Abstract

In this paper we study the charge and spin currents transported by the elementary excitations of the one-dimensional Hubbard model. The corresponding current spectra are obtained by both analytic methods and numerical solution of the Bethe-ansatz equations. For the case of half-filling, we find that the spin-triplet excitations carry spin but no charge, while charge $η$-spin triplet excitations carry charge but no spin, and both spin-singlet and charge $η$-spin-singlet excitations carry neither spin nor charge currents.

Charge and spin transport in the one-dimensional Hubbard model

Nuno M. R. Peres, Pedro D Sacramento, J. M. P. Carmelo

We study the charge and spin currents transported by the elementary excitations of the one-dimensional (1D) Hubbard model and derive the corresponding current spectra. We present results both for finite-size systems and in the thermodynamic limit. This includes finding the couplings of both the low-energy and finite-energy (string) excitations to external charge and spin probes. At zero magnetic field the general structure of the charge-spin separation survives at all energy scales and the effective charges of both the low-energy and finite-energy charge excitations are studied as functions of the on-site Coulomb interaction U , electronic density n , and applied magnetic field H . In some limits the effective charge of the low-energy excitations equals that of the electrons, whereas that of the finite-energy charge-string excitations of rapidity length γ is found to be 2γ times the electronic charge. At U = ∞ the spin excitations do not contribute to spin transport, whereas the low-energy charge excitations feel an effective flux given by (ϕ ↑ N ↑ -ϕ ↓ N ↓ )/( N ↑ + N ↓ ), where N σ is the number of electrons of spin σ and ϕ σ is a spin-dependent flux. This reveals that at zero magnetic field and U = ∞ there is no spin transport, while at finite magnetic field the low-energy charge excitations also carry spin. In the U >> t limit the spin is carried both by holons and spinons. Finally, we find that the charge- and spin-current spectra can be derived from a semi-classical approach.

Spin excitations carry charge currents: one-dimensional Hubbard model

S. Brazovskiǐ, Sergey I. Matveenko, Ph. Nozières

The problem of spin-charge separation is addressed by considering current carrying states in a one-dimensional system of interacting electrons. Exact results for the Hubbard model and the bosonization method are exploited. We find that away from half filling both spin and charge excitations carry charge currents which are proportional to their momenta for most cases. Being in a qualitative agreement with the noninteracting ld Fermi gas picture, this result contradicts the spin-charge separation concept as it is usually derived e.g. from the bosonization approach or in a strong repulsion picture. For weak coupling the paradox is resolved by taking into account the Fermi velocity dispersion and by reexamining the structure of the current operator within the bosonization approach. For strong coupling we recover an effect of hale drag by a spinon as reflected in their momentum shifts.

Charge and Spin Currents of the 1D Hubbard Model at Finite Energy

Nuno M. R. Peres, Pedro D Sacramento, J. M. P. Carmelo

The transport of charge and spin at finite energies is studied for the Hubbard chain in a magnetic field by means of the pseudoparticle perturbation theory. In the general case, this involves the solution of an infinite set of Bethe-ansatz equations with a flux. Our results refer to all densities and magnetizations. We express the charge and the spin-diffusion currents in terms of elementary currents associated with the charge and spin carriers. We show that these are the α,γpseudoparticles (with α=c,s and γ=0,1,2,3,...) and we find their couplings to charge and spin. We also study the ratios of the pseudoparticle charge and spin transport masses over the corresponding static mass. These ratios provide valuable information on the effects of electronic correlations in the transport properties of the quantum system. We show that the transport of charge and spin in the Hubbard chain can, alternatively, be described by means of pseudoparticle kinetic equations. This follows from the occurrence of only forward-scattering pseudoparticle interactions at all energies.

Spin Transport Properties of the One-Dimensional Heisenberg Chain: Bethe-Ansatz Solution with Twist Boundary Conditions

Zhang Qiu-Lan, Shi-Jian Gu

Based on the Bethe-Ansatz solution of the one-dimensional Heisenberg model under twist boundary conditions, we study the spectra of the persistent current carried by the low-lying excited states. It is shown that though the energy spectra of spin-singlet and spin-triplet excitations are degenerate, their persistent current spectra are quite different.

Elementary excitations for the one-dimensional Hubbard model at finite temperatures

Asako Tomiyama, Sei-ichiro Suga, A. Okiji

The elementary excitations for the one-dimensional Hubbard model at finite temperatures are studied with the use of the Bethe ansatz solution. The formulation is based on the method of Yang and Yang, which was developed for the one-dimensional boson systems with the -function type interaction. The dispersion relations and the excitation spectrums are obtained numerically for the charge and the spin degrees of freedom.

Charge and spin excitation spectra in the one-dimensional Hubbard model with next-nearest-neighbor hopping

Satoshi Nishimoto, Tomonori Shirakawa, Y. Ohta

We calculate spin and charge excitation spectra of the one-dimensional (1D) quarter-filled Hubbard model with nearest-neighbor $t$ and next-nearest-neighbor ${t}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ hopping integrals using the dynamical density-matrix renormalization group technique. We consider a case where $t$ $(>0)$ is much smaller than ${t}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ $(>0)$. First, we examine the accuracy of our method based on comparison between our result and exact noninteracting spectrum. Next, we investigate the spectra with the on-site Coulomb interaction. We find that the spin and charge excitation spectra are essentially the same as those of the 1D quarter-filled Hubbard (and $t\text{\ensuremath{-}}J$) model for the two 1D chains along the hopping integral ${t}^{\ensuremath{'}}$. However, the hopping integral $t$ $(<{t}^{\ensuremath{'}})$ plays a crucial role in the short-range correlations and low-energy excitaions; ferromagnetic correlation between electrons on neighboring sites is enhanced and pairing correlation between the electrons is induced. Consequently, a spin-triplet superconducting state may be derived.
