Quantal density functional theory of excited states: Application to an exactly solvable model

Marlina Slamet, Viraht Sahni

Abstract The quantal density functional theory (Q‐DFT) of excited states is the description of the physics of the mapping from any bound nondegenerate excited state of Schrödinger theory to that of the s‐system of noninteracting Fermions with equivalent density ρk(r), energy Ek, and ionization potential Ik. The s‐system may either be in an excited state with the same configuration as in Schrödinger theory or in a ground state with a consequently different configuration. The Q‐DFT description of the s‐system is in terms of a conservative field ℱk(r), whose electron‐interaction ℰee(r) and correlation‐kinetic 𝒵 (r) components are separately representative of electron correlations due to the Pauli exclusion principle and Coulomb repulsion, and correlation‐kinetic effects, respectively. The sources of these fields are expectations of Hermitian operators taken with respect to the system wavefunction. The local electron‐interaction potential vee(r) of the s‐system, representative of all the many‐body correlations, is the work done to move an electron in the force of the field ℱk(r). The electron interaction Eee and correlation‐kinetic Tc components of the total energy Ek may be expressed in integral virial form in terms of their respective fields. The difference between the s‐system in its ground or excited state representation is due entirely to correlation‐kinetic effects. The highest occupied eigenvalue of the s‐system differential equation in either case is minus the ionization potential Ik. In this work we demonstrate the transformation of an excited state of Schrödinger theory, as represented by the first excited singlet state of the exactly solvable Hooke's atom, to that of noninteracting Fermions in their ground state with equivalent excited state density, energy, and ionization potential. To further prove the Fermions are in a ground state, we solve the corresponding singlet s‐system differential equation numerically for the vee(r) determined, and obtain the excited state density from the zero node orbitals generated. The resulting total energy is also the same. In addition, the single eigenvalue determined corresponds to minus the ionization potential of the excited state. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Thermal conductivity in one-dimensional electronic fluids

Dmitri B. Gutman, Ivan V. Protopopov, Rickmoy Samanta +1 more

We study thermal conductivity in one-dimensional electronic fluids combining kinetic [R. Samanta, I. V. Protopopov, A. D. Mirlin, and D. B. Gutman, Thermal transport in one-dimensional electronic fluid, Phys. Rev. Lett. 122, 206801 (2019)] and hydrodynamic [I. V. Protopopov, R. Samanta, A. D. Mirlin, and D. B. Gutman, Anomalous hydrodynamics in one-dimensional electronic fluid, Phys. Rev. Lett. 126, 256801 (2021)] theories. The kinetic approach is developed by partitioning the Hilbert space into bosonic and fermionic sectors. We focus on the regime where the long-living thermal excitations are fermions and compute thermal conductivity. From the kinetic theory standpoint, the fermionic part of thermal conductivity is normal, while the bosonic one is anomalous, that scales as ω–1/3 and thus dominates in the infrared limit. The multi-mode hydrodynamic theory is obtained by projecting the fermionic kinetic equation on the zero modes of its collision integral. On a bare level, both theories agree and the thermal conductivity computed in hydrodynamic theory matches the result of the kinetic equation. The interaction between hydrodynamic modes leads to renormalization and consequently to anomalous scaling of the transport coefficients. In a four-mode regime, all modes are ballistic and the anomaly manifests itself in Kardar-Parisi-Zhang-like broadening with asymmetric power-law tails. “Heads” and “tails” of the pulses contribute equally to thermal conductivity, leading to ω–1/3 scaling of heat conductivity. In the three-mode regime, the system is in the universality class of a classical viscous fluid [Herbert Spohn, Nonlinear fluctuating hydrodynamics for anharmonic chains, J. Stat. Phys. 154, 1191 (2014); O. Narayan and S. Ramaswamy, Anomalous heat conduction in one-dimensional momentum-conserving systems, Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 200601 (2002)].

Critical slowing down near a magnetic quantum phase transition with fermionic breakdown

Chia‐Jung Yang, Kristin Kliemt, C. Krellner +3 more

Abstract When a system close to a continuous phase transition is subjected to perturbations, it takes an exceptionally long time to return to equilibrium. This critical slowing down is observed universally in the dynamics of bosonic excitations, such as order-parameter collective modes, but it is not generally expected to occur for fermionic excitations. Here using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy, we find evidence for fermionic critical slowing down in YbRh2Si2 close to a quantum phase transition between an antiferromagnetic phase and a heavy Fermi liquid. In the latter phase, the relevant quasiparticles are a quantum superposition of itinerant and localized electronic states with a strongly enhanced effective mass. As the temperature is lowered on the heavy-Fermi-liquid side of the transition, the heavy-fermion spectral weight builds up until the Kondo temperature TK ≈ 25 K, then decays towards the quantum phase transition and is, thereafter, followed by a logarithmic rise of the quasiparticle excitation rate below 10 K. A two-band heavy-Fermi-liquid theory shows that this is indicative of the fermionic critical slowing down associated with heavy-fermion breakdown near the quantum phase transition. The critical exponent of this breakdown could be used to classify this system among a wider family of fermionic quantum phase transitions that is yet to be fully explored.
