Phenomenological theory of two-dimensional quantum liquids

چکیده

A phenomenological theory is presented for two-dimensional quantum liquids in terms of the Fermi surface geometry. It is shown that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the properties of an interacting electron system and its corresponding Fermi surface. By doing this, the concept of Fermi surface is generalized to include different topologies. It is shown that for a Fermi liquid the corresponding Fermi surface is rough. In the presence of a condensate, the Fermi surface is faceted, while for a ferromagnetc instability, the Fermi surface becomes a frozen solid. I also determine the surface tension, the step free energy, low lying excitations and other surface and transport properties of the Fermi surface. The different transitions between these phases are also determined. A non-Fermi liquid phase is shown to be a pre-roughening state of the Fermi surface, the properties of which are briefly analyzed. Appeared in the Special Issue of Philosophical Magazine B (vol. 74, pp 587) Forty five years of many-body theory dedicated to David Pines in celebration of his 70th birthday.

اثرات بس ذره‌ای در مایعات الکترونی ابعاد کم

 This review article is about the role of electron-electron interactions in low dimensional systems and its transport properties in nano-structures. It begins with a review of the pair-distribution function theory of electron liquid systems taking into account the electron-electron interactions. We extend the theory for highly correlated system such two- and one-dimensional electron liquids. We...

Quantum liquids of particles with generalized statistics

We propose a phenomenological approach to quantum liquids of particles obeying generalized statistics of a fermionic type, in the spirit of the Landau Fermi liquid theory. The approach is developed for fractional exclusion statistics. We discuss both equilibrium (specific heat, compressibility, and Pauli spin susceptibility) and nonequilibrium (current and thermal conductivities, thermopower) p...

Collective excitations in an asymmetrically spin-polarized quantum well

We present a phenomenological picture for the many-body excitations of a two-dimensional electron gas in a quantum well spin polarized by a dc magnetic field at an angle u with the axis of the well. In the framework of the Landau theory of charged Fermi liquids, we determine the frequencies of collective modes by solving a transport equation for quasiparticles in the local electromagnetic field...

The Landau–Ginzberg Theory for the Two-Dimensional Bose Gas

Using results from sheaf theory combined with the phenomenological theory of the two-dimensional superfluid, the precipitation of quantum vortices is shown to be the genesis of a macroscopic order parameter for a phase transition in two dimensions.

How to study correlation functions in fluctuating Bose liquids using interference experiments

Interference experiments with independent condensates provide a powerful tool for analyzing correlation functions. Scaling of the average fringe contrast with the system size is determined by the two-point correlation function and can be used to study the Luttinger liquid liquid behavior in one-dimensional systems and to observe the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition in two-dimensional quasicondens...
