Two-band model with attractive and repulsive interactions in one dimension: Ground state, excitations, and thermodynamics

Abstract

We present the exact solution via Bethe's ansatz to an integrable model consisting of two parabolic bands of electrons of equal mass with a local \ensuremath{\delta}-function exchange interaction. The interaction is attractive or repulsive depending on whether the interacting particles are in a spin-singlet or spin-triplet state. The structure of the Bethe ansatz and the classification of states is similar to the one of the two-channel Kondo problem. The interest in two-band models arises from the possibility that both the 3${\mathit{d}}_{\mathit{x}}^{2}$-${\mathit{y}}^{2}$ and 3${\mathit{d}}_{\mathit{z}}^{2}$ orbitals may play a role in high-${\mathit{T}}_{\mathit{c}}$ cuprates. Some low-temperature properties of this model are discussed as a function of the interaction strength, a magnetic field, and the (crystalline field) splitting between the bands. The attractive interaction leads to Cooper-pair-like bound states, which exist at every temperature. There is no long-range order and no condensation of the Cooper pairs. A threshold magnetic field is required to overcome the binding energy of the Cooper pairs and there is no response to fields smaller than the critical one. The low-temperature specific heat is proportional to T, except at critical points (van Hove singularities of the bands) where C\ensuremath{\propto}${\mathit{T}}^{1/2}$. The spectrum of elemental excitations is approximately parabolic.

Integrable two-band model with attractive and repulsive interactions

P. Schlottmann

The exact solution via Bethe's ansatz to a model consisting of two parabolic bands of electrons with local attractive and repulsive interactions is presented. Some low-temperature properties of this model are discussed as a function of the interaction strength, a magnetic field, and the crystal-field splitting between the bands. The attractive interaction leads to Cooper-pair-like bound states and a threshold magnetic field is required to overcome the binding energy. The low-T specific heat is proportional to T, except at critical points where C\ensuremath{\propto}${\mathit{T}}^{1/2}$.

Ground-state properties and excitations of an integrable one-dimensional model with δ-function interaction involving several bands

P. Schlottmann

We consider an integrable model consisting of n parabolic bands of electrons of equal mass with a δ-function exchange interaction. The interaction is attractive or repulsive depending on whether the interacting particles are in a spin-singlet or triplet state. The structure of the Bethe ansatz and the classification of states is similar to that of the n-channel Kondo problem. The attractive interaction leads to Cooper-pair-like boundstates. Some ground-state properties and the excitation spectrum are discussed for the special situation of degenerate bands.

Low-temperature properties of the Hubbard chain with an attractive interaction

Kong-Ju-Bock Lee, P. Schlottmann

The thermodynamic Bethe-ansatz equations for the one-dimensional Hubbard model with attractive on-site interaction of the electrons are solved numerically at low temperatures. At low temperatures the dominant states consist of spin-paired electrons (Cooper-pair--like) and excitations of such pairs (without breaking up the singlet bound states). A critical field (energy required to depair a Cooper pair) is obtained at T=0 (note that the superconducting ${T}_{c}$=0), which disappears for T\ensuremath{\ne}0. The specific heat is linear in temperature, and the dependence of the coefficient \ensuremath{\gamma} on band filling and magnetic field is discussed. The excitation spectrum shows some analogies with that of resonant valence bonds in two dimensions.

Exactly solvable model with spin-triplet pairs and magnetic correlations

Andrei A. Zvyagin, P. Schlottmann

We consider an exactly solvable two-band model of electrons moving in one dimension and interacting with a $\ensuremath{\delta}$-function spin-exchange potential. The relative population of the bands is determined by the band splitting, the magnetic field, and the temperature. The interaction leads to the formation of spin-triplet bound states of the Cooper type (hard-core bosons that do not condensate and exist at all temperatures). In the zero-field ground state the spin-triplet states are effectively free bosons. A threshold band splitting is required to break up a triplet pair. The low-temperature and finite size properties are discussed in the context of anomalous superconducting and antiferromagnetic fluctuations.

A soluble model for the formation of exciton bands and electron-hole droplets in one dimension

P. Schlottmann

We consider an integrable model consisting of two one-dimensional parabolic bands of opposite mass (m=+or- 1/2 , respectively) separated by a gap, 2 Delta . The bands contain spinless fermions, one band corresponds to the conduction band and the other one to the valence band of a semiconductor or semimetal. The holes in the valence band and the spinless electrons in the conduction band are locally attracted via a delta -function potential. This model can be mapped onto the two-component Fermi gas with delta -function interaction, so that the two components label the bands: the chemical potential corresponds to a magnetic field, and Delta to the chemical potential. We use Gaudin and Yang's exact solution of the many-body problem to study the formation of exciton bands. The properties of the ground and metastable states, the excitation spectrum and the thermodynamics of the model are obtained. In the ground or metastable states the particles (electrons in the conduction band and holes in the valence band) are either paired in exciton bound states or unpaired. Their spectrum of elemental excitations is approximately parabolic. At finite T many-particle bound states (string solutions of the Bethe ansatz equations) can be populated; at low T these states are strongly delocalized and can be interpreted as electron-hole droplets. The low-T properties of the model are discussed.

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

P. Schlottmann

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.
