Ground state correlations in the one-dimensional Fermi one-component plasma

Abstract

Structural and dynamic correlations in the ground state of the one-dimensional Fermi one-component plasma are studied by Quantum Monte Carlo simulations. Results are presented for the pair correlation function, static structure factor, the one-particle density matrix and the momentum distribution, for the cases of full, partial and no polarization. Evidence is reported of density correlations slowly decaying with distance, with the concurrent emergence of quasi-crystalline order even in the weakly correlated regime. Effects of quantum statistics in the momentum distribution are discussed.
