Enhancement of tunneling density of states at a junction of three Luttinger liquid wires.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the tunneling density of states (TDOS) for a junction of three Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid wires. We show that there are fixed points which allow for the enhancement of the TDOS, which is unusual for Luttinger liquids. The distance from the junction over which this enhancement occurs is of the order of x=v/(2omega), where v is the plasmon velocity and omega is the bias frequency. Beyond this distance, the TDOS crosses over to the standard bulk value independent of the fixed point describing the junction. This finite range of distances opens up the possibility of experimentally probing the enhancement in each wire individually.

Enhancement of the tunneling density of states in Tomonaga-Luttinger liquids.
We have calculated the tunneling density of states (DOS) at the location of a backward scattering defect for quantum wires and for edge state electrons in quantum Hall systems. A singular enhancement of the DOS arises as a result of the combined effect of multiple backward scattering together with a repulsive electron—electron interaction.

متن کاملInterference and zero-bias anomaly in tunneling between Luttinger-liquid wires
We present theoretical calculations and experimental measurements which reveal the Luttinger-liquid ~LL! nature of elementary excitations in a system consisting of two quantum wires connected by a long narrow tunnel junction at the edge of a GaAs/AlGaAs bilayer heterostructure. The boundaries of the wires are important and lead to a characteristic interference pattern in measurements on short j...
متن کاملAnomalous Density of States of a Luttinger Liquid in Contact with a Superconductor.
We study the frequency and space dependence of the local tunneling density of states of a Luttinger liquid (LL) which is connected to a superconductor. This coupling strongly modifies the single-particle properties of the LL. It significantly enhances the density of states near the Fermi level, whereas this quantity vanishes as a power law for an isolated LL. The enhancement is due to the inter...
متن کاملTunneling density of states, pair correlation, and Josephson current in spin-incoherent Luttinger-liquid/superconductor hybrid systems
We study a hybrid system consisting of a spin-incoherent Luttinger liquid adjoined at one or both ends to a superconductor. We find that the tunneling density of states diverges at low energies and exhibits a universal frequency dependence independent of the strength of the interactions in the system. We show that in spite of exponentially decaying pair correlations with distance into the spin-...
متن کاملLuttinger liquid behavior in metallic carbon nanotubes
Coulomb interaction effects have pronounced consequences in carbon nanotubes due to their 1D nature. In particular, correlations imply the breakdown of Fermi liquid theory and typically lead to Luttinger liquid behavior characterized by pronounced power-law suppression of the transport current and the density of states, and spin-charge separation. This paper provides a review of the current und...
