Spin-dependent transport in a Luttinger liquid
Leon Balents, Reinhold Egger
We develop a detailed theory for spin transport in a one-dimensional quantum wire described by Luttinger liquid theory. A hydrodynamic description for the quantum wire is supplemen…
Measuring Fractional Charge in Carbon Nanotubes
Cristina Bena, Smitha Vishveshwara, Leon Balents +1
The Luttinger model of the one-dimensional Fermi gas is the cornerstone of modern understanding of interacting electrons in one dimension. In fact, the enormous class of systems wh…
Interlayer tunneling in double-layer quantum Hall pseudo-ferromagnets
Leon Balents, Leo Radzihovsky
We show that the interlayer tunneling I--V in double-layer quantum Hall states displays a rich behavior which depends on the relative magnitude of sample size, voltage length scale…
Spin transport in interacting quantum wires and carbon nanotubes
Leon Balents, Reinhold Egger
We present a general formulation of spin-dependent transport through a clean one-dimensional interacting quantum wire or carbon nanotube, connected to non-collinear ferromagnets vi…
Excitonic order at strong-coupling: pseudo-spins, doping, and ferromagnetism
Leon Balents
A tight binding model is introduced to describe the strong interaction limit of excitonic ordering. At stoichiometry, the model reduces in the strong coupling limit to a pseudo-spi…
