S. Ioselevich", "N. S. Peshcherenko" ], "categories": [ "cond-mat.mes-hall" ], "abstract": "Quasi-one-dimensional systems demonstrate Van Hove singularities in the density of states $\\nu_F$ and the resistivity $\\rho$, occurring when the Fermi level $E$ crosses a bottom $E_N$ of some subband of transverse quantization. We demonstrate that the character of smearing of the singularities crucially depends on the concentration of impurities. There is a crossover concentration $n_c\\propto |\\lambda|$, $\\lambda\\ll 1$ being the dimensionless amplitude of scattering. For $n\\gg n_c$ the singularities are simply rounded at $\\varepsilon\\equiv E-E_N\\sim \\tau^{-1}$ -- the Born scattering rate. For $n\\ll n_c$ the non-Born effects in scattering become essential despite $\\lambda\\ll 1$. The peak of the resistivity is asymmetrically split in a Fano-resonance manner (however with a more complex structure). Namely, for $\\varepsilon>0$ there is a broad maximum at $\\varepsilon\\propto \\lambda^2$ while for $\\varepsilon<0$ there is a deep minimum at $|\\varepsilon|\\propto n^2\\ll \\lambda^2$. The behaviour of $\\rho$ below the minimum depends on the sign of $\\lambda$. In case of repulsion $\\rho$ monotonically grows with $|\\varepsilon|$ and saturates for $|\\varepsilon|\\gg \\lambda^2$. In case of attraction $\\rho$ has sharp maximum at $|\\varepsilon|\\propto \\lambda^2$. The latter feature is due to resonant scattering by quasistationary bound states that inevitably arise just below the bottom of each subband for any attracting impurity.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-09-30T17:19:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "clean conducting tube", "non-born effects", "scattering", "systems demonstrate van hove singularities", "quasi-one-dimensional systems demonstrate van hove" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
