Indirect RKKY interaction in any dimensionality

Strongly Correlated Electrons 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

We present an analytical method which enables one to find the exact spatial dependence of the indirect RKKY interaction between the localized moments via the conduction electrons for the arbitrary dimensionality nn. The corresponding momentum dependence of the Lindhard function is exactly found for any nn as well. Demonstrating the capability of the method we find the RKKY interaction in a system of metallic layers weakly hybridized to each other. Along with usual 2kF2k_F in-plane oscillations the RKKY interaction has the sign-reversal character in a direction perpendicular to layers, thus favoring the antiferromagnetic type of layers' stacking.
