Non-Fermi-liquid behavior due to short range order

Abstract

An exactly soluble one-dimensional model of electrons interacting with order parameter fluctations associated with short-range order is considered. The energy and momentum dependence of the electronic self energy and spectral function are calculated and found to exhibit non-Fermi-liquid features similar to that seen for the two-dimensional Hubbard model: a pseudogap, shadow bands, anomalies in the self energy, and breakdown of the quasiparticle picture. Deviations from Fermi liquid behavior are largest close to the Fermi surface and as the correlation length increases.
