Properties of One-Particle Excitation for Two-Chain Tomonaga–Luttinger Model

Abstract

The one-particle Green's function for the two-chain Tomonaga–Luttinger (TL) model coupled by interchain hopping including spin degrees of freedom is calculated as a function of distance and time by the higher-dimensional bosonization method. In the short distance and time region, the one-dimensional TL liquid behavior is reproduced, while the long distance and time behavior is different from that for either TL or Fermi liquid. As the interaction becomes stronger, the behavior of Green's function becomes closer to that for the one-dimensional TL liquid, showing that the one-dimensionality is enhanced for stronger electron interaction, and is interpreted as the precursor of the “confinement”.

Crossover between Luttinger and Fermi-liquid behavior in weakly coupled metallic chains

Peter Kopietz, V. Meden, Kurt Schönhammer

We use higher-dimensional bosonization to study the normal state of electrons in weakly coupled metallic chains interacting with long-range Coulomb forces. Particular attention is paid to the crossover between Luttinger and Fermi-liquid behavior as the interchain hopping ${t}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}$ is varied. Although in the physically interesting case of finite but small ${t}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}$ the quasiparticle residue does not vanish, the single-particle Green's function exhibits the signature of Luttinger-liquid behavior (i.e., anomalous scaling and spin-charge separation) in a large intermediate parameter regime. Using realistic parameters, we find that the scaling behavior in this regime is characterized by an anomalous dimension of the order of unity, as suggested by recent experiments on quasi-one-dimensional conductors. Our calculation also gives insights into the approximations inherent in higher-dimensional bosonization; in particular, we show that the replacement of a curved Fermi surface by a finite number $M$ of flat patches can give rise to unphysical nesting singularities in the single-particle Green's function, which disappear only in the limit $M\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty}$ or if curvature effects are included. We also compare our approach with other methods. This work extends our recent letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 74, 2997 (1995)].

Two-particle dynamics in a Luttinger liquid

Enrico Perfetto

We study the two-particle dynamics in one-dimensional (1D) electron systems described by the Tomonaga-Luttinger model. By using bosonization methods we compute analytically two different kinds of two-particle response functions. In the first case the creation of the two particles does not involve any other degree of freedom in the system, and the subsequent propagation is described by a standard two-body Green's function. This is relevant to address, e.g, the behavior of recently observed local pairs in 1D optical lattices. In the second case the creation of the two particles occurs coherently with the decay of a third localized particle. Such a condition is crucial to study the Auger transitions in 1D systems like carbon nanotubes, where two holes are left in the valence band after the decay of a core-hole.

Nonuniversality of the one-particle Green’s function of a Luttinger liquid

V. Meden

The one-particle Green's function of the Tomonaga-Luttinger model for one-dimensional interacting electrons is discussed. For certain directions within the plane of space-time coordinates the exponent of the asymptotic power law decay is not given by the Luttinger liquid parameters ${K}_{\ensuremath{\rho}}$ and ${K}_{\ensuremath{\sigma}}.$ The consequences for Luttinger liquids in general and their spectral properties are discussed.

Correlation functions of higher-dimensional Luttinger liquids

Lorenz Bartosch, Peter Kopietz

Using higher-dimensional bosonization we study correlation functions of fermions with singular forward scattering. Following Bares and Wen [Phys. Rev. B 48, 8636 (1993)] we consider density-density interactions in $d$ dimensions that diverge in Fourier space for small momentum transfers |q| as $|\mathbf{q}{|}^{\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\eta}}$ with $\ensuremath{\eta}=2(d\ensuremath{-}1).$ In this case the single-particle Green's function shows Luttinger-liquid behavior. However, in contrast to $d=1,$ in higher dimensions the singularity of the momentum distribution ${n}_{\mathbf{k}}$ for wave vectors k close to the Fermi wave vector ${k}_{F}$ is characterized by a different exponent than the singularity of the density of states \ensuremath{\rho}(\ensuremath{\omega}) for frequencies \ensuremath{\omega} close to zero. We also calculate the irreducible polarization ${\ensuremath{\Pi}}_{\ensuremath{\star}}(\mathbf{q},\ensuremath{\omega})$ for $|\mathbf{q}|\ensuremath{\approx}{2k}_{F}.$ Whereas in the one-dimensional Tomonaga-Luttinger model ${\ensuremath{\Pi}}_{\ensuremath{\star}}(\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}{2k}_{F}+q,\ensuremath{\omega})$ exhibits anomalous scaling, we show that in $d>1$ the leading singular corrections cancel. Thus, even though singular density-density interactions in $d>1$ lead to Luttinger liquid behavior of the single-particle Green's function, gauge invariant correlation functions such as the polarization or the conductivity show conventional Fermi-liquid behavior. We discuss consequences for the effect of disorder on higher-dimensional Luttinger liquids.

