We have used the density-matrix renormalization group method to study the ground-state properties of the symmetric periodic Anderson model in one dimension. We have considered lattices with up to
Ns=50 sites, and electron densities ranging from quarter to half filling. Through the calculation of energies, correlation functions, and their structure factors, together with careful extrapolations (toward ${N}_{s}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty}$), we were able to map out a phase diagram
Uvsn, where
U is the electronic repulsion on
f orbitals, and
n is the electronic density, for a fixed value of the hybridization. At quarter filling,
n=1, our data is consistent with a transition at ${U}_{{c}_{1}}\ensuremath{\simeq}2$, between a paramagnetic (PM) metal and a spin-density-wave (SDW) insulator; overall, the region $U\ensuremath{\lesssim}2$ corresponds to a PM metal for all
n<2. For $1<n\ensuremath{\lesssim}1.5$ a ferromagnetic phase is present within a range of
U, while for $1.5\ensuremath{\lesssim}n<2$, we find an incommensurate SDW phase; above a certain
Uc(n), the system displays a Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida behavior, in which the magnetic wave vector is determined by the occupation of the conduction band. At half filling, the system is an insulating spin liquid, but with a crossover between weak and strong magnetic correlations.
Employing the density matrix renormalization group method and strong-coupling perturbation theory, we study the phase diagram of the SU(2)xSU(2) Kondo lattice model in one dimension. We show that, at quarter filling, the system can exist in two phases depending on the coupling strength. The weak-coupling phase is dominated by RKKY exchange correlations while the strong-coupling phase is characterized by strong antiferromagnetic correlations of the channel degree of freedom. These two phases are separated by a quantum critical point. For conduction-band fillings of less than one quarter, we find a paramagnetic metallic phase at weak coupling and a ferromagnetic phase at moderate to strong coupling.
We have studied the ground-state properties of the symmetric and asymmetric one-dimensional periodic Anderson model as a function of band filling and the model parameters
(V,U,and
Ef) using the local mean-field (LMF) approach. We have constructed the phase diagram for both cases and have calculated the energy, local moment, and occupation number of the f level. The LMF approach can reveal the basic properties of the system throughout the entire parameter space. For the symmetric case ${(E}_{f}=\ensuremath{-}U/2),$ close to quarter and half filling the antiferromagnetic phase is the ground state. For intermediate band-filling there is a second-order phase transition to a ferromagnetic state. At quarter filling there is a transition from a metallic paramagnetic state to an insulating antiferromagnetic state as the on-site Coulomb interaction increases. The asymmetric case is treated in the mixed-valence regime
(Ef=0). At half filling the ground state is antiferromagnetic while at or close to quarter filling it is paramagnetic. Below half filling the ground state becomes ferromagnetic, suggesting that doping destroys rapidly the antiferromagnetic $f\ensuremath{-}f$ spin correlations. For small values of U we find a paramagnetic state at all band fillings. Results for the average occupation number of the f level compare well with density matrix renormalization group calculations.

Periodic Anderson model is one of the most important models in the field of strongly correlated electrons. With the recent developed numerical method density matrix embedding theory, we study the ground state properties of the periodic Anderson model on a two-dimensional square lattice. We systematically investigate the phase diagram away from half filling. We find three different phases in this region, which are distinguished by the local moment and the spin–spin correlation functions. The phase transition between the two antiferromagnetic phases is of first order. It is the so-called Lifshitz transition accompanied by a reconstruction of the Fermi surface. As the filling is close to half filling, there is no difference between the two antiferromagnetic phases. From the results of the spin–spin correlation, we find that the Kondo singlet is formed even in the antiferromagnetic phase.
We compute the magnetic structure factor, the singlet correlation function, and the momentum distribution of the one-dimensional Kondo lattice model at the density \ensuremath{\rho}=0.7. The density-matrix--renormalization-group method is used. We show that in the weak-coupling regime, the ground state is paramagnetic. We argue that a Luttinger-liquid description of the model in this region is consistent with our calculations. In the strong-coupling regime, the ground state becomes ferromagnetic. The conduction electrons show a spinless-fermionlik
