In the narrow-pore limit, the system can be described by the quantum hydrodynamic theory known as Luttinger liquid theory with a large Luttinger parameter, corresponding to the dominance of solid tendencies and strong susceptibility to pinning by a periodic or random potential from the pore walls. On the other hand, for wider pores, the central region appears to behave like a Luttinger liquid with a smaller Luttinger parameter, and may be protected from pinning by the wall potential, offering the possibility of experimental detection of a Luttinger liquid.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2011-06-19T17:03:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "67.25.dr", "02.70.Ss", "05.30.Jp", "67.25.dj" ], "keywords": [ "large-scale quantum monte carlo simulations", "quantum hydrodynamic theory", "low temperature properties", "large luttinger parameter", "luttinger liquid theory" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review Letters", "year": 2011, "month": "Mar", "volume": 106, "number": 10, "pages": 105303 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011PhRvL.106j5303D" } } }
