Transport in Quasi One-Dimensional Systems
Abstract
Description
The interplay of Umklapp scattering from a periodic potential and other scattering processes determine the conductivity of (quasi) one-dimensional metals. We show that the transport at finite temperature is qualitatively and quantitatively strongly influenced by a number of approximate conservation laws. Typically, not the strongest but the second strongest scattering mechanism determines the dc-conductivity. We discuss the optical conductivity both of strongly anisotropic, quasi one-dimensional Fermi liquids and of Luttinger liquids.
