Interwire element of an impurity spectral function in coupled asymmetric quantum wires

We calculate the interwire element of the impurity spectral function in coupled double quantum wires at finite temperatures. Simple anisotropy in the direction perpendicular to the wires gives rise to this element, which is responsible for tunneling-induced effects. We find interwire particle–hole (single-particle) excitations contributing to the total impurity spectral function for temperatures up to View the MathML source.
