On the conductance of 1D quantum wire

Ken‐Ichiro Imura, K.-V. Pham, Pascal Lederer +1 more

We discuss the conductance of quantum wires (QW) in terms of the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid (TLL) theory. We use explicitly the charge fractionalization scheme which results from the chiral symmetry of the model. We suggest that results of the standard two-terminal (2T) conductance measurement depend on the coupling of TLL with the reservoirs and can be interpreted as different boundary conditions at the interfaces. We propose a three-terminal (3T) geometry in which the third contact is connected weakly to the bulk of TLL subjected to a large bias current. We develop a renormalization group (RG) analysis for this problem by taking explicitly into account the splitting of the injected electronic charge into two chiral irrational charges. We study in the presence of {\it bulk} contact the leading order corrections to the conductance for two different boundary conditions, which reproduce in the absence of {\it bulk} contact, respectively, the standard 2T source-drain (SD) conductance $G_{\rm SD}^{(2)}=e^2/h$ and $G_{\rm SD}^{(2)}=ge^2/h$ , where $g$ is the TLL charge interaction parameter. We find that under these two boundary conditions for the {\it end} contacts the 3T SD conductance $G_{\rm SD}^{(3)}$ shows an UV-relevant deviation from the above two values, suggesting new fixed points in the ohmic limit. Non-trivial scaling exponents are predicted as a result of electron fractionalization.We discuss the conductance of quantum wires (QW) in terms of the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid (TLL) theory.

Fractional Charge in Transport through a 1D Correlated Insulator of Finite Length

Vadim V. Ponomarenko, Naoto Nagaosa

Transport between two Fermi liquid reservoirs through a one channel wire of length $L$ is examined when the 1D electron system has an energy gap $2M\ensuremath{\gg}{v}_{c}/L$ ( ${v}_{c}$ is the charge velocity in the wire). In the spinless case transformation of reservoir electrons into solitons of fractional charge entails a crossover from a Fermi liquid regime of integer charge transfer below the crossover energy ${T}_{x}\ensuremath{\ll}{T}_{L}$ to an insulating regime of the fractional charge transfer in the current vs voltage, conductance vs temperature, and the shot noise. Similar behavior is predicted for a spin Mott insulator of filling factor $\ensuremath{\nu}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}n/({2m}^{\ensuremath{'}})$ ( ${n,m}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ are positive integers).Transport between two Fermi liquid reservoirs through a one channel wire of length $L$ is examined when the 1D electron system has an energy gap $2M\ensuremath{\gg}{v}_{c}/L$ ( ${v}_{c}$ is the charge velocity in the wire).

Finite doping of a one-dimensional charge density wave: Solitons vs Luttinger liquid charge density

Yuval Weiss, Moshe Goldstein, Richard Berkovits

The effects of doping on a one-dimensional wire in a charge density wave state are studied using the density-matrix renormalization group method. We show that for a finite number of extra electrons, the ground state becomes conducting but the particle density along the wire corresponds to a charge density wave with an incommensurate+ wave number determined by the filling. We find that the absence of the translational invariance can be discerned even in the thermodynamic limit as long as the number of doping electrons is finite. The Luttinger liquid behavior is reached only for a finite change in the electron filling factor, which for an infinite wire corresponds to the addition of an infinite number of electrons. In addition to the half filled insulating Mott state and the conducting states, we find evidence for subgap states at fillings different from half filling by a single electron or hole. Finally, we show that by coupling our system to a quantum dot, one can have a discontinuous dependence of its population on the applied gate voltage in the thermodynamic limit, similar to the one predicted for a Luttinger liquid without umklapp processes.The effects of doping on a one-dimensional wire in a charge density wave state are studied using the density-matrix renormalization group method.
