Manipulating the Tomonaga-Luttinger exponent by electric field modulation

The European Physical Journal B Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract.

We establish a theoretical framework for artificial control of the power-law singularities in Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid states. The exponent governing the power-law behaviors is found to increase significantly with an increase in the amplitude of spatially periodic electrostatic field applied to the system. This field-induced shift in the exponent indicates the tunability of the transport properties of quasi-one-dimensional electron systems.
