Renormalization-group calculation of excitation properties for impurity models

Makoto Yoshida, Marisa Andreata Whitaker, L. Nunes de Oliveira

The renormalization-group method developed by Wilson to calculate thermodynamical properties of dilute magnetic alloys is generalized to allow the calculation of dynamical properties of many-body impurity Hamiltonians. As a simple illustration, the impurity spectral density for the resonant-level model (i.e., the U=0 Anderson model) is computed. As a second illustration, for the same model, the longitudinal relaxation rate for a nuclear spin coupled to the impurity is calculated as a function of temperature.

Single Particle Dynamics of Anderson-like Impurity Models: A Functional Renormalization Group Study

R Hedden

The Anderson Impurity Model is a generic model to describe systems in which one or more energy levels are coupled to an electronic host. On the energy levels the electrons are subject to a Coulomb interaction. Possible applications of this model are magnetic atoms in a metal or quantum dot systems. Already for one impurity it displays very interesting physics including the well known Kondo effect. For two and more impurities the properties of the system in the local moment regime are determined by an interplay of the Kondo effect and the coupling between the impurity spins. Due to the interplay of multiple energy scales, this model poses a serious task for any computational tool. For a single impurity the model can be very efficiently treated using Wilson"s numerical renormalization group (NRG). Since the numerical effort of NRG calculations rises exponentially with the number of impurities, generically it cannot be applied to systems with more than two impurities. The functional renormalization group (fRG) has been very successfully applied to quantum impurity problems in the past. In this work it will be used to calculate the single-particle dynamics for Anderson-like quantum impurity systems in equilibrium. A comparison to NRG in the case of a single impurity will serve as a benchmark before systems with two impurities and quantum dot systems with two and three dots will be studied. The interplay between the Kondo effect and magnetic and orbital ordering will be investigated in these systems. Although the truncation in the presented fRG scheme is motivated by second order perturbation theory, it will be shown that fRG works also in those cases where perturbation theory fails. Generally it will turn out that fRG is capable of treating a broad variety of Anderson impurity systems within the same framework, including asymmetric impurity levels and interaction between multiple impurities.

RENORMALIZATION GROUP APPROACHES TO STRONGLY CORRELATED ELECTRON SYSTEMS

Alex C. Hewson, S. C. BRADLEY, R. Bulla +1 more

In recent years the numerical renormalization group (NRG) method has been extended to the calculation of dynamic response functions and transport properties of magnetic impurity models. The approach can now be applied more widely to lattice models of strongly correlated electron systems by the use of dynamical mean field theory (DMFT), in which the lattice problem is transformed into one for an effective impurity with an additional self-consistency constraint. We review these developments and assess the potential for further applications of this approach. We also discuss an alternative approach to renormalization, renormalized perturbation theory, in which the leading asymptotically exact results for the low temperature regime for a number of magnetic impurity models can be obtained within finite order perturbation theory.
