Magnetic impurity in the one-dimensional Hubbard model

Abstract

The Hubbard chain with a magnetic impurity of arbitrary spin $S$ is studied using the Bethe ansatz technique. We consider two kinds of impurities which interact with itinerant electrons on the neighboring lattice sites without destroying the integrability. The correlations in the host always induce valence fluctuations at the impurity site. For a repulsive Hubbard $U$, an impurity coupled via antiferromagnetic exchange to the host reveals magnetic properties similar to those of the ordinary Kondo effect. In contrast, a hybridization impurity (Anderson-like) embedded into the attractive Hubbard model gives rise to essentially different magnetic behavior. This difference is a consequence of the spin gap in the host.

Closing of the spin gap and ferromagnetism induced by magnetic impurities

P. Schlottmann

The Hubbard chain with attractive $U$ and a finite concentration of magnetic impurities of spin $S$ is studied using the Bethe Ansatz technique. The impurities weaken the singlet bound states of the Hubbard model reducing the spin gap. The spin gap is closed at a critical concentration which depends on the spin and the coupling strength. A ferromagnetic phase is induced for concentrations of impurities larger than the critical one, where a fraction of singlet pairs is broken up giving rise to a Fermi sea of spin-polarized itinerant electrons.

Exact solution for an exchange impurity in a one-dimensional correlated host

Andrei A. Zvyagin, P. Schlottmann

The one-dimensional t - J model at the supersymmetric point, J = 2t, with a magnetic impurity of arbitrary spin S is studied exactly using the Bethe ansatz technique. The impurity interacts by spin exchange with the electrons on neighbouring sites of a lattice without destroying the integrability. The discrete Bethe ansatz equations diagonalizing the model, and the thermodynamic equations are derived. The impurity free energy is obtained for arbitrary band filling as a function of temperature and external magnetic field. The impurity can localize up to one itinerant hole, and has in general mixed-valent properties.

An integrable Anderson-impurity problem embedded in the one-dimensional Hubbard model

Renjie Song, Mingchen Zheng, Junpeng Cao +1 more

An exactly solvable one-dimensional Hubbard model with a single Anderson impurity embedded at the boundary is constructed in the framework of the quantum inverse scattering method. The model is solved exactly by the nested Bethe ansatz method. We identify the boundary bound states and determine the ground state phase diagram. By analyzing the impurity contributions to the magnetization density and magnetic susceptibility, we demonstrate that a local moment is formed at the impurity site and is screened by the host electrons, consistent with Kondo physics.

Spinless impurities and Kondo-like behavior in strongly correlated electron systems

Satoshi Fujimoto

We investigate magnetic properties induced by a spinless impurity in strongly correlated electron systems, i.e., the Hubbard model in spatial dimension $D=1,2,$ and $3.$ For the one-dimensional (1D) system exploiting the Bethe ansatz exact solution we find that the spin susceptibility and the local density of states in the vicinity of a spinless impurity show divergent behaviors. The results imply that the induced local moment is not completely quenched at any finite temperatures. On the other hand, the spin lattice relaxation rate obtained by bosonization and boundary conformal field theory satisfies a relation analogous to the Korringa law, ${1/T}_{1}T\ensuremath{\sim}{\ensuremath{\chi}}^{2}.$ In the 2D and 3D systems, the analysis based upon the antiferromagnetically correlated Fermi liquid theory reveals that the antiferromagnetic spin fluctuation developed in the bulk is much suppressed in the vicinity of a spinless impurity, and thus magnetic properties are governed by the induced local moment, which leads to the Korringa law of ${1/T}_{1}.$

One-dimensional heavy fermion lattice model

Andrei A. Zvyagin, P. Schlottmann

We consider a one-dimensional supersymmetric t−J model and introduce a finite concentration of impurities of arbitrary spin S without destroying the integrability. Using the Bethe ansatz equations diagonalizing the correlated host with impurities, we discuss the ground state properties as a function of magnetic field H and the Kondo exchange coupling. While an isolated impurity of spin S>1/2 has a magnetic ground state of effective spin (S−12), a finite concentration introduces a heavy impurity band and yields a singlet ground state with antiferromagnetically correlated impurities. A field H first polarizes the narrow impurity band. The impurities have mixed valent properties induced in part by correlations in the host. Some aspects of the model are related to heavy fermion alloys.

Integrable supersymmetric t-J model with magnetic impurity

P. Schlottmann, Andrei A. Zvyagin

We consider the one-dimensional t-J model, which consists of spin-1/2 electrons on a lattice with nearest neighbor hopping t constrained by the excluded multiple occupancy of the lattice sites and spin-exchange J between neighboring sites. The model is integrable at the supersymmetric point, J=2t. We extend the model by introducing an impurity of arbitrary spin S that interacts with the electrons on the neighboring sites without destroying the integrability. The lattice model is defined by the scattering matrices via the quantum inverse scattering method. The interaction Hamiltonian between the impurity and the itinerant electrons is only explicitly constructed in the continuum limit. The discrete Bethe ansatz equations diagonalizing the model are derived and the solutions are classified according to the string hypothesis. The thermodynamic Bethe ansatz equations are derived and the impurity free energy is obtained for arbitrary bandfilling as a function of temperature and external magnetic field. The properties of the impurity depend on one coupling parameter. The impurity can localize up to one itinerant electron and has in general mixed valent properties. The integer valent low T small H fixed point of the impurity corresponds to an asymptotically free spin S, while if either T or H (or both) become large the impurity behaves like an asymptotically free spin (S+).
