Abstract

The transport of charge and spin at finite energies is studied for the Hubbard chain in a magnetic field by means of the pseudoparticle perturbation theory. In the general case, this involves the solution of an infinite set of Bethe-ansatz equations with a flux. Our results refer to all densities and magnetizations. We express the charge and the spin-diffusion currents in terms of elementary currents associated with the charge and spin carriers. We show that these are the α,γpseudoparticles (with α=c,s and γ=0,1,2,3,...) and we find their couplings to charge and spin. We also study the ratios of the pseudoparticle charge and spin transport masses over the corresponding static mass. These ratios provide valuable information on the effects of electronic correlations in the transport properties of the quantum system. We show that the transport of charge and spin in the Hubbard chain can, alternatively, be described by means of pseudoparticle kinetic equations. This follows from the occurrence of only forward-scattering pseudoparticle interactions at all energies.

Charge and spin transport in the one-dimensional Hubbard model

Nuno M. R. Peres, Pedro D Sacramento, J. M. P. Carmelo

We study the charge and spin currents transported by the elementary excitations of the one-dimensional (1D) Hubbard model and derive the corresponding current spectra. We present results both for finite-size systems and in the thermodynamic limit. This includes finding the couplings of both the low-energy and finite-energy (string) excitations to external charge and spin probes. At zero magnetic field the general structure of the charge-spin separation survives at all energy scales and the effective charges of both the low-energy and finite-energy charge excitations are studied as functions of the on-site Coulomb interaction U , electronic density n , and applied magnetic field H . In some limits the effective charge of the low-energy excitations equals that of the electrons, whereas that of the finite-energy charge-string excitations of rapidity length γ is found to be 2γ times the electronic charge. At U = ∞ the spin excitations do not contribute to spin transport, whereas the low-energy charge excitations feel an effective flux given by (ϕ ↑ N ↑ -ϕ ↓ N ↓ )/( N ↑ + N ↓ ), where N σ is the number of electrons of spin σ and ϕ σ is a spin-dependent flux. This reveals that at zero magnetic field and U = ∞ there is no spin transport, while at finite magnetic field the low-energy charge excitations also carry spin. In the U >> t limit the spin is carried both by holons and spinons. Finally, we find that the charge- and spin-current spectra can be derived from a semi-classical approach.We study the charge and spin currents transported by the elementary excitations of the one-dimensional (1D) Hubbard model and derive the corresponding current spectra.

Finite-temperature charge and spin transport in the one-dimensional Hubbard model accounting for its global [ SU ( 2 ) × SU ( 2 ) × U ( 1 ) ]/ Z 2 2 symmetry

J. M. P. Carmelo, J. E. C. Carmelo

Most studies on the one-dimensional (1D) Hubbard model with transfer integral $t$ and on-site repulsion $U$ have assumed that for $u=U/4t>0$ and $h=\ensuremath{\mu}=0$, where $h$ denotes the magnetic field and $\ensuremath{\mu}$ the chemical potential, its global symmetry is $\mathrm{SO}(4)=[\mathrm{SU}(2)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}\mathrm{SU}(2)]/{Z}_{2}$. However, both in 1D and for the $U>0$ Hubbard model on any bipartite lattice it is actually larger and given by $[\mathrm{SU}(2)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}\mathrm{SU}(2)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}\mathrm{U}(1)]/{Z}_{2}^{2}=[\mathrm{SO}(4)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}\mathrm{U}(1)]/{Z}_{2}$. The studies of this paper account for the irreducible representations of that symmetry to identify both the spin and charge carriers that populate each of the energy eigenstates that span that model full Hilbert space. The global $\ensuremath{\tau}$-translational U(1) symmetry beyond $\mathrm{SO}(4)$ is found to describe the relative translational degrees of freedom of such spin and charge carriers, respectively. We show that important finite-temperature transport quantities as the $h>0$ spin and $\ensuremath{\mu}>0$ charge stiffnesses and the $h=0$ spin and $\ensuremath{\mu}=0$ charge diffusion constants are controlled by microscopic processes associated with the spin and charge elementary currents carried by these spin and charge carriers, respectively. We describe the model finite-temperature transport properties in terms of the microscopic processes associated with the spin and charge elementary currents carried by the corresponding carriers.

