We study the frequency and space dependence of the local tunneling density of states of a Luttinger liquid (LL) which is connected to a superconductor. This coupling {\em strongly} modifies the single-particle properties of the LL. It…

Determining the (bare) electron mass $m_0$ in crystals is often hindered by many-body effects since Fermi-liquid physics renormalises the band mass, making the observed effective mass $m^*$ depend on density. Here, we use a one-dimensional…
Periodic configurations of electrodes, in particular of microelectrodes, have been of interest since the advent of microfabrication. In this report, theory which is common to any periodic cell (or any cell that can be extended periodically)…
We analyze the fermion density of the one-dimensional Hubbard model using bosonization and numerical DMRG calculations. For finite systems we find a relatively sharp crossover even for moderate short range interactions into a region with…

Ignited by the discovery of the metal-insulator transition, the behaviour of low-disorder two-dimensional (2D) electron systems is currently the focus of a great deal of attention. In the strongly-interacting limit, electrons are expected…
