Abstract

We examine the spin-reflection positivity of the ground state of the Kondo lattice model at half-filling with the antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic exchange couplings $J\ne0$. For every positive $U>0$, where U is the Coulomb interaction between the conduction electrons, we can show that the ground state is unique.

Ground State of the Kondo-Hubbard Model at Half Filling

Takashi Yanagisawa, Yukihiro Shimoi

We investigate the ground state of the Kondo-Hubbard model employing the recently introduced idea of spin-reflection positivity. It is shown exactly that the Kondo-Hubbard model for $J<0$ and $U>|J|/4$ at half filling has a unique ground state which can be ferromagnetic or singlet according to the lattice structure. In particular, for the Kondo lattice with $U>|J|/4$, the ground state is a singlet. We also show a theorem for the Kondo-Hubbard model with the anisotropic antiferromagnetic coupling ${J}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}>0$ and ${J}_{z}\ensuremath{\le}0$ for $U>|{J}_{z}|/4$.

Reflection Positivity in Spin Space for the Heisenberg Model, the Kondo Hamiltonian and the Kondo Lattice

Takashi Yanagisawa

In this article we discuss the reflection positivity in spin space for the Heisenberg model and the Kondo Hamiltonian. We show that the ground state is unique for J ≠0 where J is the strength of the exchange interaction in the Heisenberg model or the exchange coupling between the localized spins and conduction electrons in the Kondo model. We introduce the Coulomb interaction U >0 between the conduction lectrons for the Kondo Hamiltonian to show the uniqueness of the ground state. We write the Hamiltonian in terms of fermions to express the exchange interactions and impose constraints. We employ the Lagrange-multiplier method to deal with the constraints in this work.

Applications of reflection positivity in strongly correlated electron systems

Shun-Qing Shen

In this paper, theorems are proved concerning the total spin and the sign of the spin-spin correlation function for positive (semi)definite states of correlated electrons at half filling. These theorems are applied to the ground states of the Anderson model, the Kondo model, and a generalized Hubbard model for ferromagnetism. It is found that there exists ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic long-range order in several cases. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

Spin-liquid ground state of the half-filled Kondo lattice in one dimension

Hirokazu Tsunetsugu, Yasuhiro Hatsugai, Kazuo Ueda +1 more

By finite-size analysis of exact diagonalization the existence of a finite spin gap is confirmed for both antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic coupling in the half-filled Kondo lattice model. For all finite values of antiferromagnetic coupling the system belongs to a class of coherent Kondo spin singlet, whereas for any finite ferromagnetic coupling it scales to a spin S=1 antiferromagnetic chain with a Haldane gap.

Singlet ground state of the periodic Anderson model at half filling: A rigorous result

Kazuo Ueda, Hirokazu Tsunetsugu, Manfred Sigrist

It is proved that the ground state of the symmetric periodic Anderson model forms a total spin singlet at half filling. This result can also be applied to the Kondo lattice model, at least for the weak and the very strong antiferromagnetic-coupling limit. For the strong coupling limit of the Kondo lattice it is additionally proved that the singlet ground state exists even when two holes are doped to the half-filled band.

Electric and magnetic properties of higher-spin Kondo-Heisenberg models at strong coupling

Riku Masui, Keisuke Totsuka

We study higher-spin ($S\ensuremath{\ge}1$) generalization of the one-dimensional Kondo-Heisenberg model, in which the local spin-$S$ moments of the Kondo-lattice model interact with each other via the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg interaction (${J}_{\text{H}}$), by analytical and numerical methods. The strong-coupling (i.e., large Kondo coupling) expansion maps out an insulating phase at half-filling whose magnetic correlation depends on the parity of $2S$ as well as a ferromagnetic metallic phase which dominates the strong-coupling region at generic fillings. Then, we carried out the density-matrix renormalization-group simulations for $S=1$ to closely investigate the phase structure at large but finite Kondo coupling. At half-filling, the Kondo coupling and ${J}_{\text{H}}$ do not compete and the insulating spin-gapless phase is stable, while the competition of the two leads to a stepwise collapse of the strong-coupling ferromagnetism via an intervening dimerized insulating phase with power-law spin correlation at quarter-filling.
