Interaction induced delocalization of two particles: large system size calculations and dependence on interaction strength

Abstract

The localization length $L_2$ of two interacting particles in a one-dimensional disordered system is studied for very large system sizes by two efficient and accurate variants of the Green function method. The numerical results (at the band center) can be well described by the functional form $L_2=L_1[0.5+c(U)L_1]$ where $L_1$ is the one-particle localization length and the coefficient $c(U)\approx 0.074|U|/(1+|U|)$ depends on the strength $U$ of the on-site Hubbard interaction. The Breit-Wigner width or equivalently the (inverse) life time of non-interacting pair states is analytically calculated for small disorder and taking into account the energy dependence of the one-particle localization length. This provides a consistent theoretical explanation of the numerically found $U$-dependence of $c(U)$.
