Interacting Tomonaga-Lüttinger liquid with impurity for interaction constant K = 1/2: Thermopower investigation, entropy variation and heat capacity densities associated with thermoelectric particle transport
Abstract
We investigate thermoelectric and thermodynamic properties of a Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid with interaction parameter K=1/2 in the presence of a localized impurity. Using bosonization and refermionization, we derive an exact expression for the thermopower in the nonlinear regime and obtain the corresponding Seebeck coefficient in linear response. At low temperature, the Seebeck coefficient follows a Mott-like relation governed by the energy dependence of the transmission coefficient and is found to be closely related to the entropy per particle. This connection allows us to derive using Kelvin formula the thermopower contribution to the entropy density variation and the charge-carriers contribution to the heat capacity density. Both quantities exhibit Mott-like behavior in the low-temperature regime. We apply our results to a fractional quantum Hall quantum point contact and to a one-channel quantum conductor coupled to an Ohmic environment. Our results demonstrate the close connection between thermoelectric transport and thermodynamic properties in interacting one-dimensional quantum systems.
