GAPS IN THE HEISENBERG-ISING MODEL

We report on the closing of gaps in the ground state of the critical Heisenberg-Ising chain at momentum $\pi$. For half-filling, the gap closes at special values of the anisotropy $\Delta= \cos(\pi/Q)$, $Q$ integer. We explain this behavior with the help of the Bethe Ansatz and show that the gap scales as a power of the system size with variable exponent depending on $\Delta$. We use a finite-size analysis to calculate this exponent in the critical region, supplemented by perturbation theory at $\Delta\sim 0$. For rational $1/r$ fillings, the gap is shown to be closed for {\em all} values of $\Delta$ and the corresponding perturbation expansion in $\Delta$ shows a remarkable cancellation of various diagrams.Comment: 12 RevTeX pages + 4 figures upon reques

A Mean Field Analysis of One Dimensional Quantum Liquid with Long Range Interaction

Bi-local mean field theory is applied to one dimensional quantum liquid with long range $1/r^2$ interaction, which has exact ground state wave function. We obtain a mean field solution and an effective action which expresses a long range dynamics. Based on them the ground state energy and correlation functions are computed. The ground state energy agrees fairly well with the exact value and exponents have weaker coupling constant dependence than that of partly known exact value.Comment: EPHOU-93-002, 10 pages (LaTeX), 3 figures available upon request as hard cop

Partially Solvable Anisotropic t-J Model with Long-Range Interactions

A new anisotropic t-J model in one dimension is proposed which has long-range hopping and exchange. This t-J model is only partially solvable in contrast to known integrable models with long-range interaction. In the high-density limit the model reduces to the XXZ chain with the long-range exchange. Some exact eigenfunctions are shown to be of Jastrow-type if certain conditions for an anisotropy parameter are satisfied. The ground state as well as the excitation spectrum for various cases of the anisotropy parameter and filling are derived numerically. It is found that the Jastrow-type wave function is an excellent trial function for any value of the anisotropy parameter.Comment: 10 pages, 3 Postscript figure

Spectrum and Thermodynamics of the one-dimensional supersymmetric t-J model with 1/r21/r^2 exchange and hopping

We derive the spectrum and the thermodynamics of the one-dimensional supersymmetric t-J model with long range hopping and spin exchange using a set of maximal-spin eigenstates. This spectrum confirms the recent conjecture that the asymptotic Bethe-ansatz spectrum is exact. By empirical determining the spinon degeneracies of each state, we are able to explicitly construct the free energy.Comment: 13 pages, Latex, (published in PRB46, 6639 (1992)

Nonlocal effects in the shot noise of diffusive superconductor - normal-metal systems

A cross-shaped diffusive system with two superconducting and two normal electrodes is considered. A voltage $eV < \Delta$ is applied between the normal leads. Even in the absence of average current through the superconducting electrodes their presence increases the shot noise at the normal electrodes and doubles it in the case of a strong coupling to the superconductors. The nonequilibrium noise at the superconducting electrodes remains finite even in the case of a vanishingly small transport current due to the absence of energy transfer into the superconductors. This noise is suppressed by electron-electron scattering at sufficiently high voltages.Comment: 4 pages, RevTeX, 2 eps figure

Transport Properties of a One-Dimensional Two-Component Quantum Liquid with Hyperbolic Interactions

We present an investigation of the sinh-cosh (SC) interaction model with twisted boundary conditions. We argue that, when unlike particles repel, the SC model may be usefully viewed as a Heisenberg-Ising fluid with moving Heisenberg-Ising spins. We derive the Luttinger liquid relation for the stiffness and the susceptibility, both from conformal arguments, and directly from the integral equations. Finally, we investigate the opening and closing of the ground state gaps for both SC and Heisenberg-Ising models, as the interaction strength is varied.Comment: 10 REVTeX pages + 4 uuencoded figures, UoU-002029

A Note on Dressed S-Matrices in Models with Long-Range Interactions

The {\sl dressed} Scattering matrix describing scattering of quasiparticles in various models with long-range interactions is evaluated by means of Korepin's method\upref vek1/. For models with ${1\over\sin^2(r)}$-interactions the S-matrix is found to be a momentum-independent phase, which clearly demonstrates the ideal gas character of the quasiparticles in such models. We then determine S-matrices for some models with ${1\over\sinh^2(r)}$-interaction and find them to be in general nontrivial. For the ${1\over r^2}$-limit of the ${1\over\sinh^2(r)}$-interaction we recover trivial S-matrices, thus exhibiting a crossover from interacting to noninteracting quasiparticles. The relation of the S-matrix to fractional statistics is discussed.Comment: 18 pages, jyTeX (macro included - just TeX the file) BONN-TH-94-13, revised version: analysis of models with 1/sinh^2 interaction adde
