Fermionic Phonons: Exact Analytic Results and Quantum Statistical Mechanics for a One Dimensional Harmonic Crystal
Abstract
Analytic expressions for the energy eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a one-dimensional harmonic crystal are obtained. The average energy and density profiles are obtained numerically as a function of temperature. A surprisingly large number of energy levels (eg.\ 5,000 for 4 particles) are required for reliable results at even moderate temperatures.