Absence of finite-temperature ballistic charge (and spin) transport in the 1D Hubbard model at half filling (and zero spin density)

J. M. P. Carmelo, Shi-Jian Gu, M J Sampaio

Finite-temperature T > 0 transport properties of integrable and nonintegrable one-dimensional (1D) many-particle quantum systems are rather different, showing ballistic and diffusive behavior, respectively. The repulsive 1D Hubbard model is a prominent example of an integrable correlated system. For electronic densities n ≠ 1 (and spin densities m ≠ 0) it is an ideal charge (and spin) conductor, with ballistic charge (and spin) transport for T ⩾ 0. In spite of the fact that it is solvable by the Bethe ansatz, at n = 1 (and m = 0) its T > 0 charge (and spin) transport properties are an issue that remains poorly understood. Here we combine this solution with symmetry and the explicit calculation of current-operator matrix elements between energy eigenstates to show that for on-site repulsion U > 0 and at n = 1 the charge stiffness D η ( T ) vanishes for T > 0 in the thermodynamic limit. A similar behavior is found by such methods for the spin stiffness D s ( T ) for U > 0 and T > 0, which vanishes at m = 0. This absence of finite temperature n = 1 ballistic charge transport and m = 0 ballistic spin transport are exact results that clarify long-standing open problems.Finite-temperature T > 0 transport properties of integrable and nonintegrable one-dimensional (1D) many-particle quantum systems are rather different, showing ballistic and diffusive behavior, respectively.

Charge and spin transport in the one-dimensional Hubbard model

Shi-Jian Gu, Nuno M. R. Peres, J. M. P. Carmelo

In this paper we study the charge and spin currents transported by the elementary excitations of the one-dimensional Hubbard model. The corresponding current spectra are obtained by both analytic methods and numerical solution of the Bethe-ansatz equations. For the case of half-filling, we find that the spin-triplet excitations carry spin but no charge, while charge $η$ -spin triplet excitations carry charge but no spin, and both spin-singlet and charge $η$ -spin-singlet excitations carry neither spin nor charge currents.In this paper we study the charge and spin currents transported by the elementary excitations of the one-dimensional Hubbard model.

Two-particle fluctuations in one-dimensional generalized Landau liquids

J. M. P. Carmelo, Peter Horsch, Alexander A. Ovchinnikov

We use the Landau-liquid character of the low-energy eigenstate spectrum of the Hubbard chain in a magnetic field to investigate its two-particle spectral properties. The picture that emerges is that of a gas of two coupled fluids of pseudoparticles. The kinetic equations that govern the flow of pseudoparticles are derived. The macroscopic currents are expressed in terms of the elementary pseudoparticle currents. As a central result we evaluate in the limit of zero momentum the wave function for the electronic excitations obtained by applying the up-spin and down-spin density-fluctuation operators on the ground state. This wave function is calculated on the basis of the pseudoparticle single-pair eigenstates. It is defined by the microscopic two-particle matrix elements of the corresponding fluctuations taken between the ground state and the elementary excitations. The on-site interaction U, electronic density n, and magnetic field H dependence of these matrix elements, which play a major role in the two-particle spectral functions, provide relevant information on the microscopic foundation of the one-dimensional Landau-liquid theory. This leads to the introduction of an adiabatic continuity principle, which is valid in the Hilbert subspace of the pseudoparticle single-pair eigenstates of lowest energy and momentum. The non-Landau-liquid character of the zero-magnetic-field L\"uttinger phase, where such an adiabatic continuity principle is not valid, is explained.Exact expressions for the two-pseudoparticle forward-scattering amplitudes and for the charge-charge and spin-spin correlation functions at small momentum and low frequency are obtained. The dependence of the charge and spin stiffnesses of the conductivity spectra on U, n, and H, which is determined by the pseudoparticle transport masses, is investigated in detail. The study of these masses and of the effective charge and spin projection of the pseudoparticles gives information on their structure in the electronic representation. It is shown that the decoupling that characterizes the low-energy excitation spectrum does not correspond in the case of finite magnetic fields to a real charge-spin separation. Our results provide a method for the study of the low-frequency dynamics of interacting systems solvable with the Bethe ansatz, and we identify the spectral parameters that control the nonclassical critical exponents with microscopic two-electron matrix elements.We use the Landau-liquid character of the low-energy eigenstate spectrum of the Hubbard chain in a magnetic field to investigate its two-particle spectral properties.

Spin subdiffusion in perturbed infinite-U Hubbard chain

Jakub Rękas, Marcin Mierzejewski, Zala Lenarčič +1 more

The $t$ -model represents the Hubbard model in the limit $U \to \infty$ and is one of the basic models of strongly correlated electrons. On a one-dimensional chain, the model is integrable, and the charge dynamics corresponds to that of free spinless fermions. However, the sequence of spins is frozen, leading to the Hilbert space fragmentation and nontrivial spin dynamics. We consider integrable and perturbed models with perturbations that break integrability while preserving fragmentation, and show that they exhibit various types of spin dynamics, from ballistic transport to anomalous diffusion in the integrable case, and from diffusion to subdiffusion in the perturbed case. Due to fragmentation, in all cases considered, spin transport is mediated by charge transport, with a particular magnetization dependence, most notably leading to subdiffusion in the grandcanonical average of the perturbed model, with a mechanism distinct from subdiffusion in disordered or dipole-conserving models.The $t$-model represents the Hubbard model in the limit $U \to \infty$ and is one of the basic models of strongly correlated electrons.
