Quantum Coulomb gap in low dimensions    [PDF]

M. Pino, A. M. Somoza, M. Ortuño
We study the single-particle density of states of one-dimensional and two-dimensional quantum disordered systems with long-range interactions. We consider a $1/\sqrt{r}$ interaction in one dimension and a Coulomb interaction in two dimensions, which produce linear gaps in the density of states in both cases. We focus on the strong localization regime where the localization length is small but non-zero. We use an exact diagonalization technique for small system sizes and a perturbation approach for larger sizes. We find that, with both methods, the inclusion of a finite hopping contribution does not change the linear character of the gap, but reduces its slope, widening the gap.
