Multispinon excitations in the spin S=1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model

With the commutation relations of the spin operators, we first write out the equations of motion of the spin susceptibility and related correlation functions that have a hierarchical structure, then under the "soft cut-off" approximation, we give a set of equations of motion of spin susceptibilities for a spin S=1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model, that is independent of whether or not the system has a long range order in the low energy/temperature limit. Applying for a chain, a square lattice and a honeycomb lattice, respectively, we obtain the upper and the lowest boundaries of the low-lying excitations by solving this set of equations. For a chain, the upper and the lowest boundaries of the low-lying excitations are the same as that of the exact ones obtained by the Bethe ansatz, where the elementary excitations are the spinon pairs. For a square lattice, the spin wave excitation (magnons) resides in the region close to the lowest boundary of the low-lying excitations, and the multispinon excitations take place in the high energy region close to the upper boundary of the low-lying excitations. For a honeycomb lattice, we have one kind of "mode" of the low-lying excitation. The present results obey the Lieb-Schultz-Mattis theorem, and they are also consistent with recent neutron scattering observations and numerical simulations for a square lattice.

The analytical description of a doped Mott insulator

With the hierarchical Green's function approach, we study a doped Mott insulator described with the Hubbard model by analytically solving the equations of motion of an one-particle Green's function and related multiple-point correlation functions, and find that the separation of the spin and charge degrees of freedom of the electrons is an intrinsic character of the doped Mott insulator. For enough of large on-site repulsive Coulomb interaction, we show that the spectral weight of the one-particle Green's function is proportional to the hole doping concentration that is mainly produced by the charge fluctuation of electrons, while the excitation spectrum of the electrons is composed of two parts: one is contributed by the spin fluctuation of the electrons which is proportional to the hole doping concentration, and another one is coming from the coupling between the charge and spin fluctuations of the electrons that takes the maximum at undoping. All of these low energy/temperature physical properties originate from the strong on-site Coulomb interaction. The present results are consistent with the spectroscopy observations of the cuprate superconductors, and the numerical calculations in normal state above pseudogap regime.

The hierarchical Green function approach to the two-dimensional Hubbard model

By introducing multipe-site correlation functions, we propose a hierarchical Green function approach, and apply it to study the characteristic properties of a 2D square lattice Hubbard model by solving the equation of motions of a one-particle Green function and related multipe-site correlation functions. Under a cut-off approximation and taking the Fourier representation of multipe-site correlation functions, we obtain an analytical expression of one-particle Green function with static correlation functions. Then we calculate the spectral density function of electrons, and obtain that besides two main peaks corresponding to the lower and upper Hubbard bands in the spectral density function, there emerge some novel states between these two main peaks, and the total spectral weight of these emerged states is proportional to the hole doping concentration . Meanwhile, there also emerge some collective modes related to possible charge/spin density wave and/or electronic pairing density wave ordering states. This calculation is completely consistent with the spectroscopy observations of the cuprate superconductors in normal states. On the other hand, the appearence of the static correlation functions in the one-particle Green function can be used to describe the intertwined orders observed in the normal state of the cuprate superconductors.

Pure spin current and perfect valley filter by designed separation of the chiral states in two-dimensional honeycomb lattices

We propose a realization of pure spin currents and perfect valley filter based on a quantum anomalous Hall insulator, around which edge states with up-spin and down-spin circulate. By applying staggered sublattice potential on the strips along the edges of sample, the edge states with down spin can be pushed into the inner boundaries of the strips while the other edge states with up spin remain on the outer boundaries, resulting in spatially separated chiral states with perfect spin polarization. Moreover, a valley filter, which is immune to short-range and smooth long-range scatterers, can be engineered by additionally applying boundary potentials on the outmost lattices of the sample. We also find that the boundary potential can be used to control the size effect induced oscillation of the inner chiral states. The connection of the boundary potential to size effect is revealed.

Comment on "Exact Classification of Landau-Majorana-Stuckelberg-Zener Resonances by Floquet Determinants"

In a recent Letter [S. Ganeshan, E. Barnes, and S. Das Sarma, Phys. Rev. Lett. 111, 130405 (2013)], Ganeshan et al. present a general framework to classify the resonance structure of Landau-Majorana-Stuckelberg-Zener interferometry into three basic categories distinguished by whether these resonances correspond to periodic or nonperiodic quantum evolution. In this Comment, we show that their identification of the real resonances in the regime of small drive amplitude is incorrect.

Comment on "Integrability of the Rabi Model"

Using Hill's determinant method we show that the set of Judd's solutions is only a subset of all the eigenvalues with the form $E_n=nω-g^2/ω$ in the spectrum of the Rabi model. Therefore Braak's solution of the quantum Rabi model is not complete.

Rigorous description of exchange-correlation energy of many-electron systems

With the eigenfunctional theory, we study a general interacting electron system, and give a rigorous expression of its ground state energy which is composed of two parts, one part is contributed by the non-interacting electrons, and another one is represented by the correlation functions that are controlled by the electron correlation. Moreover, according to the rigorous expression of the ground state energy, an effective method beyond the local density approximation of the density functional theory is proposed.

