z y x H Perfect conductors Previous results • Lopatin et al. ,Phys. Rev. B 63, 075109 (2001) . Weakly coupled Luttinger liquids.
E 1 3 2 4 k g3 Model • We consider the chains as commensurate systems (half filled) • Weakly coupled Luttinger liquids with umklapp scattering
1 Memory function approach • We study the Hall effect using a Memory function approach E. Lange, PRB 55, 3907 (1997)
No interactions Repulsive interactions For small g3 or Large Temp: Results • Hall constant
Consequences • Need for Hall effects measurement in ½ filled compounds • ½ filled (TTM-TTP)I3 ? • Calculation of the Hall constant for ¼ filled.
Hall effect in ¼ filled compounds ? G. Mihály et al., Phys. Rev. Lett, 12 (2000) J. Moser et al., Phys. Rev. Lett, 12 (2000)
Conclusions • We study the Hall effect in weakly coupled Luttinger liquids using a Memory function approach • We obtained a power law dependence on T for RH in the ½ filled case • The next step should be the ¼ filled case to compare with experiments. • More measurement on the Hall effect in quasi 1D systems are needed.
