Interaction effects in multi-subband quantum wires

الأصل · EN

We investigate the effect of electron-electron interactions on the transport properties of disordered quasi one-dimensional quantum wires with two or more subbands occupied. We apply two alternative methods to solve the logarithmic divergent problem, namely the parquet graph theory and a renormalization group calculation. We solve the group equations analytically in the weak coupling limit and find a power-law for the temperature dependent conductivity of a multi-channel system. The exponent is roughly equal to the inverse of the number of the occupied subbands.
