Abstract

It is shown on the basis of the multiplicative renormalization-group method of two-loop order that the low-energy effective Hamiltonian of a strongly coupled local electron-phonon system is mapped to the two-channel Kondo model. A phonon is treated as an Einstein oscillator with restricted Hilbert space such that up to one-phonon process is taken into account. By eliminating the high energy process of conduction electrons, it is shown that a certain class of couplings between ion vibrations and conduction electrons is selectively grown up. As a result the system is reduced to the two-channel Kondo model. The crossover temperature TKT_{\rm K} and the renormalized phonon frequency Δx\Delta^{x} are expressed in terms of the mass ratio m/Mm/M, mm and MM being the mass of electron and ion, and the electron-phonon coupling g/Dg/D, DD being half the bandwidth of conduction electrons. The anomalous behaviors associated with this renormalization can be mesuarable if the condition TK>ΔxT_{\rm K}>\Delta^{x} is fulfilled. It is demonstrated that such condition is satisfied when g/Dg/D is sufficiently large but in a realistic range.
