The exponent for tunneling into such a wire thus depends on the conductance through the wire. This striking effect originates from a many-body scattering resonance reminiscent of the Kondo effect. The predicted anomalous scaling is stable against weak perturbations of the ideal Tonks gas limit at sufficiently high energies, similar to the phenomenology of a quantum critical point.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2007-08-22T20:10:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum wire", "tunneling exponents sensitive", "impurity scattering", "ideal tonks gas limit", "many-body scattering resonance reminiscent" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
