Abstract

We analyze the relation between the density of states obtained from the energy derivative of the Friedel phase and that obtained from the Green's function of one- and quasi-one-dimensional wires with a double δ-potential. In the case of repulsive δ-potentials (in both one- and quasi-one-dimension), we show that the local Friedel sum rule is valid when a correction term is included. Various properties of the one-dimensional local density of states are also discussed. In the case of attractive δ-potentials in a quasi-one-dimensional wire, it is well known that the transmission probability may exhibit a Fano resonance (due to a zero-pole pair). In this case, we show that the local Friedel sum rule is valid provided that the tail of the quasibound state is taken into account by the integrated local density of states. In addition, we show that the density of states in a Fano resonance always has a Lorentz shape with peak position at the resonance energy regardless of the (Fano) asymmetry parameter.
