Low-density thermodynamics of the Hubbard chain
John C. Kimball, Mukesh Eswaran
Abstract
All the three-electron wave functions and energy levels are obtained for the one-dimensional Hubbard model. The second and third virial coefficients for the system are calculated exactly. The virial expansion is converted into an electron density expansion which appears to converge much better than the virial series. The two-particle and three-particle contributions to the specific heat, entropy, intra-atomic correlation function, and magnetic susceptibility of the system are obtained and presented graphically.
