We study the transport properties of a Luttinger liquid in the presence of several time-dependent weak point-like impurities. Our starting point is the bosonized form of the Luttinger liquid Hamiltonian with a potential introduced by the…
The one-dimensional free Fermi gas is a prototype conformally invariant system, whose entanglement properties are well-understood. In this work, the effects of a single impurity on one dimensional free fermion entanglement entropy are…
In materials with strong local Coulomb interactions, simple defects such as atomic substitutions strongly affect both macroscopic and local properties of the system. A nonmagnetic impurity, for instance, is seen to induce magnetism nearby.…
In the theory of dilute magnetic impurities in superconductors, the effect of all impurity spin-components is expressed via a single magnetic scattering rate $\Gamma_\mathrm{m}$. In a more realistic setting, magnetic impurities are…
It is shown theoretically that the Luttinger liquid phase in quasi-one-dimensional conductors can exist in the presence of impurities in a form of a collection of bounded Luttinger liquids. The conclusion is based upon the observation by…
We solve the Boltzmann equation for electrons moving in a two-dimensional plane of square symmetry in the presence of a transverse magnetic field. We assume that there are two sources of scattering: a large momentum-independent scattering…
Correlated, or extended, impurities play an important role in the transport properties of dirty metals. Here, we examine, in the framework of a tight-binding lattice, the transmission of a single electron through an array of correlated…
Impurity scattering in the unitary limit produces low energy quasiparticles with anisotropic spectrum in a two-dimensional $d$-wave superconductor. We describe a new {\em quasi-one-dimensional } limit of the quasiparticle scattering, which…
We theoretically study the quantum transport in a three-dimensional spin-1 chiral fermion system in the presence of coulomb impurities based on the self-consistent Born approximation. We find that the flat-band states anomalously enhance…
In a recent paper -- F. Ciccarello \emph{et al.}, New J. Phys. \textbf{8}, 214 (2006) -- we have demonstrated that the electron transmission properties of a one-dimensional (1D) wire with two identical embedded spin-1/2 impurities can be…
We investigate the scattering process of impulse from impurities in vertical granular chain system under gravity. Most of the studies are focused on the case of light impurities. The reflection rates follow power laws with the impuity…
For the weakly coupled S=1 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chains on a simple cubic lattice, the effects of magnetic impurities are investigated by the quantum Monte Carlo method with the continuous-time loop algorithm. The transition…
In a quasi-one-dimensional system (a tube) with low concentration of defects $n$ the resistivity $\rho$ has peaks (van-Hove singularities) as a function of Fermi-energy. We show that due to non-Born scattering effects a deep narrow gap…
The effects of magnetic and non-magnetic impurities in spin-Peierls systems are investigated allowing for lattice relaxation and quantum fluctuations. We show that, in isolated chains, strong bonds form next to impurities, leading to the…
Using one-dimensional spin-orbital model as a typical example of quantum spin systems with richer symmetries, we study the effect of an isolated impurity on its low energy dynamics in the gapless phase through bosonization and…
An arbitrarily small concentration of impurities can affect the spin Hall conductivity in a two-dimensional semiconductor system. We develop a Boltzmann-like equation that can be used for impurity scattering with arbitrary angular…
We study the effects of impurity scattering on the low energy edge state dynamic s for a broad class of quantum Hall fluids at filling factor $\nu =n/(np+1)$, for integer $n$ and even integer $p$. When $p$ is positive all $n$ of the edge…
In one-dimensional quantum wires the interplay of electron correlations and impurities strongly influences the low-energy physics. The diversity of energy scales and the competition of correlations in interacting Fermi systems can be…
A theory for the effect of impurity scattering on electronic Raman scattering in unconventional superconductors is presented. The impurity dependence of the the spectra can be used to to distinguish between conventional (anisotropic…
This paper develops a scattering theory to examine how point impurities affect transport through quantum wires. While some of our new results apply specifically to hard-walled wires, others--for example, an effective optical theorem for…
