Effects of longrange Coulomb interaction on the quantum transport in fractional quantum Ha.pdfVIP

Effects of long-range Coulomb interaction on the quantum transport in fractional quantum Hall edges Ken-ichiro Imura and Naoto Nagaosa Department of Applied Physics, University of Tokyo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113, Japan We study the effects of long-range Coulomb interaction (LRCI) on the quantum transport in FQH edges with ν = 1/(2k + 1). We consider two models, i.e., the quasi-particle tunneling (QPT) model and the electron tunneling (ET) model at the point contact. The tunneling conductance G(T ) is obtained using the renormalization group treatment. In QPT model, it is found that LRCI further reduces G(T ) below a crossover temperature Λw . In ET 7 model, on the other hand, there is a temeperature region where LRCI enhances G(T ), and nonmonotonic temperature 9 dependence is predicted. 9 Keywords: electron-electron interactions, Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid, fractional quantum Hall effect 1 t Quantum Hall liquid is an incompressible liquid the quantum transport [12, 13, 14] in the above two c with the gap in the charge excitation [1].
