Reaction-controlled diffusion
The dynamics of a coupled two-component nonequilibrium system is examined by
means of continuum field theory representing the corresponding master equation.
Particles of species A may perform hopping processes only when particles of
different type B are present in their environment. Species B is subject to
diffusion-limited reactions. If the density of B particles attains a finite
asymptotic value (active state), the A species displays normal diffusion. On
the other hand, if the B density decays algebraically ~t^{-a} at long times
(inactive state), the effective attractive A-B interaction is weakened. The
combination of B decay and activated A hopping processes gives rise to
anomalous diffusion, with mean-square displacement ~ t^{1-a} for a
< 1. Such algebraic subdiffusive behavior ensues for n-th order B annihilation
reactions (n B -> 0) with n >=3, and n = 2 for d < 2. The mean-square
displacement of the A particles grows only logarithmically with time in the
case of B pair annihilation (n = 2) and d >= 2 dimensions. For radioactive B
decay (n = 1), the A particles remain localized. If the A particles may hop
spontaneously as well, or if additional random forces are present, the A-B
coupling becomes irrelevant, and conventional diffusion is recovered in the
long-time limit.Comment: 7 pages, revtex, no figures; latest revised versio
Low energy and dynamical properties of a single hole in the t-Jz model
We review in details a recently proposed technique to extract information
about dynamical correlation functions of many-body hamiltonians with a few
Lanczos iterations and without the limitation of finite size. We apply this
technique to understand the low energy properties and the dynamical spectral
weight of a simple model describing the motion of a single hole in a quantum
antiferromagnet: the model in two spatial dimension and for a double
chain lattice. The simplicity of the model allows us a well controlled
numerical solution, especially for the two chain case. Contrary to previous
approximations we have found that the single hole ground state in the infinite
system is continuously connected with the Nagaoka fully polarized state for
. Analogously we have obtained an accurate determination of the
dynamical spectral weight relevant for photoemission experiments. For
an argument is given that the spectral weight vanishes at the Nagaoka energy
faster than any power law, as supported also by a clear numerical evidence. It
is also shown that spin charge decoupling is an exact property for a single
hole in the Bethe lattice but does not apply to the more realistic lattices
where the hole can describe closed loop paths.Comment: RevTex 3.0, 40 pages + 16 Figures in one file self-extracting, to

Berry phases and pairing symmetry in Holstein-Hubbard polaron systems
We study the tunneling dynamics of dopant-induced hole polarons which are
self-localized by electron-phonon coupling in a two-dimensional antiferro-
magnet. Our treatment is based on a path integral formulation of the adia-
batic approximation, combined with many-body tight-binding, instanton, con-
strained lattice dynamics, and many-body exact diagonalization techniques. Our
results are mainly based on the Holstein- and, for comparison, on the
Holstein-Hubbard model. We also study effects of 2nd neighbor hopping and
long-range electron-electron Coulomb repulsion. The polaron tunneling dynamics
is mapped onto an effective low-energy Hamiltonian which takes the form of a
fermion tight-binding model with occupancy dependent, predominant- ly 2nd and
3rd neighbor tunneling matrix elements, excluded double occupan- cy, and an
effective intersite charge interactions. Antiferromagnetic spin correlations in
the original many-electron Hamiltonian are reflected by an attractive
contribution to the 1st neighbor charge interaction and by Berry phase factors
which determine the signs of effective polaron tunneling ma- trix elements. In
the two-polaron case, these phase factors lead to polaron pair wave functions
of either -wave symmetry or p-wave symme- try with zero and
nonzero total pair momentum, respectively. Implications for the doping
dependent isotope effect, pseudo-gap and Tc of a superconduc- ting polaron pair
condensate are discussed/compared to observed in cuprates.Comment: 23 pages, revtex, 13 ps figure
