Two Interacting Electrons in a Quasiperiodic Chain

arXiv:cond-mat/9703112 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.56.12797

Abstract

We study numerically the effect of on-site Hubbard interaction U between two electrons in the quasiperiodic Harper's equation. In the periodic chain limit by mapping the problem to that of one electron in two dimensions with a diagonal line of impurities of strength U we demonstrate a band of resonance two particle pairing states starting from E=U. In the ballistic (metallic) regime we show explicitly interaction-assisted extended pairing states and multifractal pairing states in the diffusive (critical) regime. We also obtain localized pairing states in the gaps and the created subband due to U, whose number increases when going to the localized regime, which are responsible for reducing the velocity and the diffusion coefficient in the qualitatively similar to the non-interacting case ballistic and diffusive dynamics. In the localized regime we find propagation enhancement for small U and stronger localization for larger U, as in disordered systems.
