1 Quantum Phase Transitions in Fermi Liquids in d=1 and higher dimensions Mihir Khadilkar Kyungmin Lee Shivam Ghosh PHYS 7653 December 2, 2010
2 Outline 1 Introduction 2 d = 1: Mean field vs RG Model 3 Higher Dimensions d = 2 Circular Fermi Surface Other Fermi Surfaces 4 Conclusions
3 Revision Last time Mihir talked about what is a Fermi liquid Replace interacting electron system by weakly interacting quasiparticles Renormalize interactions between quasiparticles Kyungmin did the calculations for complex scalar field We will now talk about a real system
4 What are spinless fermions? Fermions, but no spin-spin interaction in the Hamiltonian Exclusion principle still applies Can think of it as electrons in a very high external field The instabilities of the Fermi liquid are due to the features of the Fermi surface Actual instabilities are different but crucial feature will turn out to be the surface itself

6 Model d = 1: Mean field vs RG
7 Model The Model H = H 0 + H I = 1 2 X j X + U 0 (n j with n j = y (j) (j) j y (j + 1) (j) + y (j) (j + 1) 1 2 )(n j+1 and f y (j); (m)g = mj 1 2 ) We will work at half filling For spinless fermions, this means 1 2 particle per site
8 Model The Model H = H 0 + H I = 1 2 X j X + U 0 (n j with n j = y (j) (j) j y (j + 1) (j) + y (j) (j + 1) 1 2 )(n j+1 and f y (j); (m)g = mj 1 2 ) We will work at half filling For spinless fermions, this means 1 2 particle per site
9 Model In the limit U0 = 0 H = H 0 Taking Fourier transform and solving, Z dk y H 0 = (K) (K)E(K) 2 E(K) = cos K Fermi surface consists of two points Π Π 2 Π 2 Π K F = =2
10 Model In the limit U0! 1 X H = H I = U 0 (n j j 1 2 )(n j ) Only nearest neighbour repulsion Ground state when there are no nearest neighbours Alternate sites occupied Charge density wave ordering (CDW): hn j i = ( 1)j 1 2
11 Model 1
12 Model Mean Field Result, n j = hn j i How does depend upon U 0? = U 0 e 2U 0 This is non-zero for all non-zero U 0 This suggests that we will get CDW at arbitrarily small U 0 Similar result for arbitrarily small negative U 0 Cooper pair formation leads to superconductivity
13 Model Mean Field Result, n j = hn j i How does depend upon U 0? = U 0 e 2U 0 This is non-zero for all non-zero U 0 This suggests that we will get CDW at arbitrarily small U 0 Similar result for arbitrarily small negative U 0 Cooper pair formation leads to superconductivity
14 Model THIS IS WRONG
15 Model The Answer The system forms a Luttinger liquid Some of the differences from Fermi liquid: Excitations are not quasiparticles, but collective excitations of charge and spin (spinons and holons) Non-universal critical exponents depending on Luttinger liquid exponent Depends upon interaction strength This can be thought of as a system having a line of fixed points No flow along this line

S 0 = i (!; k)(i! k) i (!; k) 2 i=l;r 1 2 Compare with the complex scalar action: Z S 2 = d d x (R 0 j(x)j 2 + R 2 jrj 2 ) which when Fourier transformed, gives: S 2 = Z jkj< d d k (2) d (r 0 + r 2 k 2 ) (k)(k)
26 Partition function and free field action Z 0 = Z Y Y d i(!; k)d i (!; k)e S0 i=l;r jkj< X Z Z dk 1 d!

27 Rescaling and renormalization We want to integrate out all the "fast" modes ( =s jkj ) Since S 0 is quadratic, slow and fast modes separate Coarse-graining reduces! =s To get back original action, k 0 = sk! 0 = s! 0 i (k0 ;! 0 ) = s 3=2 i(k;!) We can now consider perturbations to this fixed point action

32 Order-u level Analysis At the order-u level, only tree-level and tadpole diagrams survive Tree-level Simple change in cutoff, leading to renormalized coupling u 0 (k 0 ;! 0 ) = u(k;!) Thus, we get that only the constant term u 0 is marginal; rest irrelevant Tadpole As before the tadpole graph graph renormalizes the quadratic coupling d = u0 d` 2 TADPOLE TREE LEVEL

35 ZS ZS 1 2 BCS
36 Order-u 2 Analysis We must consider the three graphs, ZS, ZS and BCS On doing the integrals, we see that du = 0 d` ZS du ZS0 = u2 d` du d` = BCS Thus, we get the flow equation du d` = 0 2 u 2 2
37 Order-u 2 Analysis We must consider the three graphs, ZS, ZS and BCS On doing the integrals, we see that du = 0 d` ZS du ZS0 = u2 d` du d` = BCS Thus, we get the flow equation du d` = 0 2 u 2 2
38 So... du d` = 0 ; d d` = u 0 2 Interaction strength does not flow Quadratic coupling gives change in chemical potential Kept constant to keep number density of particles constant Luttinger liquid
39 Higher Dimensions
40 d = 2 Circular Fermi Surface d = 2 Now you have a Fermi surface instead of a discrete number of points We must integrate over all of these directions In 1-d, we had u LRLR Now we have u[ 4 ; 3 ; 2 ; 1 ] in 2-d But only two angles are independent Two distinct cases: u[ 2 ; 1 ; 2 ; 1 ] = F ( 1 ; 2 ) and u[ 3 ; 3 ; 1 ; 1 ] = V ( 1 ; 3 )

44 Other Fermi Surfaces Other Fermi Surfaces For 3D spherical Fermi surface, same result For non-circular Fermi surfaces, result depends on whether there is time-reversal invariance Nested Fermi surfaces are special New coupling constant W flows to CDW state
