We use a density-matrix renormalization group method to study quantitatively the phase diagram of the half-filled one-dimensional (1D) extended Hubbard model in the presence of a staggered ionic potential Δ. An extensive finite-size scaling analysis is carried out on the relevant structure factors and localization operator to characterize the Mott-insulator (MI)-bond-ordered insulator (BOI)-band-insulator (BI) transitions. The intermediate BOI phase occupies a small region of the phase diagram, and this region is enlarged in the presence of Δ. In addition, the phase diagram of ionic Hubbard (the nearest-neighbor electron-electron interaction V=0) is also given.
