Bose-Fermi Kondo model with Ising anisotropy: cluster-Monte Carlo approach
Abstract
The Bose-Fermi Kondo model captures the physics of the destruction of Kondo screening, which is of extensive current interest to the understanding of quantum critical heavy fermion metals. There are presently limited theoretical methods to study the finite temperature properties of the Bose-Fermi Kondo model. Here we provide some of the consistency checks on the cluster-Monte Carlo method, which we have recently applied to the Ising-anisotropic Bose-Fermi Kondo model. We show that the method correctly captures the scaling properties of the Kondo phase, as well as those on approach to the Kondo-destroying quantum critical point. We establish that comparable results are obtained when the Kondo couplings are placed at or away from a Toulouse point.
