Physical Properties of Metals from a Renormalization Group Standpoint
نویسندگان
چکیده
We derive the equilibrium and transport properties of metals using renormalization group equations and finite-size scaling. Particular attention is given to the well-known cases of Fermi and Luttinger liquids. An important subtlety is that the temperature dependence of many transport coefficients is determined by “dangerous” irrelevant operators. We also characterize violations of Fermi or Luttinger liquid behavior in terms of indices, analogous to the critical indices describing phase transitions. We briefly consider the normal-state properties of the cuprates from this standpoint.

Polymers and Random Walks Renormalization Group Description and Comparison With Experiment
Although real polymers involve the sequential addition of monomers having fixed bond lcngrhs, fixed bond angles and some freedom of rotation about single bond, the properties of polymers over large length scales can be modeled by treating the polymer configuration as that of a random walk formed by the monomer units. Serious complicatons arise in the theoretical description of these polymers be...
متن کاملA numerical renormalization group approach for calculating the spectrum of a vibronic system occurring in molecules or impurities in insulators
Theoretically, in order to describe the behavior of a spectrum, a mathematical model whichcould predict the spectrum characteristics is needed. Since in this study a Two-state system has beenused like models which was introduced previously past and could couple with the environment, theformer ideas have been extended in this study. we use the second quantized version for writing thisHamiltonian...
متن کاملTime-Dependent Real-Space Renormalization Group Method
In this paper, using the tight-binding model, we extend the real-space renormalization group method to time-dependent Hamiltonians. We drive the time-dependent recursion relations for the renormalized tight-binding Hamiltonian by decimating selective sites of lattice iteratively. The formalism is then used for the calculation of the local density of electronic states for a one dimensional quant...
متن کاملInvestigate the effect of distance from source and species type on the absorption ability of heavy metals by tree species around Nahavand cement factory
This study aims at investigating the effect of distance from source, species type and soil physical chemical properties on the absorption ability of heavy metals by tree species around the Nahavand cement factory. In the present research, soil and tree leaf (Pseudoacacia L, Populus nigra L, Elaeagnus angustifolia L, Fraxinus excelsior and Thuja orientalis L) samples were taken from 300, 500, 80...
متن کاملNon-Fermi-Liquid Behavior and Anomalous Suppression of Landau Damping in Layered Metals Close to Ferromagnetism.
We analyze the low-energy physics of nearly ferromagnetic metals in two spatial dimensions using the functional renormalization group technique. We find a new low-energy fixed point, at which the fermionic (electronlike) excitations are non-Fermi-liquid (z_{f}=13/10) and the magnetic fluctuations exhibit an anomalous Landau damping whose rate vanishes as Γ_{q}∼|q|^{3/5} in the low-|q| limit. We...
