Generalized Calogero-Sutherland models for Kondo physics in the Luttinger liquid

Abstract

We propose a series of models with inverse-square interactions, for which the ground states have an exact closed form, that describe one localized spin-$1/2$ Kondo impurity coupled to Luttinger liquids of itinerant bosons or fermions in the continuum or on a lattice. The model Hamiltonians contain two parts: a two-component Calogero-Sutherland model with an open boundary in the continuum or a long-range $t\text{\ensuremath{-}}J$-type model on the lattice, and long-range Kondo couplings between the impurity and the particles. The wave functions of the ground states in a certain basis have Jastrow product forms with powers depending on the particle statistics. It is shown that the wave functions can be expressed as chiral correlators of certain conformal field theories, which reveals that the particles are fractionalized to fully screen the Kondo impurity. This insight would be very useful in future studies on the very difficult problem of Kondo physics with interacting baths.

Kondo effect in a host with fractional statistics: Absence of Kondo logarithms

Yupeng Wang, P. Schlottmann

By constructing the reflection Dunkl operator we derive several integrable models consisting of a boundary impurity coupled to an electron gas with interactions of the Calogero-Sutherland type. Some of these models were constucted previously using Lax-pair operators. The necessary condition of integrability imposes that the impurity potential has a form similar to that of the bulk interactions. Based on these results we conjecture that a Kondo impurity coupled to the host with long-range interactions of the ${1/r}^{2}$ type is also integrable. Using the asymptotic Bethe Ansatz we show that there are no Kondo logarithms, and depending on the coupling of the impurity to the host, the impurity spin can either be totally screened, partially screened, or unscreened. On the other hand, for a $1/{\mathrm{sinh}}^{2}(r)$ interaction potential a Kondo effect with logarithms is obtained.

Boundary Kondo problem in the integrable t−J model

Jianhui Dai, Yupeng Wang

We study the problem of a boundary magnetic impurity coupled with the solvable $t\ensuremath{-}J$ chain. This model provides a good starting point to understand the Kondo problem in a Luttinger liquid as well as in a strongly correlated host. As the Kondo coupling constant ${J}_{i}$ may take arbitrary values without breaking the integrability, we can study the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic Kondo problems simultaneously. It is shown that the boundary coupling generally splits the impurity spin into two effective spins and induces the interaction-dependent residual entropy. The absence of Kondo screening in an antiferromagnetic Kondo coupling regime is found, which indicates a genuine competing effect between the Kondo coupling ${J}_{i}$ and the impurity potential ${V}_{i}.$ A local Landau-Luttinger liquid description is proposed to calculate the specific heat of the impurity.

Kondo Effect in a Luttinger Liquid: Exact Results from Conformal Field Theory

Per Fröjdh, Henrik Johannesson

We report on exact results for the low-temperature thermodynamics of a spin- $\frac{1}{2}$ magnetic impurity coupled to a one-dimensional interacting electron system. By using boundary conformal field theory, we show that there are only two types of critical behaviors consistent with the symmetries of the problem: either a local Fermi liquid or a theory with an anomalous response identical to that recently proposed by Furusaki and Nagaosa. Suppression of backscattering off the impurity leads to the same critical properties as for the two-channel Kondo effect.

Density-density correlations in a Luttinger liquid: Lattice approximation in the Calogero-Sutherland model

Diptiman Sen, R. K. Bhaduri

For a one-dimensional model in which the two-body interactions are long-range and strong, the system almost crystallizes. The harmonic modes of such a lattice were used by Krivnov and Ovchinnikov to compute the ground-state wave function and the dynamical density-density correlations. We review this method, and apply it to the Calogero-Sutherland model, whose density-density correlation functions are exactly known for certain values of the coupling constant. We show numerically that the correlations obtained are quite accurate even if the coupling is not very large. Such comparisons have been made earlier by Forrester. The lattice method is considerably simpler than the ones used to derive the exact results, and yields expressions for the correlations- which are easily plotted. The equal-time correlations can be expanded in inverse powers of coupling; we show that the two leading order terms agree with the exact results which are known for integer values of the coupling. The strength-dependent power law fall-off is typical of a Luttinger liquid.In a general one-dimensional model where the two-body interaction decreases as a power of the relative distance, we argue, following Schulz, that at zero temperature the system behaves as a Luttinger liquid if the power exceeds 1, and as a Wigner crystal if it is less than 1.PACS Nos.: 63.20-e, 71.10Pm

Quantum impurities in interacting environments

Colin Rylands

The quantum physics of one dimensional systems exhibits many remarkable and exotic physical phenomena. These are the result of the strong correlations which exist in such systems due to the reduced dimensionality and in many cases can be described by Luttinger Liquid theory. Likewise quantum impurity systems, where a bath of particles couples to the same impurity, exhibit well known non perturbative phenomena like the Kondo effect. In this thesis we study the physics of quantum impurities in interacting environments - the intersection of these two areas. Such Luttinger-impurity systems can be realized experimentally in a range of different settings from quantum wires and carbon nano tubes to edges of fractional quantum hall systems and cold atom gases. We show that many of the models used to describe these experiments are integrable and can be studied by means of the Bethe Ansatz. This powerful and exact method provides us with the exact eigenstates and energy levels of the model Hamiltonian. The models considered include two which describe a Lutttinger liquid coupled to a back scattering impurity, the Kane-Fisher and weak tunnelling model as well as Luttinger liquids coupled a quantum dot in various geometries: at the boundary, sidecoupled and embedded. To incorporate both the backscattering nature of the impurities and the interacting bulk particles a new formulation of the Bethe Ansatz is developed and implemented. The eigenstates and spectra of the models are found and used to investigate their ground state and thermodynamic properties.

Exactly solvable Kondo problem in the open $t-J$ chains

Jianhui Dai, Yupeng Wang

We study the problem of a boundary magnetic impurity coupled with the solvable $t-J$ chains. Our model provides a good start point to understand the Kondo problem in a Luttinger liquid as well as in a strongly correlated host. The Kondo coupling constant $J$ can take arbitrary values, which allows us to study the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic Kondo problems simultaneously. It is shown that both the Kondo coupling and the scalar potential effectively reconcile the spin dynamics at low temperatures. Generally, the impurity spin is split into two ghost spins via coupling effect. The residual entropy, which can be exactly derived for the present model, is strongly interaction-dependent. This hints the local spin configuration is very complicated and very different from that in the conventional Kondo problem. An unscreening phenomenon in the antiferromagnetic regime is found, which reveals the impurity potential plays an important role for the Kondo problem in a strongly correlated host. The low temperature specific heat is calculated in the framework of local Landau-Luttinger liquid theory.
