On transport theory of correlated mesoscopic systems

Abstract

This thesis is about the theory of quantum transport through low dimensional correlated systems. Correlated systems are interacting many-particle systems where collective effects predominate over t ...

Role of disorder and low-density in correlated low-dimensional systems

Morpurgo, Giacomo Arturo Maria

In this thesis, we study the effects of both disorder and low carrier density in low-dimensional systems, employing a variety of analytical and numerical methods. The work is structured in two main parts, each addressing a distinct research direction. The first part focuses on the impact of disorder in one-dimensional and quasi-one dimensional systems. Using tools such as bosonization, renormalization group techniques, and exact diagonalization, we investigate two key aspects. First, we explore how specific spatial correlations in the disorder affect the properties of the metallic-insulating transition in a one-dimensional system, uncovering significant deviations from the behaviour typically associated with uncorrelated disorder. Second, we examine the effects of different types of disorder on a quasi-one-dimensional singlet superconductor, where we recover Anderson’s theorem under certain conditions and observe a competition between disorder and interactions. The second part of the thesis examines magneto-transport in two-dimensional, locally correlated materials. Using a microscopic quantum theory, we demonstrate pronounced deviations of the Hall constant and the conductivities of the system from their semiclassical predictions, in regimes where the Fermi energy is no longer the dominant energy scale.

Transport and Collective Dynamics in Fermi and Non-Fermi Liquids

Eric Nilsson

Modern quantum materials host a wide range of electronic phases in which transport properties are governed by strong interactions and collective effects. This thesis investigates charge, heat, and momentum transport in interacting electronic systems across different theoretical frameworks, ranging from Fermi liquid theory to strongly coupled strange metals.The first part of the thesis focuses on two-dimensional Fermi liquids at finite temperature, where rapid electron-electron scattering can give rise to hydrodynamic behavior. A kinetic-theory framework allowing an exact treatment of quasiparticle distribution functions beyond the asymptotic low-temperature regime is used to compute the full spectrum of collective modes, providing a detailed characterization of long-lived odd-parity excitations and the intermediate transport regime between ballistic and hydrodynamic flow. The same framework is employed to determine the shear viscosity of interacting electron liquids beyond conventional perturbative limits.The second part of the thesis concerns strongly interacting quantum systems where the quasiparticle picture breaks down.Holographic duality is used to study transport and thermoelectric response in quantum critical systems subject to periodic potentials, providing a controlled framework for momentum relaxation and magnetotransport in non-Fermi liquids. The thesis further develops holographic models of collective charge dynamics in systems with dynamical electromagnetism, including bulk plasmons and surface plasmon polaritons, and explores connections between Fermi surface physics and holographic gauge-field dynamics.

1 Particle and Energy Transport in quantum disordered and quasi-periodic chains connected to mesoscopic Fermi reservoirs

Shigeru Ajisaka, Felipe Barra, Carlos Mejía-Monasterio +1 more

We study a model of nonequilibrium quantum transport of particles and energy in a many-body system connected to mesoscopic Fermi reservoirs (the so-called meso-reservoirs). We discuss the conservation laws of particles and energy within our setup as well as the transport properties of quasi-periodic and disordered chains.

Correlations in low-dimensional quantum many-particle systems

Erik Eriksson

This thesis concerns correlation effects in quantum many-particle systems in one and two dimensions. Such systems show many exotic non-Fermi liquid phenomena, which can be treated analytically using non-perturbative field-theory methods.\nQuantum phase transitions between topologically ordered phases of matter, which do not break any symmetries, are studied. It is shown that although there is no local order parameter, a local measure from quantum information theory called reduced fidelity can detect such transitions.\nEntanglement in quantum impurity systems is also studied. The general expression for scaling corrections in entanglement entropy from boundary perturbations is derived within conformal field theory, showing that the asymptotic decay of Kondo screening clouds follow the same power-law as the impurity specific heat.\nFurthermore, the effects from spin-orbit interactions on Kondo physics in helical Luttinger liquids are studied. Such helical liquids occur on the edges of two-dimensional topological insulators. It is shown that Rashba and Dresselhaus interactions can potentially destroy Kondo singlet formation in such a system, and that the coupling to an electric field gives a mechanism to control transport properties.\nThe most recent work focuses on correlations in interacting one-dimensional Bose gases. The asymptotic expression for correlation functions in a generalized Gibbs ensemble, where all the local conservation laws appear, is obtained from Bethe Ansatz and conformal field theory.\nIn addition to the research papers with the above results, the thesis also contains an introductory text reviewing background material.
