Anomalous Diffusion, Prethermalization, and Particle Binding in an Interacting Flat Band System
arXiv:2402.12180 · doi:10.1088/1367-2630/ad4e5d
Abstract
We study the broadening of initially localized wave packets in a quasi one-dimensional diamond ladder with interacting, spinless fermions. The lattice possesses a flat band causing localization. We place special focus on the transition away from the flat band many-body localized case by adding very weak dispersion. By doing so, we allow propagation of the wave packet on significantly different timescales which causes anomalous diffusion. Due to the temporal separation of dynamic processes, an interaction-induced, prethermal equilibrium becomes apparent. A physical picture of light and heavy modes for this prethermal behavior can be obtained within Born-Oppenheimer approximation via basis transformation of the original Hamiltonian. This reveals a detachment between light, symmetric and heavy, anti-symmetric particle species. We show that the prethermal state is characterized by heavy particles binding together mediated by the light particles.
