using the following expressions which follow from (A.2) X11 = (1 − ni,b)(1 − ni+1,a), X22 = ni,b(1 − ni+1,a), X33 = (1 − ni,b)ni+1,a , X44 = ni,bni+1,a , (A.13) Consequently, the expression (A.11) can be rewritten in the following way: G0 ib;ib;i+1,a;i+1,a(ωn1 , ωn2 , ωn3 , ωn4 ) = β2δ(ωn2 − ωn1 )δ(ωn4 − ωn3 ) × [〈(1−ni,b)(1−ni+1,a)〉∗ (iωn1 −E2)(iωn3 −E2) + 〈ni,b(1−ni+1,a)〉∗ (iωn1 −E2)(iωn3 −E4) + 〈(1−ni,b)ni+1,a〉∗ (iωn1 −E4)(iωn3 −E2) + 〈ni,bni+1,a〉∗ (iωn1 −E4)(iωn3 −E4) ] − βδ(ωn1 − ωn2 + ωn3 − ωn4 ) × [ J〈(1−ni,b)(1−ni+1,a)〉∗ (iωn1 −E2)(iωn2 −E2)(iωn3 −E2)(iωn4 −E2) { 1 + J (iωn1 +iωn3 −E2−E4) } + J〈ni,b(1−ni+1,a)〉∗ (iωn1 −E2)(iωn2 −E2)(iωn3 −E4)(iωn4 −E4) { 1 + J (iωn1 −iωn4 ) } + J〈(1−ni,b)ni+1,a〉∗ (iωn1 −E4)(iωn2 −E4)(iωn3 −E2)(iωn4 −E2) { 1 − J (iωn1 −iωn4 ) } + J〈ni,bni+1,a〉∗ (iωn1 −E4)(iωn2 −E4)(iωn3 −E4)(iωn4 −E4) { 1 − J (iωn1 +iωn3 −E2−E4) }] . (A.14) The cases (b) ni,a = 1, ni+1,b = 0, (c) ni,a = 0, ni+1,b = 1 and (d) ni,a = 0, ni+1,b = 0 are considered in the same way. Summing the results of each case and taking into account the corresponding statistical weights one will obtain G0 ib;ib;i+1,a;i+1,a(ωn1 , ωn2 , ωn3 , ωn4 ) = = β2δ(ωn2 − ωn1 )δ(ωn4 − ωn3 ) 4∑ α,β=1 Cαβ (iωn1 − Eα)(iωn3 − Eβ) 61 I.V.Stasyuk, O.Vorobyov − βδ(ωn1 − ωn2 + ωn3 − ωn4 ) × J 4∑ α,β=1 Dαβ (iωn1 − Eα)(iωn2 − Eα)(iωn3 − Eβ)(iωn4 − Eβ) , (A.15) where poles Eα are defined by expression (30) and Cαβ are the coefficients C11 = 〈(1 − ni,a)(1 − ni+1,a)(1 − ni,b)(1 − ni+1,b)〉, C12 = 〈(1 − ni,a)(1 − ni+1,a)(1 − ni,b)ni+1,b〉, C13 = 〈(1 − ni,a)(1 − ni+1,a)ni,b(1 − ni+1,b)〉, C14 = 〈(1 − ni,a)(1 − ni+1,a)ni,bni+1,b〉, C21 = 〈ni,a(1 − ni+1,a)(1 − ni,b)(1 − ni+1,b)〉, C22 = 〈ni,a(1 − ni+1,a)(1 − ni,b)ni+1,b〉, ... (A.16) and so on, according to the previously used notations. Coefficients Dαβ have the following form D11 = C11 ( 1 + J iωn1 + iωn3 − E1 − E3 ) , D12 = C12 ( 1 + J iωn1 + iωn3 − E2 − E3 ) , ... (A.17) Now, we have to calculate the correlation functions which enter the expressions (A.16). In the one-dimensional case these functions can be calculated exactly us- ing the transfer matrix method. In [9,10] we have performed the investigation of energy spectrum and chemical potential behaviour in the Hubbard-1 type approx- imation for this case when calculating correlation functions via both the transfer matrix method (TMM) and the mean field approximation (MFA). The compari- son of the results has shown that the results for correlation functions obtained via MFA are in good agreement with the exact results of TMM only at small and at large proton concentrations. Nevertheless, the MFA for correlation functions gives the right structure of proton energy spectrum and chemical potential behaviour. Thus, here we use the MFA to calculate the statistical weights in order to perform the evaluation of Green’s function and chemical potential, leaving the TMM for a more complete future analysis. The correlation functions, calculated in MFA have the following form: C0 1 = ( 1 − n 2 )2 , C0 2 = C0 3 = n 2 ( 1 − n 2 ) , C0 4 = n2 4 , C0 αβ = C0 α · C0 β, α, β = 1, 4. (A.18) Here n is the average proton concentration per one bond (0 6 n 6 2). 62 Strong short range interactions. . . Taking into account (9), (A.15) and the following expression for the zero-order Green’s function g0 ia,ia(ωn) = g0 ib,ib(ωn) = 4∑ α=1 C0 α iωn − Eα , g0 ia,ib = g0 ib,ia = 0, (A.19) obtained in [9,10], as well as the expressions for correlation functions (A.18), we can calculate the irreducible part Γ (2) ib;ib;i+1,a;i+1,a Γ (2) ib;ib;i+1,a;i+1,a(ωn1 , ωn2 , ωn3 , ωn4 ) = −βδ(ωn1 − ωn2 + ωn3 − ωn4 )J × [ ( 1−n 2 )4 (iωn1 −E1)(iωn2 −E1)(iωn3 −E1)(iωn4 −E1) ( 1 + J iωn1 +iωn3 −E1−E3 ) + n 2 ( 1−n 2 )3 (iωn1 −E1)(iωn2 −E1)(iωn3 −E2)(iωn4 −E2) ( 1 + J iωn1 +iωn3 −E2−E3 ) + n 2 ( 1−n 2 )3 (iωn1 −E1)(iωn2 −E1)(iωn3 −E3)(iωn4 −E3) ( 1 + J iωn1 −iωn4 ) + n2 4 ( 1−n 2 )2 (iωn1 −E1)(iωn2 −E1)(iωn3 −E4)(iωn4 −E4) ( 1 + J iωn1 −iωn4 −E3+E4 ) + · · · ] . (A.20) This expression consists of 16 terms but only a few of them are shown for brevity. Each term possesses the same structure but differs from the others in statistical weights and in energies of the poles. A similar procedure in calculating the four-vertex irreducible part can be used when the sites in the cluster are separated by one or more intermediate sites. In this case the neighbourhood of the cluster consists of three and four sites, correspond- ingly. References 1. Salejda W., Dzhavadov N.A. // Phys. Stat. Sol. (b), 1990, vol. 158, p. 119. 2.
