Incoherent scatterer in a Luttinger liquid: a new paradigmatic limit.
We address the problem of a Luttinger liquid with a scatterer that allows for both coherent and incoherent scattering channels. The asymptotic behavior at zero temperature is governed by a new stable fixed point: A Goldstone mode dominates the low energy dynamics, leading to universal behavior. This limit is marked by equal probabilities for forward and backward scattering. Notwithstanding this...
متن کاملFermi-edge singularity in a spin-incoherent Luttinger liquid.
We theoretically investigate the Fermi-edge singularity in a spin-incoherent Luttinger liquid. Both cases of finite and infinite core hole mass are explored, as well as the effect of a static external magnetic field of arbitrary strength. For a finite mass core hole the absorption edge behaves as (omega-omega th)alpha/square root of absolute value (ln(omega-omega th)) for frequencies omega just...
متن کاملColloquium: The spin-incoherent Luttinger liquid
In contrast to the well-known Fermi-liquid theory of three dimensions, interacting one-dimensional and quasi-one-dimensional systems of fermions are described at low energy by an effective theory known as Luttinger liquid theory. This theory is expressed in terms of collective many-body excitations that show exotic behavior such as spin-charge separation. Luttinger liquid theory is commonly app...
متن کاملDuality of weak and strong scatterer in a Luttinger liquid coupled to massless bosons.
We study electronic transport in a Luttinger liquid with an embedded impurity, which is either a weak scatterer (WS) or a weak link (WL), when interacting electrons are coupled to one-dimensional massless bosons (e.g., acoustic phonons). We find that the duality relation, ΔWSΔWL=1, between scaling dimensions of the electron backscattering in the WS and WL limits, established for the standard Lu...
متن کاملInteracting electrons in one dimension beyond the Luttinger-liquid limit
Over the past several decades, Luttinger-liquid theory has provided a framework for interacting electrons in one dimension. However, the validity of the theory is strictly limited to low-energy excitations where the electron dispersion is linear. Interacting electrons in one-dimension beyond the Luttingerliquid limit, where the underlying dispersion of electrons is no longer linear, exhibit int...
