We introduce an assisted exchange model (AEM) on a one dimensional periodic lattice with (K+1) different species of hard core particles, where the exchange rate depends on the pair of particles which undergo exchange and their immediate left neighbor. We show that this stochastic process has a pair factorized steady state for a broad class of exchange dynamics. We calculate exactly the particle current and spatial correlations (K+1)-species AEM using a transfer matrix formalism. Interestingly the current in AEM exhibits density dependent current reversal and negative differential mobility- both of which have been discussed elaborately by using a two species exchange model which resembles the partially asymmetric conserved lattice gas model in one dimension. Moreover, multi-species version of AEM exhibits additional features like multiple points of current reversal, and unusual response of particle current.
We demonstrate that a large class of one-dimensional quantum and classical exchange models can be described by the same type of graphs, namely Cayley graphs of the permutation group. Their well-studied spectral properties allow us to derive crucial information about those models of fundamental importance in both classical and quantum physics, and to completely characterize their algebraic structure. Notably, we prove that the spectral gap can be obtained in polynomial computational time, which has strong implications in the context of adiabatic quantum computing with quantum spin-chains. This quantity also characterizes the rate to stationarity of some important classical random processes such as interchange and exclusion processes. Reciprocally, we use results derived from the celebrated Bethe ansatz to obtain original mathematical results about these graphs in the unweighted case. We also discuss extensions of this unifying framework to other systems, such as asymmetric exclusion processes -- a paradigmatic model in non-equilibrium physics, or the more exotic non-Hermitian quantum systems.
We study a class of spin-1/2 quantum antiferromagnetic chains using DMRG technique. The exchange interaction in these models decreases linearly as a function of the separation between the spins, $J_{ij} = R-|i-j|$ for $|i-j| le R$. For the separations beyond $R$, the interaction is zero. The range parameter $R$ takes positive integer values. The models corresponding to all the odd values of $R$ are known to have the same exact doubly degenerate dimer ground state as for the Majumdar-Ghosh (MG) model. In fact, R=3 is the MG model. For even $R$, the exact ground state is not known in general, except for R=2 (the Bethe ansatz solvable Heisenberg chain) and in the asymptotic limit of $R$ where the two MG dimer states again emerge as the exact ground state. In the present work, we numerically investigate the even-$R$ models whose ground state is not known analytically. In particular, for R=4, 6 and 8, we have computed a number of ground state properties. We find that, unlike R=2, the higher even-$R$ models are spin-gapped, and show strong dimer-dimer correlations of the MG type. Moreover, the spin-spin correlations decay very rapidly, albeit showing weak periodic revivals.
Ferromagnetism in one dimension is a novel observation which has been reported in a recent work (P. Gambardella et.al., Nature {bf 416}, 301 (2002)), anisotropies are responsibles in that relevant effect. In the present work, another approach is used to obtain transition between two different magnetic ordering phases. Critical temperature has been estimated by Binder method. Ferromagnetic long range interactions have been included in a special Hamiltonian through a power law that decays at large inter-particle distance $r$ as $r^{-alpha}$, where $alphageq0$. For the present model, we have found that the trend of the critical temperature vanishes when the range of interactions decreases ($alphatoinfty$) and close to mean field approximation when the range of interactions increases ($alphato0$). The crossover between two these limit situations is discussed
The standard topological approach to indistinguishable particles formulates exchange statistics by using the fundamental group to analyze the connectedness of the configuration space. Although successful in two and more dimensions, this approach gives only trivial or near trivial exchange statistics in one dimension because two-body coincidences are excluded from configuration space. Instead, we include these path-ambiguous singular points and consider configuration space as an orbifold. This orbifold topological approach allows unified analysis of exchange statistics in any dimension and predicts novel possibilities for anyons in one-dimensional systems, including non-abelian anyons obeying alternate strand groups.
We introduce a driven diffusive model involving poly-dispersed hard k-mers on a one dimensional periodic ring and investigate the possibility of phase separation transition in such systems. The dynamics consists of a size dependent directional drive and reconstitution of k-mers. The reconstitution dynamics constrained to occur among consecutive immobile k-mers allows them to change their size while keeping the total number of k-mers and the volume occupied by them conserved. We show by mapping the model to a two species misanthrope process that its steady state has a factorized form. Along with a fluid phase, the interplay of drift and reconstitution can generate a macroscopic k-mer, or a slow moving k-mer with a macroscopic void in front of it, or both. We demonstrate this phenomenon for some specific choice of drift and reconstitution rates and provide exact phase boundaries which separate the four phases.
