Collision of one-dimensional fermion clusters

We study cluster-cluster collisions in one-dimensional Fermi systems with particular emphasis on the non-trivial quantum effects of the collision dynamics. We adopt the Fermi-Hubbard model and the time-dependent density matrix renormalization group method to simulate collision dynamics between two fermion clusters of different spin states with contact interaction. It is elucidated that the quantum effects become extremely strong with the interaction strength, leading to the transmittance much more enhanced than expected from semiclassical approximation. We propose a concise model based on one-to-one collisions, which unveils the origin of the quantum effects and also explains the overall properties of the simulation results clearly. Our concise model can quite widely describe the one-dimensional collision dynamics with contact interaction. Some potential applications, such as repeated collisions, are addressed.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure

Renormalized Harmonic-Oscillator Description of Confined Electron Systems with Inverse-Square Interaction

An integrable model for SU($\nu$) electrons with inverse-square interaction is studied for the system with confining harmonic potential. We develop a new description of the spectrum based on the {\it renormalized harmonic-oscillators} which incorporate interaction effects via the repulsion of energy levels. This approach enables a systematic treatment of the excitation spectrum as well as the ground-state quantities.Comment: RevTex, 7 page

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

Anomalous magnetic properties near Mott transition in Kagom\'e lattice Hubbard model

We investigate the characteristics of the metallic phase near the Mott transition in the Kagom\'e lattice Hubbard model using the cellular dynamical mean field theory. By calculating the specific heat and spin correlation functions, we demonstrate that the quasiparticles show anomalous properties in the metallic phase close to the Mott transition. We find clear evidence for the multi-band heavy quasiparticles in the specific heat, which gives rise to unusual temperature dependence of the spin correlation functions.Comment: 2 pages, 3 figures, accepted for publication in J.
