Mobility edge phenomenon in a Hubbard chain: A mean field study
arXiv:1211.1497 · doi:10.1016/j.physleta.2013.03.013
Abstract
We show that a tight-binding one-dimensional chain composed of interacting and non-interacting atomic sites can exhibit multiple mobility edges at different values of carrier energy in presence of external electric field. Within a mean field Hartree-Fock approximation we numerically calculate two-terminal transport by using Green's function formalism. Several cases are analyzed depending on the arrangements of interacting and non-interacting atoms in the chain. The analysis may be helpful in designing mesoscale switching devices.
