Gapped spin liquid states in a one-dimensional Hubbard model with antiferromagnetic exchange interaction

We study the phase diagram of a one-dimensional extended Hubbard model with antiferromagnetic exchange interaction analytically and numerically. The bosonization and transfer-matrix renormalization group methods are used in the corresponding coupling regimes. At half-filling, the system is a Mott insulator with a finite spin excitation gap if the on-site Coulomb repulsion is fairly smaller than the antiferromagnetic exchange J. This Mott-insulator is characterized by the bond-charge-density-wave order or spontaneously dimerization. In the weak-coupling regime where the spin-charge separation holds approximately, the critical point separating the gapless and gapped spin liquid phases is U_c\sim J/2. However, as J increases, the spin-charge couplings become important and the critical point U_c is significantly suppressed and eventually tends to zero as J\to \infty. Away from half-filling, the charge gap completely collapses but the spin gap persists.

Temperature dependence of the conductivity of the electronic crystal

We study the temperature dependence of the conductivity of the 2D electronic solid. In realistic samples, a domain structure forms in the solid and each domain randomly orients in the absence of the in-plane field. At higher temperature, the electron transport is governed by thermal activation form of $σ_{xx}(T)\propto e^{-Δ_0/k_BT}$. The impurities will localize the electron states along the edges of the crystal domains. At sufficient low temperature, another transport mechanism called Mott's variable range hopping mechanism, similar to that in a disorder insulator takes effect. We show that as the temperature decreases, a crossover from the fixed range hopping of the transport to the variable range hopping of transport in the 2D electron system may be experimentally observed.

Density-induced reorientation of the stripe at half-filled high Landau levels

The effect of a unidirectional periodic potential on the orientation of the stripe state is studied for the two-dimensional electron system at half-filled high Landau levels. By considering a quantum well with two electric subbands, it is found that the stripe is parallel to the external potential for weak modulation and is orthogonal for strong modulation. In the intermediate range, the orientation of the stripe changes from orthogonal to parallel as the electron density is increased. This result explains the recent experiment performed by J. Zhu {\it et al} that the anisotropy axis at half-filled high Landau levels rotates by $90^0$ by increasing the electron density. It also supports the suggestion that the stripes is pinned by the native surface morphology at the interface of the heterojunction.

Luttinger liquid with strong spin-orbital coupling and Zeeman splitting in quantum wires

We study a one-dimensional interacting electron gas with the strong Rashba spin-orbit coupling and Zeeman splitting in a quantum well. A bosonization theory is developed for this system. The tunneling current may deviate from a simple power law which is that in an ordinary Luttinger liquid. The microscopic interacting coupling and the spin-orbital parameter may be measured by varying the external magnetic field in the tunneling experiment.

Time-evolution stability of order parameters and phase diagrams of bosons on optical lattice

Stemming from the Heisenberg equations of motion, we study the time-evolution stability of the order parameters for the cold atoms on optical lattices. The requirement of this stability of the order parameters endows the phase diagram with a fruitful structure in the superfluid phase. For the one-component Bose-Hubbard model, we see that this stability of order parameter leads to a physically receivable phase diagram. For two-component bosons, we show that the molecules are preformed in the atomic superfluid and then condenses into a molecular superfluid phase at a critical repulsive inter-species interaction, which resembles the pre-pairing mechanism in high $T_c$ superconductor of Cu-O cuprates.

Comments on `Rashba precession in quantum wire with interaction'

In a recent Rapid Communication (Phys. Rev. B {\bf 63}, 121210(R) (2001)), Haüsler showed that the interaction between electrons in quantum wires may enhance the persistent spin current arising from Rashba spin-orbital coupling. In this Comments, we would like to point out that this 'enhancement' comes from a misunderstanding to the boosting persistent current in the Luttinger liquid theory. A correct calculation will not give such an enhancement of the persistent spin current. Meanwhile, we provide a Luttinger liquid theory with Rashba spin-orbital interaction by bosonization, which may show how the Rashba precession is in a Luttinger liquid.

Co-ordination between Rashba spin-orbital interaction and space charge effect and enhanced spin injection into semiconductors

We consider the effect of the Rashba spin-orbital interaction and space charge in a ferromagnet-insulator/semiconductor/insulator-ferromagnet junction where the spin current is severely affected by the doping, band structure and charge screening in the semiconductor. In diffusion region, if the the resistance of the tunneling barriers is comparable to the semiconductor resistance, the magnetoresistance of this junction can be greatly enhanced under appropriate doping by the co-ordination between the Rashba effect and screened Coulomb interaction in the nonequilibrium transport processes within Hartree approximation.

Electron space charge effect on spin injection into semiconductors

We consider spin polarized transport in a ferromagnet-insulator/semiconductor/insulator-ferromagnet (F1-I-S-I-F2) junction. We find that the spin current is strongly dependent on the spin configurations, the doping and space charge distribution in the semiconductor. When the ferromagnet-semiconductor interface resistance is comparable to the semiconductor resistance, the magnetoresistance ratio of this junction can be greatly enhanced under appropriate doping when the space charge effect in the nonequilibrium transport processes is taken into consideration.

From Hubbard model to t-J-U model: a canonical transformation formalism, the metal-insulator transition and mean-field state

We prove that the t-J-U model can be deduced from the Hubbard model at a large but finite U by a canonical transformation. We argue that the system may have a metal-insulator transition at a critical on-site Coulomb interaction whose value, however, is smaller than that in previous calculations in which the kinetic energy has a double counting. In a mean field theory and a special choice of the parameters, we show that the metallic state may be equivalent to the gossamer superconducting state proposed by Laughlin recently.

