We study, via computer simulations, the fluctuations in the net electric charge, in a two dimensional one component plasma (OCP) with uniform background charge density $-e rho$, in a region $Lambda$ inside a much larger overall neutral system. Setting $e=1$ this is the same as the fluctuations in $N_Lambda$, the number of mobile particles of charge $e$. As expected the distribution of $ N_Lambda$ has, for large $Lambda$, a Gaussian form with a variance which grows only as $hat kappa |partial Lambda|$, where $|partial Lambda|$ is the length of the perimeter of $Lambda$. The properties of this system depend only on the coupling parameter $Gamma = kT$ which is the same as the reciprocal temperature in our units. Our simulations show that when the coupling parameter $Gamma$ increases, $hat kappa(Gamma)$ decreases to an asymptotic value $hat kappa(infty) sim hat kappa(2)/2$ which is equal (or very close) to that obtained for the corresponding variance of particles on a rigid triangular lattice. Thus, for large $Gamma$, the characteristic length $xi_L = 2hat kappa/rho$ associated with charge fluctuations behaves very differently from that of the Debye length, $xi_D sim 1/sqrt Gamma$, which it approaches as $Gamma to 0$. The pair correlation function of the OCP is also studied.
In this paper, we study the probability distribution of the observable $s = (1/N)sum_{i=N-N+1}^N x_i$, with $1 leq N leq N$ and $x_1<x_2<cdots< x_N$ representing the ordered positions of $N$ particles in a $1d$ one-component plasma, i.e., $N$ harmonically confined charges on a line, with pairwise repulsive $1d$ Coulomb interaction $|x_i-x_j|$. This observable represents an example of a truncated linear statistics -- here the center of mass of the $N = kappa , N$ (with $0 < kappa leq 1$) rightmost particles. It interpolates between the position of the rightmost particle (in the limit $kappa to 0$) and the full center of mass (in the limit $kappa to 1$). We show that, for large $N$, $s$ fluctuates around its mean $langle s rangle$ and the typical fluctuations are Gaussian, of width $O(N^{-3/2})$. The atypical large fluctuations of $s$, for fixed $kappa$, are instead described by a large deviation form ${cal P}_{N, kappa}(s)simeq exp{left[-N^3 phi_kappa(s)right]}$, where the rate function $phi_kappa(s)$ is computed analytically. We show that $phi_{kappa}(s)$ takes different functional forms in five distinct regions in the $(kappa,s)$ plane separated by phase boundaries, thus leading to a rich phase diagram in the $(kappa,s)$ plane. Across all the phase boundaries the rate function $phi(kappa,s)$ undergoes a third-order phase transition. This rate function is also evaluated numerically using a sophisticated importance sampling method, and we find a perfect agreement with our analytical predictions.
We determine exactly the short-distance effective potential between two guest charges immersed in a two-dimensional two-component charge-asymmetric plasma composed of positively ($q_1 = +1$) and negatively ($q_2 = -1/2$) charged point particles. The result is valid over the whole regime of stability, where the Coulombic coupling (dimensionless inverse temperature) $beta <4$. At high Coulombic coupling $beta>2$, this model features like-charge attraction. Also, there cannot be repulsion between opposite-charges at short-distances, at variance with large-distance interactions.
Lee-Huang-Yang (LHY) fluids are an exotic quantum matter emerged in a Bose-Bose mixture where the mean-field interactions, interspecies attraction $(g_{12})$ and intraspecies repulsive $(g_{11}, g_{22})$, are tuned to cancel completely when $g_{12}=-sqrt{g_{11}g_{22}}$ and atom number $N_2=sqrt{g_{11}/g_{22}}N_1$, and as such the fluids are purely dominated by beyond mean-field (quantum many-body) effect -- quantum fluctuations.Three-dimensional LHY fluids were proposed in 2018 and demonstrated by the same group from Denmark in recent ultracold atoms experiments [T. G. Skov,et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 126, 230404], while their low-dimensional counterparts remain mysterious even in theory. Herein, we derive the Gross-Pitaevskii equation of one-dimensional LHY quantum fluids in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates, and reveal the formation, properties, and dynamics of matter-wave structures therein. An exact solution is found for fundamental LHY fluids. Considering a harmonic trap, approximate analytical results are obtained based on variational approximation, and higher-order nonlinear localized modes with nonzero nodes $Bbbk=1$ and $2$ are constructed numerically. Stability regions of all the LHY nonlinear localized modes are identified by linear-stability analysis and direct perturbed numerical simulations. Movements and oscillations of single localized mode, and collisions between two modes, under the influence of different incident momenta are also studied in dynamical evolutions. The predicted results are available to quantum-gas experiments, providing a new insight into LHY physics in low-dimensional settings.
We report comprehensive Raman and infrared investigations of charge-order (CO) fluctuations in the organic metal $beta^{primeprime}$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$SF$_5$CHFSO$_3$ and superconductor $beta^{primeprime}$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$SF$_5$CH$_2$CF$_2$SO$_3$. The charge-sensitive vibrational bands have been analyzed through an extension of the well-known Kubo model for the spectral signatures of an equilibrium between two states. At room temperature, both salts exhibit charge fluctuations between two differently charged molecular states with an exchange frequency of about $6times10^{11} {rm s}^{-1}$. The exchange rate of the metallic salt remains roughly constant down to 10 K, while in the superconductor the exchange velocity starts to decrease below 200 K, and a frozen charge-ordered state emerges, and coexists with the charge-order fluctuation state down to the superconducting temperature. These findings are confronted with other existing spectroscopic experiments, and a tentative phase diagram is proposed for the $beta^{primeprime}$ BEDT-TTF quarter-filled salts.
In the present paper one-dimensional two-component atomic Fermi gas is considered in long-wave limit as a Luttinger liquid. The mechanisms leading to instability of the non-Fermi-liquid state of a Luttinger liquid with two-level impurities are proposed. Since exchange scattering in 1D systems is two-channel scattering in a certain range of parameters, several types of non-Fermi-liquid excitations with different quantum numbers exist in the vicinity of the Fermi level. These excitations include, first, charge density fluctuations in the Luttinger liquid and, second, many-particle excitations due to two-channel exchange interaction, which are associated with band-type as well as impurity fermion states. It is shown that mutual scattering of many-particle excitations of various types leads to the emergence of an additional Fermi-liquid singularity in the vicinity of the Fermi level. The conditions under which the Fermi-liquid state with a new energy scale (which is much smaller than the Kondo temperature) is the ground state of the system are formulated.
