The fluctuation around the molecular field of the spin density wave (SDW) state has been examined by calculating the collective modes and the spectral weight as a function of arbitrary strength of the repulsive on-site interaction, U , for a one-dimensional system with the half-filled band. The transverse mode is well described by the spin wave for both the small U and the large U and takes the spectral weight which is dominant compared with that of the longitudinal mode for the large U . The temperature dependence of the static magnetic susceptibility is calculated for both the longitudinal and transverse cases.
We theoretically investigate the transient spectral function during the photoinduced melting of charge order in a correlated electron system, to unravel the dynamical processes triggered by different initial excitations. We employ a one-dimensional interacting spinless fermion model introducing a pulsed laser light, and perform a comparative study by the Hartree-Fock approximation and by the exact diagonalization method to numerically solve the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. We find characteristic behavior in the transient spectral function, whose features strongly depend on the pump light frequency
ωp. When
ωp is resonant with the collective phase mode of frequency
Ωc≃ΔCO/2, where
ΔCO is the charge gap, the transient spectral function exhibits a photoinduced in-gap weight which triggers large responses. With increasing the laser intensity, the development of in-gap weight directly turns into the collapse of the gap. This charge-order destabilization process is in sharp contrast to the case of
ωp>ΔCO, where the photoirradiation induces interband electron-hole excitations giving rise to a shrinkage of the gap. The impact of quantum fluctuations and spatial inhomogeneity on the photoinduced dynamics is also discussed.
We systematically investigate the mode dispersion and spectral weight of the elementary excitation spectra in one-dimensional continuum and lattice electron systems by using the RPA, the Luttinger liquid model, and the Hubbard model. Both charge and spin excitations are studied in detail and compared among the theoretical models. For the lattice Hubbard model we use both Bethe-ansatz equations and Lanczos-Gagliano method to calculate dispersion and spectral weight separately. We discuss the theoretically calculated elementary excitation spectra in terms of the experimental inelastic light (Raman) scattering spectroscopy of one-dimensional (1D) semiconductor quantum wire systems. Our results show that in the polarized (i.e., non-spin-flip) Raman-scattering spectroscopy, only the 1D charge density excitations should show up with observable spectral weight with the single-particle excitations (in random-phase approximation) or singlet spin excitations (in the Luttinger model and the Hubbard model) having negligible spectral weight. The depolarized (spin-flip) Raman-scattering spectra manifest the spin density or the triplet spin excitations. We also provide a qualitative comparison between the continuum and the lattice 1D elementary excitation spectra.