Effect of Subband Landau Level Coupling to the Linearly Dispersing Collective Mode in a Quantum Hall Ferromagnet

In a recent experiment (Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 87}, 036903 (2001)), Spielman et al observed a linearly dispersing collective mode in quantum Hall ferromagnet. While it qualitatively agrees with the Goldstone mode dispersion at small wave vector, the experimental mode velocity is slower than that calculated by previous theories by a factor about 0.55. A better agreement with the experimental data may possibly be achieved by taking the subband Landau level coupling into account due to the finiteness of the layer thickness. A novel coupling of quantum fluctuation to the tunneling is briefly discussed.

A Novel Meron-induced Pseudospin Wave in Bilayer Quantum Hall Coherent State and the Residual Zero-bias Peak in Tunneling Conductance

In the bilayer quantum Hall coherent state for $ν_T$ deviating slightly from one, we show that, instead of the global order parameter, the spontaneous breaking of the pseudospin U(1) rotational symmetry is reflected by the periodic domain structure accompanying with the charged meron pairs. The motion of meron pairs induces a novel pseudospin wave. The long range order of the periodic domains in a low bias voltage range leads to the residual zero-bias peak in the tunneling conductance even when the pseudopsin Goldstone feature in a high bias voltage range can be distinct from it.

Lauglin-type wavefunction of two-dimensional electrons in the tilted magnetic field

We study the fractional quantum Hall states in the tilted magnetic field. A many-particle wavefunction of the ground state, which is similar to that of Laughlin's, is constructed in the Landau gauge. We show that in the limit of thermodynamics, the concept of composite fermion is still valid in presence of the in-plane field.

The Effect of the Tilted Field in the Fractional Quantum Hall Systems: Numerical Studies for the Solid-liquid Transition

We construct a generalized Laughlin-liquid wave function and a variational electron solid wave function when the magnetic field is tilted. The energy of the liquid state is evaluated by Monte Carlo methods while the energy of the solid state is calculated by the optimization. Comparing these two energies for a given tilted angle $θ$, it is seen that the critical filling factor $ν_c$ of $θ$ of the solid-liquid transition increases as the tilted angle. The implication to the experiment is that: i) the insulating phase may harder be melt as $ν\to 1/5$ such that the width of the valley of the longitudinal resistance may become narrow as the filed is tilted; ii) it is expected that even in the vicinity of $ν=1/3$ for the electron system in the presence of the tilted field, the insulating phase may be observed.

Paired Hall States versus Unidirectional CDW in Tilted Field for $ν={5/2}$

We formulate the composite fermions in the presence of an in-plane magnetic field. As the in-plane field increases, if we assume the state at $ν=5/2$ turns into the mixed state between the unidirectional charge density wave domains and paired Hall state, we can phenomenologically fit the theoretically defined gap to the experimental measured results. We explain the destruction of the paired Hall states and then a phase transition from the paired Hall state to the unidirectional charge density wave from a symmetry point of view.

Possible composite-fermion liquid as a crossover from Wigner crystal to bubble phase in higher Landau level

The ground state cohesive energies per electron of the composite fermion (CF) Fermi sea, the Laughlin state and the charge density wave (CDW) at higher Landau levels (LLs) are computed. It is shown that whereas for $n\geq 2$ LL, the CDW state is generally more energetically preferable than those of the CF liquid and the Laughlin liquid, the $ν=4+1/6$ CF liquid state unexpectedly has lower ground state energy than that of the CDW state. We suggest this CF liquid between the Wigner crystal and the bubble phase may lead to the crossover from the normal integer quantum Hall liquid to the novel re-entrant integer quantum Hall state observed in the recent magneto-transport experiments.

The role of Berry phase in the spectrum of order parameter dynamics: a new perspective on Haldane's conjecture on antiferromagnetic spin chains

We formulate the dynamics of local order parameters by extending the recently developed adiabatic spinwave theory involving the Berry curvature, and derive a formula showing explicitly the role of the Berry phase in determining the spectral form of the low-lying collective modes. For antiferromagnetic spin chains, the Berry phase becomes a topological invariant known as the Chern number. Our theory predicts the existence of the Haldane gap for a topologically trivial ground state, and a linear dispersion of low-lying excitations for a non-trivial ground state.

Characterization of One-Dimensional Luttinger Liquids in Terms of Fractional Exclusion Statistics

We develop a bosonization approach to study the low temperature properties of one-dimensional gas of particles obeying fractional exclusion statistics (FES). It is shown that such ideal gas reproduces the low-energy excitations and asymptotic exponents of a one-component Luttinger liquid (with no internal degrees of freedom). The bosonized effective theory at low energy (or temperature) is identified to a $c=1$ conformal field theory (CFT) with compactified radius determined by the statistics parameter $λ$. Moreover, this CFT can be put into a form of the harmonic fluid description for Luttinger liquids, with the Haldane controlling parameter identified with the statistics parameter (of quasi-particle excitations). Thus we propose to use the latter to characterize the fixed points of 1-d Luttinger liquids. Such a characterization is further shown to be valid for generalized ideal gas of particles with mutual statistics in momentum space and for non-ideal gas with Luttinger-type interactions: In either case, the low temperature behavior is controlled by an effective statistics varying in a fixed-point line.
