Scattering of two particles in a 1D lattice
arXiv:2106.07586 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.104.023308
Abstract
This study concerns the two-body scattering of particles in a one-dimensional periodic potential. A convenient ansatz allows for the separation of center-of-mass and relative motion, leading to a discrete Schrödinger equation in the relative motion that resembles a tight-binding model. A lattice Green's function is used to develop the Lippmann-Schwinger equation, and ultimately derive a multi-band scattering K-matrix which is described in detail in the two-band approximation. Two distinct scattering lengths are defined according the limits of zero relative quasi-momentum at the top and bottom edges of the two-body collision band. Scattering resonances occur in the collision band when the energy is coincident with a bound state attached to another higher or lower band. Notably, repulsive on-site interactions in an energetically closed lower band lead to collision resonances in an excited band.
