Nonequilibrium Green’s function approach to correlated trapped fermions: Equilibrium properties and nonequilibrium behavior — •Karsten Balzer1, Michael Bonitz1, and Robert van Leeuwen2 — 1Institut für Theoretische Physik und Astrophysik, Christian-Albrechts-Universität Kiel, Leibnizstrasse 15, 24098 Kiel, Germany — 2Department of Physics, University of Jyväskylä, 40014 Survontie 9, Jyväskylä, Finland
Using a Nonequilibrium Green’s function approach, we investigate small arrangements of parabolically confined fermions interacting via a repulsive 1/rα pair-potential in 1D and 2D. Such reduced systems are of relevance for quantum dots and wells, metal clusters or ions in traps.
The equilibrium [1] and dynamical properties [1,2] are obtained by numerically solving the Keldysh/Kadanoff-Baym equations for the two-time Green’s functions [3], where initial correlations at finite temperatures are included self-consistently starting from a correlated equilibrium Green’s function. The consideration of a wide range of relative interaction strengths allows us, in particular, to observe the transition from almost ideal Fermi liquid states to Wigner crystal behavior.
