Features of renormalization induced by interaction in 1D transport

Abstract

One-dimensional interacting electrons in a quantum wire connected to reservoirs are studied theoretically. The difference in the Tomonaga-Luttinger interaction constants between the wire (g) and reservoirs $(g_{\infty})$ produces the cross-correlation between the right- and left-going chiral components of the charge density wave field. The low energy asymptotics of this field correlator, which is determined by (g) and $(g_{\infty})$, specifies renormalization of physical quantities. We have found that charge of the carriers in the shot noise is determined by $g_\infty$ (no renormalization for the Fermi liquid reservoirs) at any energy, meanwhile the factor g renormalizing the charge and spin susceptibilities emerges in the threshold structures at some rational fillings.
