STRONG ELECTRONIC CORRELATIONS AND LOW ENERGY SCALES
Theoretische Physik
Abstract
Oneofthemanyfascinatingaspectsofstronglycorrelatedelectronsystemsisthe appearanceoflowenergyscales: interestingphysicalphenomenaareobservedon anenergy(andtemperature)scalemuchlowerthane.g.localCoulombrepulsion, hybridization. etc. Well known examples are heavy fermion compounds and systemsinthevicinityofametal-insulatortransition. Thesephenomenacanbe describedusingsimple(butneverthelessstronglycorrelated)electronicmodels. Forthese models. the greatdifferenceinenergyscalesingeneralrepresentsa difficulttaskfor the theoretical investigation. Thenumerical renorrnalization groupmethodturnsouttobeaveryefficienttooltodealwiththeseproblems. ThismethodwasdevelopedbyWilsonfortheinvestigationoftheKondomodel andhasbeenrecently(successfully)appliedtolatticemodels(suchasHubbard modelandperiodicAndersonmodel)withinthedynamicalmeanfieldtheory.
