Abstract

We consider the Friedel sum rule (FSR) in the context of scattering in one- and quasi-one-dimensional ballistic wires with a double δ potential. In particular, we analyze the relation between the density of states (DOS) obtained from the energy derivative of the Friedel phase (or the scattering matrix) and that obtained from the Green’s function. We show that the local FSR is valid when a correction term is included. Various properties of the one-dimensional local DOS are also discussed.

We can then choose the energy unit to be \({\epsilon }_{0} = 17.7\,\mathrm{meV}\) which yields a length unit of \({l}_{0} = 5.7\,\mathrm{nm}\)
