One-dimensional Disordered Density Waves and Superfluids: The Role of Quantum Phase Slips and Thermal Fluctuations

Abstract

The low temperature phase diagram of 1D disordered quantum systems like charge or spin density waves, superfluids and related systems is considered by a full finite T renormalization group approach, presented here for the first time. At zero temperature the consideration of quantum phase slips leads to a new scenario for the unpinning (delocalization) transition. At finite T a rich cross-over diagram is found which reflects the zero temperature quantum critical behavior.
