Response behavior of the two-chain Fermi gas

Abstract

We consider a model of TTF-TCNQ (tetrahiafulvalenium-tetracyanoquinodimethanide) and similar charge-transfer linear conductors in which there are two chains. The electrons on the acceptor (TCNQ) chains have a usual metallic band, but the electrons on the donor (TTF) chains have an inverted or "hole" band. The electrons on each chain interact via the forward and backward scattering ${g}_{2}$ and ${g}_{1}$ processes, respectively. Electrons on different chains interact via the analogous processes ${W}_{2}$ and ${W}_{1}$. The model is also applicable to two metallic chains, with the signs of ${W}_{1}$ and ${W}_{2}$ reversed. Using the techniques of Luther and Emery and of Chui and Lee we show that the problem may be mapped onto a similar problem of three coupled classical two-dimensional Coulomb gases. In addition to gaps in the spin degrees of freedom that were present in the single-chain problem, we find that the antisymmetric form of the resultant charge degrees of freedom may have a gap. We then investigate the predominant two-, four-, six-, and eight-particle response functions and calculate their temperature dependence. In addition to the four divergent two-particle response functions present in the single chain, there is a region for weak interaction strengths in which the $2{k}_{F}$ interchain Cooper pairing response is the most divergent as $T\ensuremath{\rightarrow}0$. The excitonic insulator response may also be important at high temperatures. For the single chain, either the $4{k}_{F}$ response or a four-particle $q=0$ response is the most divergent for strong coupling and repulsive ${g}_{1}$, depending upon the sign of ${g}_{2}\ensuremath{-}\frac{1}{2}{g}_{1}$. For the two-chain system, the most divergent response as $T\ensuremath{\rightarrow}0$ for strongly attractive interactions (${g}_{1}$ and ${g}_{2}$) is the response to the formation of excitonic "molecules" or exciton pairs. For strong coupling and repulsive ${g}_{1}$ either $8{k}_{F}$ or octet responses may be observable. We discuss these results in conjunction with our previous renormalization-group treatment, which indicates that for certain values of ${g}_{2}$, ${W}_{2}$, and ${W}_{1}$ the line ${g}_{1}=0$ may be crossed. We use these results to interpret the recent x-ray data on TTF-TCNQ showing a crossover from $4{k}_{F}$ to $2{k}_{F}$ behavior above the crossover from one-dimensional to three-dimensional behavior.

Order in metallic chains. I. The single chain

Hanoch Gutfreund, Richard A. Klemm

The nature of the order as $T\ensuremath{\rightarrow}0$ in the one-dimensional interacting electron gas is investigated. We consider both low-momentum-transfer (${g}_{2}$ and ${g}_{4}$) and large-momentum-transfer (${g}_{1}$ and ${g}_{3}$) electron-electron interactions, focusing upon the particular value of ${g}_{1}$ for which Luther and Emery have recently found an exact solution. For this value of ${g}_{1}=\ensuremath{-}\frac{6}{5\ensuremath{\pi}{\ensuremath{\nu}}_{F}}$, we calculate the low-frequency behavior of the zero-temperature response functions explicitly. For the singlet superconducting and charge-density-wave responses, our results are consistent with those of Luther and Emery, implying that these response functions are divergent as $\ensuremath{\omega}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}0$ for certain values of ${g}_{2}$. For the triplet superconducting and spin-density-wave responses, however, our results differ from those of Luther and Emery, as we show explicitly that these responses have a gap for low frequencies, as was predicted by Lee. Furthermore, they do not diverge at the gap edge for any value of ${g}_{2}$. We also consider the effect of interactions between electrons on the same side of the Fermi "surface," and find that the low-momentum-transfer process of that type (${g}_{4}$) does not change the response behavior qualitatively. For the large-momentum-transfer process between electrons on the same side of the Fermi "surface" (${g}_{3}$), we may solve the problem exactly for ${g}_{2}=0$ and ${g}_{1}=\ensuremath{-}\frac{6}{5\ensuremath{\pi}{\ensuremath{\nu}}_{F}}$, and find that the ground state of the system exhibits only long-range charge-density-wave order. By a mapping onto the classical two-dimensional Coulomb gas problem, we may extend those results for ${g}_{3}\ensuremath{\ne}0$ to the region ${g}_{1}<0$ and ${g}_{1}\ensuremath{-}2{g}_{2}<|{g}_{3}|$.

Some properties of the one-dimensional Fermi model

Hiroyuki Fukuyama, Thomas Maurice Rice, Chandra Mohan Varma +1 more

A model of one-dimensional fermions characterized by a large momentum-transfer interaction ${g}_{1}$ and a small momentum-transfer interaction ${g}_{2}$ is considered. Results obtained previously by the renormalization-group method are extended by studying the triplet Cooper-pair response function and uniform charge and spin response functions. The sign of ${g}_{1}$ dominates the behavior of the system. For ${g}_{1}>0$, ${g}_{1}\ensuremath{-}2{g}_{2}>0$ the triplet Cooper response diverges as $T\ensuremath{\rightarrow}0$ and is seen to dominate the singlet Cooper response which is also divergent. The uniform static spin susceptibility is nondivergent for ${g}_{1}>0$ and diverges to zero for ${g}_{1}<0$. The specific heat is found to be linear in temperature in all regions. These results, obtained by the second-order renormalization group, yield the correct qualitative results in regions where exact solutions are available.

