Charge density wave in a doped Kondo chain
Yixuan Huang, D. N. Sheng, C. S. Ting
We report the existence of a charge density wave (CDW) in the ground state of the one-dimensional (1D) Kondo lattice model at the filling of $n=0.75$ in the weak-coupling region. The CDW is driven by the effective Coulomb repulsion induced by the localized spins. Based on our numerical results using the density matrix renormalization-group method, we show that the CDW phase appears in the paramagnetic region previously known as the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid. The emergence of this phase serves as an example of a CDW phase induced without bare repulsive interactions, and it enriches the phase diagram of the 1D Kondo lattice model.
