These observations are in apparent contradiction with the Lieb-Mattis theorem, which forbids spontaneous spin polarization in one dimension. We show that sufficiently strong interactions between electrons induce deviations from the strictly one-dimensional geometry and indeed give rise to a ferromagnetic ground state in a certain range of electron densities.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-07-16T01:25:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum wires", "experiments report spin polarization", "ferromagnetic ground state", "electrons induce deviations", "forbids spontaneous spin polarization" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
