Bound states, resonances, and their thermodynamic properties in pseudospin-1 systems with short-range impurities
Abstract
Bound states and resonances induced by short-range impurities modeled by circular potential wells are analyzed in the vicinity of flat and dispersive bands in gapped and gapless pseudospin-1 systems. We find that the bound and resonant states derived from the flat band show unusual characteristics originating from the multicomponent structure of pseudospin-1 fermions, which are distinct from those for pseudospin-1/2 fermions. Contrary to gapped Dirac systems and unlike bound states in the vicinity of the upper dispersive band, the bound states derived from the flat band occur for any value of the total angular momentum. The energies of these bound states with higher angular momentum j tend to decrease with |j|. In addition, it is found that their wave functions are localized at the potential well edge and the localization increases with |j|. The signatures of the impurity states in the local density of states are determined. Using the Anderson model for independent electrons in the disorder potential, the thermodynamic potential, entropy density, and heat capacity are obtained. In the regime dominated by bound states derived from the flat band, the entropy density monotonically increases with temperature and saturates, whereas the heat capacity exhibits a single maximum.
