Abstract

The Tomonaga-Luttinger liquids with spin-polarized Fermi points in an external magnetic field are studied theoretically. The critical exponent of the Fermi-edge singularity is analytically obtained. Power-law divergence of edge spectra is possible even for repulsive electron-hole interactions.

Fermi-edge singularity of the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquids with spin-split Fermi points

Hiroshi Otani, Tetsuo Ogawa

Interacting electron systems in one dimension with spin-split Fermi points are studied theoretically with the aid of the Tomonaga-Luttinger bosonization. The spin splitting of the systems considered is classified into three categories: (i) the momentum-dependent spin splitting without the time-reversal symmetry, (ii) the momentum-dependent spin splitting with the time-reversal symmetry, and (iii) the momentum-independent spin splitting. Calculating analytically the current-current correlation functions in the three cases, the critical exponents of the optical Fermi-edge singularity (FES) are obtained by using the forward-scattering Tomonaga-Luttinger model. The phase diagrams for the sign of the FES exponent are drawn to clarify the relation between the shape of optical edge spectra and the electron-electron or the electron-hole interactions. Response to circularly polarized incident light is also revealed. In the case of the momentum-dependent spin splitting, the power-law divergence of the edge spectra is possible even for repulsive electron-hole interactions. This is in striking contrast to the FES in spin-degenerate (no spin splitting) electron systems. The FES in a spin-split chiral Luttinger liquid is also discussed. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

Fermi-Edge Singularity in a Spin-Incoherent Luttinger Liquid

Gregory A. Fiete

We theoretically investigate the Fermi-edge singularity in a spin-incoherent Luttinger liquid. Both cases of finite and infinite core hole mass are explored, as well as the effect of a static external magnetic field of arbitrary strength. For a finite mass core hole the absorption edge behaves as (omega-omega th)alpha/square root of absolute value (ln(omega-omega th)) for frequencies omega just above the threshold frequency omega th. The exponent alpha depends on the interaction parameter g of the interacting one dimensional system, the electron-hole coupling, and is independent of the magnetic field strength, the momentum, and the mass of the excited core hole (in contrast to the spin-coherent case). In the infinite mass limit, the spin-incoherent problem can be mapped onto an equivalent problem in a spinless Luttinger liquid for which the logarithmic factor is absent, and backscattering from the core hole leads to a universal contribution to the exponent alpha.

Resonance in the Fermi-edge singularity of one-dimensional systems

Yuval Oreg, Alexander M. Finkel’stein

The problem of the Fermi-edge singularity in a one-dimensional Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid is reconsidered. The backward scattering of the conduction band electrons on the impuritylike hole in the valence band is analyzed by mapping the problem onto a Coulomb gas theory. For the case when the electron-electron interaction is repulsive, the obtained exponent of the one-dimensional Fermi-edge singularity appears to be different from the exponent found in previous studies. It is shown that the infrared physics of the Fermi-edge singularity in the presence of backward scattering and electron-electron repulsion resembles the physics of the Kondo problem. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

Fermi-edge singularity with backscattering in the Luttinger-liquid model

Nikolay V. Prokof'ev

We study the response of the interacting electron gas in one-dimension (1D) to a local external potential. In the low-frequency limit the power-law singularities are essentially modified by backscattering effects which, in the case of zero forward scattering, result in the universal critical exponent depending only on the Luttinger-liquid interactions. The results obtained may be used to describe singular responses of the 1D boson chains.

Power-Law Dependence of Correlaration Functions in the Tomonaga-Luttinger Liquid

Nelson Oyindenyifa Nenuwe, Famous Akpojotor

The power-law dependence of correlation functions at low energies is what clearly distinguishes the Tomonaga-Luttinger (TL) liquid and the Fermi liquid (FL). The correlation function critical exponent for the FL is usually fixed to an integer, while that of the TL liquid varies continuously. We calculate the nature of power-law dependence in the charge, spin and electron correlation functions for the TL liquid at both zero and small magnetic fields. In particular, our approach centres on the Bethe Ansatz and conformal field theory (CFT). This is important since the concept of CFT relates critical exponents of various correlation functions with the finite-size corrections to the energy spectrum. Our findings show that increase in the particle density nc, and external magnetic field B, increases the value of the critical exponents while increase in the interaction strength u, decreases the value of the critical exponents.

Fermi-edge singularity in one-dimensional electron systems with long-range Coulomb interactions

Hiroshi Otani, Tetsuo Ogawa

Effects of long-range Coulomb interactions on the Fermi-edge singularity in optical spectra are investigated theoretically for one-dimensional spin-1/2 fermion systems with the use of the Tomonaga-Luttinger bosonization technique. Low-energy excitation spectrum near the Fermi level shows that dispersion of the charge-density fluctuation remains gapless but is nonlinear when the electron-electron (e-e) Coulomb interaction is of the ${\mathit{x}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}1}$ type (i.e., an infinite force range). Temporal behavior of the current-current correlation function is calculated analytically for arbitrary force ranges, ${\ensuremath{\lambda}}_{\mathit{e}}$ and ${\ensuremath{\lambda}}_{\mathit{h}}$, of the e-e and the electron-hole (e-h) Coulomb interactions. (i) When both the e-e and the e-h interactions have large but finite force ranges (${\ensuremath{\lambda}}_{\mathit{e}}$\ensuremath{\infty} and ${\ensuremath{\lambda}}_{\mathit{h}}$\ensuremath{\infty}), the correlation function yields a power-law decay only for a long-time regime, which is determined by the force ranges as t>max[${\ensuremath{\lambda}}_{\mathit{e}}$,${\ensuremath{\lambda}}_{\mathit{h}}$]/${\mathit{v}}_{\mathit{F}}$. Corresponding optical spectrum near the Fermi edge (within an energy range of \ensuremath{\Elzxh}${\mathit{v}}_{\mathit{F}}$/max[${\ensuremath{\lambda}}_{\mathit{e}}$,${\ensuremath{\lambda}}_{\mathit{h}}$]) exhibits the power-law divergence or the power-law convergence, which is an ordinary Fermi-edge singularity. (ii) When either the e-e or the e-h interaction is of the ${\mathit{x}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}1}$ type (i.e., ${\ensuremath{\lambda}}_{\mathit{e}}$\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty} and/or ${\ensuremath{\lambda}}_{\mathit{h}}$\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty}), an exponent of the correlation function is dependent on time to lead the faster decay than that of any power laws. Then the optical spectra show no power-law dependence and always converge (become zero) at the Fermi edge, which is in striking contrast to the ordinary power-law singularity. Relations between the spectral shape and a measurement time (frequency resolution) are also clarified. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.