Unified theory of quantum many-particle systems

Using eigen-functional bosonization method, we study quantum many-particle systems, and show that the quantum many-particle problems end in to solve the differential equation of the phase fields which represent the particle correlation strength. Thus, the physical properties of these systems are completely determined by the differential equation of the phase fields. We mainly focus on the study of D-dimensional electron gas with/without transverse gauge fields, two-dimensional electron gas under an external magnetic field, D-dimensional boson systems, a D-dimensional Heisenberg model and a one-band Hubbard model on a square lattice, and give their exact (accurate for Heisenberg model) functional expressions of the ground state energy and action, and the eigen-functional wave functions of the fermions/bosons. With them, we can calculate a variety of correlation functions of the systems, such as single particle Green's functions and their ground state wave functions. In present theoretical framework, we can unifiably represent the Landau Fermi liquid, non-Fermi liquid ($D\geq 2$) and Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid.

Exact expression of the ground state energy of quantum many-particle systems as a functional of the particle density

By introducing a phase field and solving the eigen-functional equation of particles, we obtain the exact expressions of the ground state energy as a functional of the particle density for interacting electron/boson systems, and a two-dimensional electron gas under an external magnetic field, respectively. With the eigen-functionals of the particles, we can construct the ground state wave-function of the systems. Moreover, with the expressions of the ground state energy, we can exactly determine the ground state energy and the ground state particle density of the systems by taking $% δE_g[ρ]/δρ(x)=0$.

Influence of gauge fluctuations on fermion pairing order parameter

Using a prototype model, we study the influence of gauge fluctuations on fermion pairing order parameter which has the gauge symmetry, and demonstrate that the gauge fluctuations can destroy the long range order of the fermion pairing order parameter, and make it only have short range correlation. If this parameter is a superconducting order parameter, we show that the Meissner effect of the system keeps intact, and the system is in the superconducting state even though the long range order of the superconducting order parameter is destroied by the gauge fluctuations. Our calculations support that the pseudo-gap region of the high Tc cuprate superconductivity is a spin pseudo-gap region rather than an electron pre-paired region.

Unified thoery of strongly correlated electron systems

In framework of eigen-functional bosonization method, we introduce an imaginary phase field to uniquely represent electron correlation, and demonstrate that the Landau Fermi liquid theory and the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid theory can be unified. It is very clear in this framework that the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid behavior of one-dimensional interacting electron gases originates from their Fermi structure, and the non-Landau-Fermi liquid behavior of 2D interacting electron gases is induced by the long-range electron interaction, while 3D interacting electron gases generally show the Landau Fermi liquid behavior.

Eigen-functional bosonization and Eikonal-type equations in one-dimensional strongly correlated electron system

With the eigen-functional bosonization method, we study one-dimensional strongly correlated electron systems with large momentum ($2k_{F}$ and/or $4k_{F}$) transfer term(s), and demonstrate that this kind of problems ends in to solve the Eikonal-type equations, and these equations are universal, and independent of whether or not the system is integrable. In contrast to usual perturbation theory, this method is valid not only for weak electron interaction, but also for strong electron interaction. Comparing with exact solution of some integrable models, it can give correct results in one-loop approximation. This method can also be used to study electron-phonon interaction systems, and two coupled spin chain or quantum wire systems.

Furthermore, the evolution of the system from ultraviolet to infrared critical fixed points appears naturally our method.

Universal Behavior of Quantum Impurity Scattering in Tomonaga-Luttinger Liquid

Using bosonization and path integral methods, we study general low temperature behavior of non-magnetic and magnetic impurity scattering in Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid, and calculate electron Green function for a general backward scattering potential. We demonstrate that electron density of state near the impurity site is suppressed by the backward scattering, but it mainly remains invariant as far away from the impurity, and at zero temperature the electrons are completely reflected on the impurity site, the system breaks into two subsystems but right- and left-moving electron fields have a twisted boundary condition. We also show that a testing charge can only be partially screened by conduction electrons, and in strong interaction region the impurity susceptibility has a 1/T-type low temperature behavior.

Using the bosonization method, we study the low temperature behavior of the Kondo effect in the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid and clearly show that the power law temperature dependence of the impurity susceptibility is completely determined by the repulsive electron-electron interaction existing in the total spin channel and is independent of the electron-electron interaction existing in the charge channels.

Conductance of a Finite Quantum Wire Connected to Reservoirs

We study a finite quantum wire connected to external leads, and show that the conductance of the system significantly depends upon the length of the quantum wire and the position of the impurity in it. For a very long quantum wire and the impurity far away from its two ends, the conductance has the same behavior as that for an infinity quantum wire above some very little energy scale. However, for a very short quantum wire, the conductance is independent of the electron-electron interactions in it and closing to $e^{2}/(2π\hbar)$ in a higher temperature range. While, in a lower temperature range, the conductance shows the same property as that for an infinity quantum wire.
