$η$-superconductivity in the one-dimensionnal pair hopping model

Abstract

Using exact Lanczos diagonalizations we have shown that the pair-hopping model for {\it negative} $W$ exhibits a phase transition into $η$-{\it superconducting state}. The transition occurs at {\it any band filling} and the critical value $W_{c}$ varies between $W_{c} \simeq -1.75t$ at half-filling to $W_{c} \simeq -2t$ for two particles on the lattice.
