Abstract
We investigate the general applicability of the standard Peierls-Hubbard model, involving both on-site () and nearest-neighbor () Coulomb repulsions, by adding nearest-neighbor off-diagonal terms representing the bond () and mixed bond-site () electron-electron repulsive interactions. For a broad range of the site-diagonal Hubbard parameters (), we find that the off-diagonal terms () initially enhance dimerization, thereby stabilizing the dimerized ground state.