DC Josephson Effect in a Tomonaga–Luttinger Liquid

Yositake Takane

The dc Josephson effect in a one-dimensional Tomonaga-Luttinger (TL) liquid is studied on the basis of two bosonized models. We first consider a TL liquid sandwiched between two superconductors with a strong barrier at each interface. Both the interfaces are assumed to be perfect if the barrier potential is absent. We next consider a TL liquid with open boundaries, weakly coupled with two superconductors. Without putting strong barriers, we instead assume that the coupling at each interface is described by a tunnel junction. We calculate the Josephson current in each model, and find that the two models yield same results. The Josephson current is suppressed by repulsive electron-electron interactions. It is shown that the suppression is characterized by only the correlation exponent for the charge degrees of freedom. This result is inconsistent with a previously reported result, where the spin degrees of freedom also affects the suppression. The reason of this inconsistency is discussed.

Variational description of the dimensional crossover in an array of coupled one-dimensional conductors

A. V. Rozhkov

Variational wave function is proposed to describe electronic properties of an array of one-dimensional conductors coupled by transverse hopping and interaction. For weak or intermediate in-chain interaction the wave function has the following structure: Tomonaga-Luttinger bosons with momentum higher than some variational quantity $\stackrel{\ifmmode \tilde{}\else \~{}\fi{}}{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}$ are in their ground state while other bosons (with $|k|<\stackrel{\ifmmode \tilde{}\else \~{}\fi{}}{\ensuremath{\Lambda}})$ form kinks --- fermionlike excitations of the Tomonaga-Luttinger boson field. The nature of the ground state for these quasiparticles can be determined by solving a three-dimensional effective Hamiltonian. Since the anisotropy of the effective Hamiltonian is small the use of mean-field theory is justified. For repulsive interaction possible phases are density wave and p-wave superconductivity. Our method allows us to calculate the low-energy part of different electronic Green's functions. In order to do this it is sufficient to apply standard perturbation theory technique to the effective Hamiltonian. When the in-chain interaction is strong $\stackrel{\ifmmode \tilde{}\else \~{}\fi{}}{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}$ vanishes and no fermionic excitation is present in the system. In this regime the dynamics is described by transversally coupled Tomonaga-Luttinger bosons.

However, in contrast to d=1,d=1,d=1, in higher dimensions the singularity of the momentum distribution nk{n}_{\mathbf{k}}nk​ for wave vectors k close to the Fermi wave vector kF{k}_{F}kF​ is characterized by a different exponent than the singularity of the density of states \ensuremath{\rho}(\ensuremath{\omega}) for frequencies \ensuremath{\omega} close to zero. We also calculate the irreducible polarization ${\ensuremath{\Pi}}_{\ensuremath{\star}}(\mathbf{q},\ensuremath{\omega})$ for $|\mathbf{q}|\ensuremath{\approx}{2k}_{F}.$ Whereas in the one-dimensional Tomonaga-Luttinger model ${\ensuremath{\Pi}}_{\ensuremath{\star}}(\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}{2k}_{F}+q,\ensuremath{\omega})$ exhibits anomalous scaling, we show that in d>1d>1d>1 the leading singular corrections cancel. Thus, even though singular density-density interactions in d>1d>1d>1 lead to Luttinger liquid behavior of the single-particle Green's function, gauge invariant correlation functions such as the polarization or the conductivity show conventional Fermi-liquid behavior. We discuss consequences for the effect of disorder on higher-dimensional Luttinger liquids.
