Wigner crystal vs. Friedel oscillations in the 1D Hubbard model
We analyze the fermion density of the one-dimensional Hubbard model using
bosonization and numerical DMRG calculations. For finite systems we find a
relatively sharp crossover even for moderate short range interactions into a
region with density waves as a function of density. The results show
that the unstable fixed point of a spin-incoherent state can dominate the
physical behavior in a large region of parameter space in finite systems. The
crossover may be observable in ultra cold fermionic gases in optical lattices
and in finite quantum wires.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figures. Published version. The most recent file can be

Low-energy local density of states of the 1D Hubbard model
We examine the local density of states (DOS) at low energies numerically and
analytically for the Hubbard model in one dimension. The eigenstates represent
separate spin and charge excitations with a remarkably rich structure of the
local DOS in space and energy. The results predict signatures of strongly
correlated excitations in the tunneling probability along finite quantum wires,
such as carbon nanotubes, atomic chains or semiconductor wires in scanning
tunneling spectroscopy (STS) experiments. However, the detailed signatures can
only be partly explained by standard Luttinger liquid theory. In particular, we
find that the effective boundary exponent can be negative in finite wires,
which leads to an increase of the local DOS near the edges in contrast to the
established behavior in the thermodynamic limit.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, more information can be found at
