Abstract: | We calculate the persistent current of interacting spinless electrons in a one-dimensional ring containing a single δ barrier. We use the self-consistent Hartree–Fock method and the quantum Monte Carlo method which gives fully correlated solutions. Our Hartree–Fock method treats the non-local Fock term in a local approximation and also exactly (if the ring is not too large). Treating the Fock term exactly we attempt to support our previous Hartree–Fock result obtained in the local approximation, in particular the persistent current behaving like I∝L-1-α, where L is the ring length and α>0 is the power depending only on the electron–electron interaction. Finally, we use the Hartree–Fock solutions as an input for our quantum Monte Carlo calculation. The Monte Carlo results exhibit only small quantitative differences from the Hartree–Fock results. |
