Localization properties of two interacting particles in a quasi-periodic potential with a metal-insulator transition

چکیده
We study the influence of many-particle interactions on a metal-insulator transition. We consider the two-interacting-particle problem for onsite interacting particles on a one-dimensional quasiperiodic chain, the so-called Aubry-André model. We show numerically by the decimation method and finite-size scaling that the interaction does not modify the critical parameters such as the transition point and the localization-length exponent. We compare our results to the case of finite density systems studied by means of the density-matrix renormalization scheme.

Manganites are considered as subbranches of condensed matter physics with a great wealth of physical mechanisms. In this investigation we have studied the structural, electrical and magnetic properties of a series of La1-xCaxMnO3 manganite with x=0.1, 0.2, …,0.5. We observed that the crystal structure of this manganite, with small dopping, at room temperature is orthorhombic and by increasi...
متن کاملTwo interacting particles at the metal - insulator
To investigate the innuence of electronic interaction on the metal-insulator transition (MIT), we consider the Aubry-Andr e (or Harper) model which describes a quasiperiodic one-dimensional quantum system of non-interacting electrons and exhibits an MIT. For a two-particle system, we study the effect of a Hubbard interaction on the transition by means of the transfer-matrix method and nite-size...
متن کاملInteracting lattice electrons with disorder in two dimensions: Numerical evidence for a metal-insulator transition with a universal critical conductivity
The Coulomb interaction between the electrons and the presence of disorder both strongly affect the properties of solids.1–5 Namely, electronic correlations and randomness are separate driving forces behind metal-insulator transitions (MITs) due to the localization and delocalization of particles. While the electronic repulsion may lead to a Mott-Hubbard MIT,6 the scattering of noninteracting p...
متن کاملCharacterization of the Metal-insulator Transport Transition for the Two-particle Anderson Model
We extend to the two-particle Anderson model the characterization of the metal-insulator transport transition obtained in the one-particle setting by Germinet and Klein. We show that, for any fixed number of particles, the slow spreading of wave packets in time implies the initial estimate of a modified version of the Bootstrap Multiscale Analysis. In this new version, operators are restricted ...
متن کاملMetal-insulator transition in two-dimensional electron systems
Abstract. The interplay between strong Coulomb interactions and randomness has been a long-standing problem in condensed matter physics. According to the scaling theory of localization, in two-dimensional systems of noninteracting or weakly interacting electrons, the ever-present randomness causes the resistance to rise as the temperature is decreased, leading to an insulating ground state. How...
