Energy current correlation in solvable long-range interacting systems

Abstract

We consider heat transfer in one-dimensional systems with long-range interactions. It is known that typical short-range interacting systems shows anomalous behavior in heat transport when total momentum is conserved, whereas momentum-nonconserving systems do not exhibit anomaly. In this study, we focus on the effect of long-range interaction. We propose an exactly solvable model that reduces to the so-called momentum-exchange model in the short-range interaction limit. We exactly calculate the asymptotic time decay in the energy current correlation function, which is related to the thermal conductivity via the Green-Kubo formula. From the time decay of the current correlation, we show three qualitatively crucial results. First, the anomalous exponent in the time-decay continuously changes as a function of the index of the long-range interaction. Second, there is a regime where the current correlation diverges with increasing the system size with fixed time, and hence, the exponent of the time decay cannot be defined. Third, even momentum-nonconserving systems can show the anomalous exponent indicating anomalous heat transport. Higher dimensions are also considered, and we found that long-range interaction can induce the anomalous exponent even in three-dimensional systems.

Anomalous heat transport in harmonic long-range chains

Francesco Andreucci

In recent years there has been a remarkable rise of interest in the study of heat transport in long-range systems, i.e, systems in which the interaction between constituents scales as a power-law of their distance. The results present in the literature suggest that heat transport in long-range systems can be anomalous, but the understanding of transport properties in these systems remains a difficult and open problem, especially if one wants to obtain analytical results. We thus decided to analyze heat transport properties in linear long-range chains in one dimension, and this work contains the results of this analysis. We begin by considering the simplest long-range system: the fully-connected chain coupled to two external baths. In this case we are able to analytically extract the scaling of the heat-flux with the system's size: this system thus proved a reference result for more complex interactions. We then consider the case of a power-law long-range chain coupled to two baths: in this case we show numerically that the heat flux scales as non-trivial power of system's size and we provide an analytical estimate of the exponent. Finally, we consider a power-law long-range ring with stochastic collisions: in this case we are able to exactly compute the scaling exponent of the thermal conductivity using the Green-Kubo formula, and we find good agreement between our results and numerical simulations.

Energy Diffusion in the Long-Range Interacting Spin Systems

Hideaki Nishikawa, Keiji Saito

We investigate energy diffusion in long-range interacting spin systems, where the interaction decays algebraically as V(r)∝r^{-α} with the distance r between the sites. We consider prototypical spin systems, the transverse Ising model, and the XYZ model in the D-dimensional lattice with a finite exponent α>D which guarantees the thermodynamic extensivity. In one dimension, both normal and anomalous diffusion are observed, where the anomalous diffusion is attributed to anomalous enhancement of the amplitude of the equilibrium current correlation. We prove the power-law clustering property of arbitrary orders of joint cumulants in general dimensions. Applying this theorem to equal-time current correlations, we further prove several theorems leading to the statement that the sufficient condition for normal diffusion in one dimension is α>3/2 regardless of the models. The fluctuating hydrodynamics approach consistently explains Lévy diffusion for α<3/2, which implies that the condition is optimal. In higher dimensions of D≥2, normal diffusion is indicated as long as α>D.

Exact Results for Anomalous Transport in One-Dimensional Hamiltonian Systems

Henk van Beijeren

Anomalous transport in one-dimensional translation invariant hamiltonian systems with short range interactions is shown to belong in general to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class. Exact asymptotic forms for density-density and current-current time correlation functions and their Fourier transforms are given in terms of the Prähofer-Spohn scaling functions, obtained from their exact solution for the polynuclear growth model. The exponents of corrections to scaling are found as well, but not so the coefficients. Mode coupling theories developed previously are found to be adequate for weakly nonlinear chains but in need of corrections for strongly anharmonic interparticle potentials. A simple condition is given under which Kardar-Parisi-Zhang behavior does not apply, sound attenuation is only logarithmically superdiffusive, and heat conduction is more strongly superdiffusive than under Kardar-Parisi-Zhang behavior.

Breakdown of the power-law decay prediction of the heat current correlation in one-dimensional momentum conserving lattices

Shunda Chen, Yong Zhang, Jiao Wang +1 more

We show that the asymmetric inter-particle interactions can induce rapid decay of the heat current correlation in one-dimensional momentum conserving lattices. When the asymmetry degree is appropriate, even exponential decay may arise. This fact suggests that the power-law decay predicted by the hydrodynamics may not be applied to the lattices with asymmetric inter-particle interactions, and as a result, the Green-Kubo formula may instead lead to a convergent heat conductivity in the thermodynamic limit. The mechanism of the rapid decay is traced back to the fact that the heat current has to drive a mass current additionally in the presence of the asymmetric inter-particle interactions.

Tunneling conductance of long-range Coulomb interacting Luttinger liquid

DinhDuy Vu, Iucci, Carlos Aníbal, S. Das Sarma

The theoretical model of the short-range interacting Luttinger liquid predicts a power-law scaling of the density of states and the momentum distribution function around the Fermi surface, which can be readily tested through tunneling experiments. However, some physical systems have long-range interaction, most notably the Coulomb interaction, leading to significantly different behaviors from the short-range interacting system. In this paper, we revisit the tunneling theory for the one-dimensional electrons interacting via the long-range Coulomb force. We show that even though in a small dynamic range of temperature and bias voltage, the tunneling conductance may appear to have a power-law decay similar to short-range interacting systems, the effective exponent is scale-dependent and slowly increases with decreasing energy. This factor may lead to the sample-to-sample variation in the measured tunneling exponents. We also discuss the crossover to a free Fermi gas at high energy and the effect of the finite size. Our work demonstrates that experimental tunneling measurements in one-dimensional electron systems should be interpreted with great caution when the system is a Coulomb Luttinger liquid.

Transport and conservation laws

X. Zotos, Félix Naef, Peter Prelovšek

We study the effect of conservation laws on the finite-temperature transport properties in one-dimensional integrable quantum many-body systems. We show that the energy current is closely related to the first conservation law in these systems and therefore the thermal transport coefficients are anomalous. Using an inequality on the time decay of current correlations we show how the existence of conserved quantities implies a finite charge stiffness (weight of the zero-frequency component of the conductivity) and so ideal conductivity at finite temperatures.
