On the "effective exponent theory" of the Coulomb Luttinger liquid

Abstract

The "effective exponent theory", developed by Wang, Millis and Das Sarma in [Phys. Rev. B 69, 167101 (2004), Phys. Rev. B 64, 193307 (2001)], fails to calculate correctly the dynamic correlators of Coulomb Luttinger liquid. Main drawbacks are (i) cutting off the Coulomb potential by killing its long-range component, (ii) the absence of non-contradictory procedure to determine the 'scaling cutoff' and correlation functions for true Coulomb interaction.

Tunneling conductance of long-range Coulomb interacting Luttinger liquid

DinhDuy Vu, Aníbal Iucci, S. Das Sarma

This paper shows that tunneling measurements in a Luttinger liquid with long-range Coulomb interaction show a power law with an effective exponent that is scale-dependent and increases with decreasing energy. The authors provide a scheme to tunneling experiments that relies on measuring over a longer range of temperature/ voltage bias to fully characterize this dependence

Comment on “Dynamic correlations of the spinless Coulomb Luttinger liquid”

D. W. Wang, Andrew J. Millis, S. Das Sarma

We show that claims [Y. Gindikin and V. A. Sablikov, Phys. Rev. B 65, 125109 (2002)], concerning the threshold behavior of the spectral function of a Coulomb Luttinger liquid, are based on an inconsistent mathematical analysis. Physical arguments are also presented, indicating that the claimed behavior is unlikely to be correct.

Tunneling conductance of long-range Coulomb interacting Luttinger liquid

DinhDuy Vu, Iucci, Carlos Aníbal, S. Das Sarma

The theoretical model of the short-range interacting Luttinger liquid predicts a power-law scaling of the density of states and the momentum distribution function around the Fermi surface, which can be readily tested through tunneling experiments. However, some physical systems have long-range interaction, most notably the Coulomb interaction, leading to significantly different behaviors from the short-range interacting system. In this paper, we revisit the tunneling theory for the one-dimensional electrons interacting via the long-range Coulomb force. We show that even though in a small dynamic range of temperature and bias voltage, the tunneling conductance may appear to have a power-law decay similar to short-range interacting systems, the effective exponent is scale-dependent and slowly increases with decreasing energy. This factor may lead to the sample-to-sample variation in the measured tunneling exponents. We also discuss the crossover to a free Fermi gas at high energy and the effect of the finite size. Our work demonstrates that experimental tunneling measurements in one-dimensional electron systems should be interpreted with great caution when the system is a Coulomb Luttinger liquid.

Coulomb Luttinger liquid

D. W. Wang, Andrew J. Millis, S. Das Sarma

Accurate expressions, valid in experimentally relevant regimes, are presented for the effect of a long-ranged Coulomb interaction on the low-energy properties (momentum distribution function, density of states, electron spectral function, and ${4k}_{F}$ correlation function) of one-dimensional electron systems. The importance of plasmon dispersion (as opposed to exponent) effects in the spectral function is demonstrated.

From Luttinger liquid to Mott insulator: The correct low-energy description of the one-dimensional Hubbard model by an unbiased variational approach

Manuela Capello, Federico Becca, Seiji Yunoki +2 more

We show that a particular class of variational wave functions reproduces the low-energy properties of the Hubbard model in one dimension. Our approach generalizes to finite on-site Coulomb repulsion the fully projected wave function proposed by Hellberg and Mele [Phys. Rev. Lett. 67, 2080 (1991)] for describing the Luttinger-liquid behavior of the doped $t\ensuremath{-}J$ model. Within our approach, the long-range Jastrow factor emerges from a careful minimization of the energy, without assuming any parametric form for the long-distance tail. Specifically, in the conducting phase of the Hubbard model at finite hole doping, we obtain the correct power-law behavior of the correlations, with the exponents predicted by the Tomonaga-Luttinger theory. By decreasing the doping, the insulating phase is reached with a continuous change of the small-$q$ part of the Jastrow factor.
