Spectral Properties near the Mott Transition in the One-Dimensional Hubbard Model
Single-particle spectral properties near the Mott transition in the
one-dimensional Hubbard model are investigated by using the dynamical
density-matrix renormalization group method and the Bethe ansatz. The
pseudogap, hole-pocket behavior, spectral-weight transfer, and upper Hubbard
band are explained in terms of spinons, holons, antiholons, and doublons. The
Mott transition is characterized by the emergence of a gapless mode whose
dispersion relation extends up to the order of hopping t (spin exchange J) in
the weak (strong) interaction regime caused by infinitesimal doping.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
On the metal-insulator transition in the two-chain model of correlated fermions
The doping-induced metal-insulator transition in two-chain systems of
correlated fermions is studied using a solvable limit of the t-J model and the
fact that various strong- and weak-coupling limits of the two-chain model are
in the same phase, i.e. have the same low-energy properties. It is shown that
the Luttinger-liquid parameter K_\rho takes the universal value unity as the
insulating state (half-filling) is approached, implying dominant d-type
superconducting fluctuations, independently of the interaction strength. The
crossover to insulating behavior of correlations as the transition is
approached is discussed.Comment: 7 pages, 1 figur
Wigner Crystal in One Dimension
A one--dimensional gas of electrons interacting with long--range Coulomb
forces () is investigated. The excitation spectrum consists
of separate collective charge and spin modes, with the charge excitation
energies in agreement with RPA calculations. For arbitrarily weak Coulomb
repulsion density correlations at wavevector decay extremely slowly and
are best described as those of a one--dimensional Wigner crystal. Pinning of
the Wigner crystal then leads to the nonlinear transport properties
characteristic of CDW. The results allow a consistent interpretation of the
plasmon and spin excitations observed in one--dimensional semiconductor
structures, and suggest an interpretation of some of the observed features in
terms of ``spinons''. A possible explanation for nonlinear transport phenomena
is given.Comment: 10 pages, RevTe
Human complement factor H
We isolated cDNA clones coding for the functionally important tryptic N-terminal38-
kDa fragment of human complement control protein factor H using polyclonal and
monoclonal antibodies to screen a human liver cDNA library cloned in a bacterial
expression vector, PEX-1. By testing the reactivity of antibodies specific for the
recombinant proteins produced by individual clones with proteolytic fragments of
serum H the exact position of these cDNA clones within H was mapped. One clone,
H-19, coding for the 38-kDa fragment of H was sequenced and found to code for 289
amino acids derived from the 38-kDa N-terminal fragment as well as for the first 108
amino acids belonging to the complementary 142-kDa tryptic fragment. The derived
protein sequence could be arranged in 6 highly homologous repeats of about 60 amino
acids each, the homology between the repeats being determined by the characteristic
position of cysteine, proline, glycine, tyrosine and tryptophane residues. The region
coding for the epitope recognized by one of our monoclonal antibodies was localized
by subcloning restriction fragments of H-19 into the expression plasmid and testing
for the expression of this epitope
Weakly correlated electrons on a square lattice: a renormalization group theory
We study the weakly interacting Hubbard model on the square lattice using a
one-loop renormalization group approach. The transition temperature T_c between
the metallic and (nearly) ordered states is found. In the parquet regime, (T_c
>> |mu|), the dominant correlations at temperatures below T_c are
antiferromagnetic while in the BCS regime (T_c << |mu|) at T_c the d-wave
singlet pairing susceptibility is most divergent.Comment: 12 pages, REVTEX, 3 figures included, submitted to Phys. Rev. Let
Boundary S matrices for the open Hubbard chain with boundary fields
Using the method introduced by Grisaru et al., boundary S matrices for the
physical excitations of the open Hubbard chain with boundary fields are
studied. In contrast to the open supersymmetric t-J model, the boundary S
matrix for the charge excitations depend on the boundary fields though the
boundary fields do not break the spin-SU(2) symmetry.Comment: Latex,12 page
A possible phase diagram of a t-J ladder model
We investigate a t-J ladder model by numerical diagonalization method. By
calculating correlation functions and assuming the Luttinger liquid relation,
we obtained a possible phase diagram of the ground state as a function of J/t
and electron density . We also found that behavior of correlation functions
seems to consist with the prediction of Luttinger liquid relation. The result
suggests that the superconducting phase appear in the region of for high electron density and for low electron density.Comment: Latex, 10 pages, figures available upon reques
Na2V3O7, a frustrated nanotubular system with spin-1/2 diamond rings
Following the recent discussion on the puzzling nature of the interactions in
the nanotubular system Na2V3O7, we present a detailed ab-initio microscopic
analysis of its electronic and magnetic properties. By means of a non-trivial
downfolding study we propose an effective model in terms of tubes of nine-site
rings with the geometry of a spin-diamond necklace with frustrated inter-ring
interactions. We show that this model provides a quantitative account of the
observed magnetic behavior.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures. Phys. Rev. Lett. (in press
Open t-J chain with boundary impurities
We study integrable boundary conditions for the supersymmetric t-J model of
correlated electrons which arise when combining static scattering potentials
with dynamical impurities carrying an internal degree of freedom. The latter
differ from the bulk sites by allowing for double occupation of the local
orbitals. The spectrum of the resulting Hamiltonians is obtained by means of
the algebraic Bethe Ansatz.Comment: LaTeX2e, 9p
