Title: Impurity-induced antiferromagnetic domains in the periodic Anderson model

Abstract

A central feature of the periodic Anderson model is the competition between antiferromagnetism, mediated by the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida interaction at small conduction electron-local electron hybridization V, and singlet formation at large V. At zero temperature, and in dimension d>1, these two phases are separated by a quantum critical point Vc. We also use quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations to explore the effect of impurities which have a local hybridization V*c in the antiferromagnetic regime which are embedded in a bulk singlet phase with V>Vc. We then measure the suppression of singlet correlations and the antiferromagnetic correlations which form around the impurity, as well as the size of the resulting domain. Exact diagonalization calculations for linear chains allow us to verify that the qualitative features obtained at intermediate coupling and finite T persist to strong coupling and T=0, regimes which are difficult to access with QMC. Our calculations show an agreement qualitatively with NMR measurements in CeCoIn5-xCdx.

Similarly, $\chi$$^{imp}_{ff}$(r = 1) also declines as V → 0, deep in the AF regime. A maximum occurs at intermediate V . Results are given for onsite f electron repulsion Uf = 4, 8, 12.« less
