Exact Friedel oscillations in the g=1/2 Luttinger liquid

Condensed Matter 2009-10-28 v2

Abstract

A single impurity in the 1D Luttinger model creates a local modification of the charge density analogous to the Friedel oscillations. In this paper, we present an exact solution of the case g=12g={1\over 2} (the equivalent of the Toulouse point) at any temperature TT and impurity coupling, expressing the charge density in terms of a hypergeometric function. We find in particular that at T=0T=0, the oscillatory part of the density goes as lnx\ln x at small distance and x1/2x^{-1/2} at large distance.
