A Kondo Impurity in One-Dimensional Correlated Conduction Electrons

Published Jul 20, 1998• 8 citations
arXivHTMLPDF

Abstract

A spin-1/2 magnetic impurity coupled to a one-dimensional correlated electron system have been studied by applying the density renormalization group method. The Kondo temperature is substantially enhanced by strong repulsive interactions in the chain, but it changes non-monotonically in the case of electron attraction. The magnetization of the impurity at zero-temperature shows local Fermi liquid behavior.

Renormalization-group study of a magnetic impurity in a Luttinger liquid

A. Schiller, Kevin Ingersent

A generalized Anderson model for a magnetic impurity in an interacting one-dimensional electron gas is studied via a mapping onto a classical Coulomb gas. For weak potential scattering, the local-moment parameter regime expands as repulsive bulk interactions become stronger, but the Kondo scale for the quenching of the impurity moment varies non-monotonically. There also exist two regimes dominated by backward potential scattering: one in which the impurity is non-magnetic, and another in which an unquenched local moment survives down to very low temperatures.

Ground state magnetic susceptibility of Kondo impurities

Bedoor Alkurtass

Impurity models describe localized impurities interacting with the spins of electrons. Strong correlations lead to non-trivial behaviours of the model. In this work we present 3 different impurity models: (1) the single-impurity Kondo model; (2) the two-impurity Kondo model; (3) the two-channel Kondo model. For each model we present a spin chain emulation and utilize the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG). We study the magnetization and zero-temperature susceptibility of the impurity when a local magnetic field is applied. We get the expected relations theoretically.

Anderson impurity in the one-dimensional Hubbard model for finite-size systems

S. Costamagna, C. J. Gazza, M. E. Torio +1 more

An Anderson impurity in a Hubbard model on chains with finite length is studied using the density-matrix renormalization-group (DMRG) technique. In the first place, we analyzed how the reduction of electron density from half filling to quarter filling affects the Kondo resonance in the limit of Hubbard repulsion $U=0$. In general, a weak dependence with the electron density was found for the local density of states (LDOS), at the impurity except when the impurity, at half filling, is close to a mixed-valence regime. Next, in the central part of this paper, we studied the effects of finite Hubbard interaction on the chain at quarter filling. Our main result is that this interaction drives the impurity into a more defined Kondo regime although accompanied in most cases by a reduction of the spectral weight of the impurity LDOS. Again, for the impurity in the mixed-valence regime, we observed an interesting nonmonotonic behavior. We also concluded that the conductance, computed for a small finite bias applied to the leads, follows the behavior of the impurity LDOS, as in the case of noninteracting chains. Finally, we analyzed how the Hubbard interaction and the finite chain length affect the spin compensation cloud both at zero and at finite temperature, in this case using quantum Monte Carlo techniques.

Kondo screening cloud in the single-impurity Anderson model: A density matrix renormalization group study

Andreas Holzner, Ian P. McCulloch, Ulrich Schollwöck +2 more

A magnetic moment in a metal or in a quantum dot is, at low temperatures, screened by the conduction electrons through the mechanism of the Kondo effect. This gives rise to spin-spin correlations between the magnetic moment and the conduction electrons, which can have a substantial spatial extension. We study this phenomenon, the so-called Kondo cloud, by means of the density matrix renormalization group method for the case of the single-impurity Anderson model. We focus on the question whether the Kondo screening length, typically assumed to be proportional to the inverse Kondo temperature, can be extracted from the spin-spin correlations. For several mechanisms---the gate potential and a magnetic field---which destroy the Kondo effect, we investigate the behavior of the screening cloud induced by these perturbations.

Instability of Non-Fermi Liquid Behavior in the Two-Channel Kondo Model

Yuan Qing-Shan, Chen Hong, Yumei Zhang

The effects of interchannel scattering of conduction electrons by the impurity and repulsion of conduction electrons at the impurity site on the two-channel Kondo model are simultaneously considered in this paper. It is shown that these two perturbations will substantially modify the usual local non-Fermi liquid behavior of the two-channel Kondo model. With bosonization and unitary transformations we find that the system can be transformed into a single channel Kondo model with anisotropy between longitudinal and transverse exchange couplings. Whatever for originally antiferromagnetic or ferromagnetic isotropic coupling, the system always flows to strong-coupling limit, which exhibits local Fermi liquid behavior at low temperatures.
