T=0 Phase Diagram of the Double-Exchange Model

Abstract

We present the T=0 phase diagram of the double-exchange model (ferromagnetic Kondo lattice model) for all values of the carrier concentration nn and Hund's couplng JJ, within dynamical mean field theory. We find that depending on the values of nn and JJ, the ground state is either a ferromagnet, a commensurate antiferromagnet or some other incommensurate phase with intermediate wave vectors . The antiferromagnetic phase is separated by first order phase boundaries and wide regimes of phase separation. The transition from the ferromagnetic phase to an incommensurate phase is second order.

4 pages, 5 figures. The analysis now includes incommensurate phases with arbitrary wave vectors. Correspondingly, the figures have been changed
