Ground-state and elemental excitations of the one-dimensional multicomponent Fermi gas with delta -function interaction

Abstract

We consider a gas of fermions with parabolic dispersion and N spin components (or spin S, N=2S+1) with SU(N) symmetry in one dimension interacting via a delta -function potential. The model is integrable and its solution has been obtained by Sutherland in terms of N nested Bethe ansatze. The ground-state Bethe ansatz integral equations are solved numerically for both repulsive and attractive interactions to obtain the energy, the chemical potential, and the magnetic susceptibility as a function of the band filling and the interaction strength. For the repulsive interaction the Fermi gas has the properties of a Luttinger liquid. In the attractive case, on the other hand, the fermions in the ground-state form bound states of up to N fermions of different spin components. The spectrum of elemental charge and spin excitations is derived for the repulsive and attractive situations. The spectrum is discussed in the limits of vanishing interaction strength and very strong coupling. For the repulsive interaction the low-lying charge excitations can be characterized by the Fermi momentum and the Fermi velocity. The range of the spin-wave excitations is correlated with the Fermi momentum of the charges. The spin wave velocity is inversely proportional to the magnetic susceptibility. The spin-wave excitations become soft in the infinite-repulsive-coupling limit. In the attractive case in zero field all excitation branches except that of bound states of N fermions have an energy gap. It requires a finite energy to break these bound states and hence there is no response to a field smaller than a critical field. The low-T specific heat is proportional to the temperature.

Thermodynamics of the one-dimensional multicomponent Fermi gas with a delta -function interaction

P. Schlottmann

The author considers a gas of fermions with parabolic dispersion and N spin-components (or spin S, N=2S+1) with SU(N) symmetry in one dimension interacting via a delta -function potential. The model is integrable and its solution has been obtained by Sutherland in terms of N nested Bethe ansatze. He analyses the discrete Bethe ansatz equations and classifies their solutions according to the string hypothesis. The thermodynamic Bethe-ansatz equations are derived for arbitrary band-filling for both repulsive and attractive interaction in terms of the thermodynamic energy potentials for the classes of eigenstates of the Hamiltonian. These equations are then discussed in several limiting cases, e.g. S=1/2, the ground state (T to 0), for vanishing interaction strength, for strong coupling, in the high-temperature limit, and the large-N limit.

Universal low-energy physics in 1D strongly repulsive multi-component Fermi gases

Yuzhu Jiang, Peng He, Xi‐Wen Guan

Abstract It has been shown (Yang and You 2011 Chin. Phys. Lett. 28 020503 ) that at zero temperature the ground state of the one-dimensional (1D) w -component Fermi gas coincides with that of the spinless Bose gas in the limit . This behavior was experimentally evidenced through quasi-1D tightly trapping ultracold 173 Yb atoms in a recent paper (Pagano et al 2014 Nat. Phys. 10 198 ). However, understanding of low-temperature behavior of Fermi gases with a repulsive interaction requires spin-charge separated conformal field theories of an effective Tomonaga–Luttinger liquid and an antiferromagnetic SU ( w ) Heisenberg spin chain. Here we analytically derive universal thermodynamics of 1D strongly repulsive fermionic gases with SU ( w ) symmetry via the Yang–Yang thermodynamic Bethe ansatz method. The analytical free energy and magnetic properties of the systems at low temperature in a weak magnetic field are obtained through the Wiener–Hopf method. In particular, the free energy essentially manifests the spin-charge separated conformal field theories for high-symmetry systems with arbitrary repulsive interaction strength. We also find that the sound velocity of the Fermi gases in the large w limit coincides with that for the spinless Bose gas, whereas the spin velocity vanishes quickly as w becomes large. This indicates strong suppression of the Fermi exclusion statistics by the commutativity feature among the w -component fermions with different spin states in the Tomonaga–Luttinger liquid phase. Moreover, the equations of state and critical behavior of physical quantities at finite temperature are analytically derived in terms of the polylogarithm functions in the quantum critical region.

Threshold singularities in a Fermi gas with attractive potential in one dimension

P. Schlottmann, Andrei A. Zvyagin

We consider the one-dimensional gas of fermions with spin S interacting via an attractive δ -function potential using the Bethe Ansatz solution. In zero magnetic field the atoms form bound states of N = 2 S + 1 fermions, i.e. generalized Cooper states with each atom having a different spin component. For low energy excitations the system is a Luttinger liquid and is properly described by a conformal field theory with conformal charge c = 1 . The linear dispersion of a Luttinger liquid is asymptotically exact in the low-energy limit where the band curvature terms in the dispersion are irrelevant. For higher energy excitations, however, the spectral function displays deviations in the neighborhood of the single-particle (hole) energy, which can be described by an effective X-ray edge type model. Using the Bethe Ansatz solution we obtain expressions for the critical exponents for the single-particle (hole) Green's function. This model can be relevant in the context of ultracold atoms with effective total spin S confined to an elongated optical trap.

1D multicomponent Fermions with delta function interaction in strong and weak coupling limits: $κ$-component Fermi gas

Xi-Wen Guan, Zhong-Qi Ma, Brendan Wilson

We derive the first few terms of the asymptotic expansion of the Fredholm equations for one-dimensional $κ$-component fermions with repulsive and with attractive delta-function interaction in strong and weak coupling regimes. We thus obtain a highly accurate result for the ground state energy of a multicomponent Fermi gas with polarization for these regimes. This result provides a unified description of the ground state properties of the Fermi gas with higher spin symmetries. However, in contrast to the two-component Fermi gas, there does not exist a mapping that can unify the two sets of Fredholm equations as the interacting strength vanishes. Moreover, we find that the local pair correlation functions shed light on the quantum statistic effects of the $κ$-component interacting fermions. For the balanced spin case with repulsive interaction, the ground state energy obtained confirms Yang and You's result [Chin. Phys. Lett. {\bf 28}, 020503 (2011)] that the energy per particle as $κ\to \infty$ is the same as for spinless Bosons.

Ground state properties and excitation spectrum of the degenerate supersymmetric t-J model in one dimension

P. Schlottmann

The authors considers the one-dimensional SU(N)-invariant t-J model which consists of electrons with N spin components on a lattice with nearest-neighbour hopping t constrained by the excluded multiple occupancy of the lattice sites and spin-exchange J between neighbouring lattice sites. The model is integrable at the supersymmetric point t=J. The ground state Bethe ansatz equations are analysed and solved numerically for arbitrary band filling and several values of N. The ground state energy, the chemical potential and the spin susceptibility are obtained as a function of band filling. The elemental charge and spin excitations are derived for arbitrary N and band filling. The energy of the charge excitations vanishes at the Fermi surface. The Fermi velocity has a maximum as a function of band filling, vanishing for the empty and full bands. The spinwave velocity is inversely proportional to the susceptibility. For exactly one electron per site the charge fluctuations are suppressed and the Bethe ansatz equations map onto those of the SU(N)-invariant Heisenberg chain.
