A fully interacting many-electron-phonon system in one dimension: an exactly soluble model

Abstract

A one-dimensional electron gas problem is investigated within the framework of the Luttinger model incorporating both the electron-acoustic-phonon interaction and the electron-optical-phonon interaction together with the electron-electron interaction. It is shown that this model is exactly soluble and the energy spectrum is constituted by bosonic excitations. It is also shown that for certain values of the coupling parameters the system exhibits an instability indicating the possibility of a phase transition.

Functional-integral approach to an exactly soluble one-dimensional electron-phonon system

Yang Chen, Derek K. K. Lee, Marco U. Luchini

We consider forward-scattering electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions in an extended Tomonaga-Luttinger model. The method of functional integration over anticommuting fields gives us a bosonized effective action. This enables us to obtain the spectrum and the correlation functions of the system exactly. We consider couplings to both acoustic and optical phonons. In the case of acoustic phonons, we obtain $T\ensuremath{\rightarrow}0$ phase diagram in the plane of coupling constants which indicates the existence of a normal phase between the regions of charge-density-wave and superconducting instabilities. This is qualitatively different from previous results.

Electron-Phonon Interaction in One Dimension: Extended Tomonaga- Luttinger Model

P. Kleinert, Valerij V. Bryksin

On the basis of the extended Hubbard model we consider phonon mediated forward scattering in one-dimensional systems. Exact results for the two-particle spectral functions are derived for the case when Umklapp and backward scattering due to electron–electron interaction are neglected. Due to the electron–phonon interaction the phase diagram of the interacting electron system changes remarkably. In dependence on the phonon frequency and on the electron–phonon coupling constant a new divergence may appear in a two-particle spectral function or an existing one may be removed. The inclusion of Umklapp and backward scattering leads to the appearance of an energy gap and a polaron energy shift. The electron–phonon coupling constant is strongly renormalized and vanishes faster than the charge velocity as half-filling is approached. Beyond half-filling the polaron shift may diverge at certain values of the coupling parameters. This divergency is related to the Wentzel-Bardeen singularity.

Polarons in One Dimension: Fröhlich–Toyozawa–Luttinger Model

Ashok Chatterjee, Soma Mukhopadhyay

This chapter presents the energy spectrum and the momentum distribution of the Frohlich–Toyozawa–Luttinger liquid. The one-dimensional many-electron problem has generated renewed interest after the discovery of quasi-one dimensional solids such as carbon nanotubes, quantum wires, and other one-dimensional systems. Tomonaga was the first to solve the one-dimensional interacting fermion problem exactly using bosonization and certain approximations regarding the commutator of the density operators. Marino considered a one-dimensional acoustic many-polaron Hamiltonian within the framework of the Luttinger model and showed that for a certain range of the coupling constants the system would exhibit a metallic behavior because the spectrum contains gapless collective excitations of polaronic plasmons. Rao et al. have exactly solved the one-dimensional interacting electron problem within the framework of Luttinger model incorporating both the electron-optical-phonon interaction and the electron-acoustic-phonon interaction along with the electron-electron interaction to obtain the energy spectrum.

PHASE DIAGRAM FOR A LUTTINGER LIQUID COUPLED TO PHONONS IN ONE DIMENSION

Thierry Martin, Daniel Loss

We consider a one-dimensional system consisting of electrons with short-ranged repulsive interactions and coupled to small-momentum transfer acoustic phonons. The interacting electrons are bosonized and described in terms of a Luttinger liquid which allows us to calculate exactly the one- and two-electron Green function. For non-interacting electrons, the coupling to phonons alone induces a singularity at the Fermi surface which is analogous to that encountered for electrons with an instantaneous attractive interaction. The exponents which determine the presence of singlet/triplet superconducting pairing fluctuations, and spin/charge density wave fluctuations are strongly affected by the presence of the Wentzel-Bardeen singularity, resulting in the favoring of superconducting fluctuations. For the Hubbard model the equivalent of a phase diagram is established, as a function of: the electron-phonon coupling, the electron filling factor, and the on-site repulsion between electrons. The Wentzel-Bardeen singularity can be reached for arbitrary values of the electron-phonon coupling constant by varying the filling factor. This provides an effective mechanism to push the system from the antiferromagnetic into the metallic phase, and finally into the superconducting phase as the electron filling factor is increased towards half-filling.

One dimensional acoustic phonon linearly coupled to electron density

Sanjeev Kumar, Gautam Kumar Sinha

We have studied one dimensional acoustic phonon linearly coupled to the electron density. The phonon spectrum is linear with cutoff at the Debye frequency, it is straightforward modification of three dimensional optical phonons. Phonon field results in substituting the dynamical coupling for the screened coulomb interaction. We have shown that the electron-phonon coupling quantitatively changed the phase diagram of Luttinger liquid with a single impurity. The existence of slow and fast polaron modes with different weights in different regimes resulted in different renormalization group flow for a weak scatterer and a weak tunneling link. The resulting phase diagram depending on the parameters of the problem, regimes corresponding to purely metallic or purely insulating behavior and an intermediate regime with two stable fixed points and one unstable, finite conductance fixed point. we have found that the direction of renormalization group flow change upon varying either the relative strength of the electron-electron and electron-phonon coupling or the ratio of Fermi to sound velocities. The obtained results were found in good agreement with previously obtained results.
