Based on three-dimensional quantum electrodynamics theory,a set of truncated Dyson-Schwinger(D-S) equations are solved to study photon and fermion propagators with the effect of vacuum polarization.Numerical studies show that condensation and the value of fermion mass depends heavily on how the D-S equations are truncated.By solving a set of coupled D-S equations,it is also found that the fermion propagator shows a clear dependence on the order parameter.The truncated D-S equations under unquenched approximation are used to study the mass-function and chiral condensation of the fermions.The results under the unquenched approximation are clearly different from the ones under quenched approximation.With the increase in the order parameter,the fermion condensation in the unquenched approximation decreases when 0≤ξ5,while it increases when ξ5.However,nothing like this is observed in the quenched approximation,which indicates that there may be flaws in the quenched approximations.
Spin-orbit scattering effects in a layered quasi-2D disordered electron system have been investigated by the diagrammatic techniques in perturbation theory. The expression of Cooperon (propagator in particle-particle channel) is obtained as the function of interlayer coupling. The analytical result for the quantum correction to Hall conductivity has been obtained as functions of elastic, inelastic and spin-orbit scattering times. It is shown that the strong and weak couplings correspond, respectively, to the 3D and 2D situations. The Hall coefficient is shown to vanish. The relevant dimensional crossover behavior from 3D to 2D with decreasing the interlayer coupling has been discussed, and the condition for the crossover has been obtained. The present theory is expected to apply for the electronic transport in tunneling superlattices.
