Abstract
We report the correlated charge and spin density distributions in a quantum wire coupled to electron reservoirs. It is found that charging the wire because of the electron density redistribution between the wire and reservoirs results in the increase of the critical electron density, below which the spontaneous spin polarization appears. The distributions of the electron densities with spin up and spin down along the wire have components oscillating in opposite phases with the wave vector 2kF, kF being the Fermi wave vector. As a result the antiferromagnetic spin order appears, with one of the spin components spontaneously predominating. The charge density distribution is close to the Wigner order with the small amplitude of the 4kF charge-density waves.
