Phase Structures of Magnetic Impurity Models with Two-Body Hybridization

Condensed Matter 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

The most general model with a magnetic impurity coupled to hybridizing and screening channels of a conduction band is considered. The partition function of the system is asymptotically equivalent to that of the multi-component kink plasma with a weak external field. The scaling properties of the models for finite UU are sketched by using the Anderson-Yuval-Hamann-Cardy poor man's scaling theory. We point out that it is proper to include a two-body hybridization in order to obtain correct renormalization flows. The phase structures are studied graphically for the general model and various reduced models. A Fermi-non-Fermi liquid phase transition is found for all the models. We also show all possible phases with different finite temperature behaviors though they have the same Fermi liquid fixed point at low temperature. We also discuss the fixed point behaviors in the mixed valence state regime.
