Collision of one-dimensional fermion clusters    [PDF]

Jun'ichi Ozaki, Masaki Tezuka, Norio Kawakami
We study cluster-cluster collisions in one-dimensional Fermi systems with particular emphasis on the non-trivial quantum effects of the collision dynamics. We adopt the Fermi-Hubbard model and the time-dependent density matrix renormalization group method to simulate collision dynamics between two fermion clusters of different spin states with contact interaction. It is elucidated that the quantum effects become extremely strong with the interaction strength, leading to the transmittance much more enhanced than expected from semiclassical approximation. We propose a concise model based on one-to-one collisions, which unveils the origin of the quantum effects and also explains the overall properties of the simulation results clearly. Our concise model can quite widely describe the one-dimensional collision dynamics with contact interaction. Some potential applications, such as repeated collisions, are addressed.
