Slow transport and bound states for spinless fermions with long-range Coulomb interactions on one-dimensional lattices
arXiv:2209.12183 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.108.045131
Abstract
We study transport and relaxation of spinless fermions with long-range Coulomb interactions at high temperatures through numerical simulations of out-of-equilibrium dynamics. We find that the transport and relaxation are continuously slowing down for increasing coupling , and that there is a transition in the type of transport. For intermediate couplings, the system exhibits normal diffusive transport but the time scale for the onset of that is long. For large couplings, it exhibits subdiffusive transport, while at the same time the relaxation time diverges exponentially with system lengths, featuring an MBL-like phase. We attribute the slow transport to formation of slow bound states and stable clusters of particles. For few-particle systems we prove existence, visualize the slowness and analyze collision properties of the bound states. For many particles at high densities there should be a hierarchy of clusters of particles on many different length scales. We argue that at large couplings the average maximal size of the stable clusters should scale linearly with the length of the lattice, which is in accordance with the MBL-like behavior.
