Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid theory for metallic fullurene polymers

We investigate the low energy behavior of local density of states in metallic C$_{60}$ polymers theoretically. The multichannel bosonization method is applied to electronic band structures evaluated from first principles calculation, by which the effects of electronic correlation and nanoscale corrugation in the atomic configuration are fully taken into account. We obtain a closed-form expression for the power law anomalies in the local density of states, which successfully describes the experimental observation on the \fu polymers in a quantitative manner. An important implication from the closed-form solution is the existence of an experimentally unobserved crossover at nearly a hundred milli-electron volts, beyond which the power law exponent of the \fu polymers should change significantly.