2pF and 4pF instabilities in the one-dimensional Hubbard model

J. E. Hirsch, Douglas J. Scalapino

We continue our study of correlation functions in the one-dimensional Hubbard model with the use of a Monte Carlo technique. This paper focuses on the behavior of two different particle-hole susceptibilities: the on-site charge-density response function and the nearest-neighbor charge-transfer response function. Although their behavior is predicted to be similar within weak-coupling renormalization-group theory, we find different behavior with our nonperturbative technique. In particular, the charge-transfer susceptibility shows structure at $2{p}_{F}$ for large Coulomb interactions due to spin-Peierls fluctuations, which is absent in the on-site charge-density response. We also study the effect of varying band filling, by comparing results for the $\frac{1}{4}$- filled band ($\ensuremath{\rho}=0.5$) case and the cases $\ensuremath{\rho}=0.61$ and $\ensuremath{\rho}=1$. We find, for example, that it is possible to have structure in the response function at wave vectors that are not simply related to the Fermi wave vector. We discuss the implications of our results to the interpretation of experimental results in various quasi-one-dimensional charge-transfer compounds.

The Fermi gas model of one-dimensional conductors

Jenő Sólyom

The Fermi gas model of one-dimensional conductors is reviewed. The exact solutions known for particular values of the coupling constants in a single chain problem (Tomonaga model, Luther-Emery model) are discussed. Renormalization group arguments are used to extend these solutions to arbitrary values of the couplings. The instabilities and possible ground states are studied by investigating the behaviour of the response functions. The relationship between this model and others is discussed and is used to obtain further information about the behaviour of the system. The model is generalized to a set of coupled chains to describe quasi-one-dimensional systems. The crossover from one-dimensional to three-dimensional behaviour and the type of ordering are discussed.

Phase behaviors of strongly correlated Fermi gases in one-dimensional confinements

Saeed H. Abedinpour, M. Reza Bakhtiari, Gao Xianlong +3 more

We report on the ground state of models for strongly correlated one-dimensional Fermi systems by means of theoretical studies of two-component atomic Fermi gases in highly anisotropic harmonic traps. In this context, we consider (i) the Gaudin-Yang model for a Luttinger liquid with repulsive interactions, including an analysis of the emergence of Wigner molecules in the 2k F → 4k F crossover, and (ii) the lattice Hubbard model yielding Luttinger liquid and Mott insulator or band-insulator phases for repulsive interactions and the Luther-Emery phase for attractive interactions, including in the former case an analysis of the role of disorder. Our calculations use novel versions of density and spin-density functional theory and a density-matrix renormalization-group technique. We also discuss preliminary results and future perspectives in the study of nonsymmetric two-component Fermi gases.

Dynamical properties of two doped, coupled Hubbard chains

R. M. Noack, M. G. Zacher, Endres, H. +1 more

Using quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations combined with Maximum Entropy analytic continuation as well as analytical methods, we examine the one- and two-particle dynamical properties of the Hubbard model on two coupled chains at small doping. The behavior of the single-particle spectral weight $A({\bf k},ω)$ as a function of hopping anisotropy $t_\perp/t$ at intermediate interaction strength is dominated by the transition from one-band behavior at large $t_\perp/t$ to two-band behavior at small $t_\perp/t$, although interaction effects such as band-narrowing, a shift of spectral weight to higher energies in the unoccupied antibonding band and reflected structures due to short-range antiferromagnetic correlations are also present. A single-particle gap is resolved in the intermediate $t_\perp/t$ Luther-Emery phase using Density Matrix Renormalization Group calculations. The dynamical spin and charge susceptibilities show features of the expected bonding-band Luttinger liquid behavior, as well as higher-energy features due to local excitations between the chains at large $t_\perp/t$, and evolve towards the behavior of two uncoupled chains as $t_\perp/t$ is reduced. For the one hole, large $t_\perp/t$ case, we make a detailed comparison between the QMC data and an approximation based on local rung states. At isotropic coupling and somewhat larger doping, we find that the dispersion of the single-particle bands is essentially unrenormalized from that of the noninteracting system, and that the spin and charge response functions have features also seen in random-phase-approximation calculations.

By a mapping onto the classical two-dimensional Coulomb gas problem, we may extend those results for ${g}_{3}\ensuremath{\ne}0$ to the region g1<0{g}_{1}<0g1​<0 and ${g}_{1}\ensuremath{-}2{g}_{2}<|{g}_{3}|$.
