Effect Of Coulomb Interactions on The Amplitude Of Persistent Currents In One Dimensional Disordered Mesoscopic Metallic Rings

Robinson O. Okanigbuan, Kingsley N. Onaiwu, S. Ehika

Persistent current is a small but perpetual electric current that flows in metallic rings in the absence of any applied source. We compute the persistent currents of one-dimensional disordered metallic rings of interacting electrons in the presence of impurity on lattices up to 8-sites at half-filling and also away from half-filling using the Lanczos algorithm. For the case of half-filling, we observe that both interaction and disorder suppress the amplitude of the persistent currents by localizing the electrons. However, in the presence of disorder and away from half-filling, the Coulomb interaction is observed to enhance the persistent current. Furthermore, in the half-filled case, there is a transition from metal to insulator as U is increased significantly. In addition, shifting away from half-filling, the system is observed to remain in the metallic state irrespective of the value of the Coulomb repulsion (U). The observations are quite in agreement with the results from other techniques.

Thermal melting of a quantum electron solid in the presence of strong disorder: Anderson localization versus the Wigner crystal

DinhDuy Vu, S. Das Sarma

We consider the temperature-induced melting of a Wigner solid in one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) lattices of electrons interacting via the long-range Coulomb interaction in the presence of strong disorder arising from charged impurities in the system. The system simulates semiconductor-based 2D electron layers where Wigner crystallization is often claimed to be observed experimentally. Using exact diagonalization and utilizing the inverse participation ratio as well as conductance to distinguish between the localized insulating solid phase and the extended metallic liquid phase, we find that the effective melting temperature may be strongly enhanced by disorder since the disordered crystal typically could be in a localized glassy state incorporating the combined nonperturbative physics of both Anderson localization and Wigner crystallization. This disorder-induced enhancement of the melting temperature may explain why experiments often manage to observe insulating disorder-pinned Wigner solids in spite of the experimental temperature being decisively far above the theoretical melting temperature of the pristine Wigner crystal phase in many cases.
