The Kondo effect is a prototypical quantum phenomenon arising from the interaction between localized electrons in a magnetic impurity and itinerant electrons in a metallic host. Although it has served as the testing ground for quantum…
We study a generalized Kondo model in which a spin-1/2 impurity is coupled to a conduction band by both s-d exchange and potential interactions. A strong potential scattering is shown to screen an exchange scattering, and the Kondo…
Recently there has been a resurgence of intense experimental and theoretical interest on the Kondo physics of nanoscopic and mesoscopic systems due to the possibility of making experiments in extremely small samples. We have carried out…
An elementary introduction to perturbative renormalization and renormalization group is presented. No prior knowledge of field theory is necessary because we do not refer to a particular physical theory. We are thus able to disentangle what…
The nature of unconventional superconductivity is intimately linked to the microscopic nature of the pairing interactions. In this work, motivated by cubic heavy fermion compounds with embedded multipolar moments, we theoretically…
The large-degeneracy expansion for dilute magnetic alloys is extended to account for conduction electrons interactions. Particular attention is paid to the renormalization of the hybridization vertex which affects the low-energy…
Quantum systems characterized by an interplay between several resonance scattering channels demonstrate very rich physics. To illustrate it we consider a multistage Kondo effect in nanodevices as a paradigmatic model for a multimode…
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 $n$. The corresponding…
Conductance measurements of a molecular wire, contacted between an epitaxial molecule-metal bond and the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope, are reported. Controlled retraction of the tip gradually de-hybridizes the molecule from the…
We carry out a field-theoretical renormalization group procedure based on the Callan-Symanzik equation to calculate the detailed flow for the (multi) two-channel Kondo model and its compactified versions. In doing so, we go beyond the…
These lecture notes give a brief introduction to heavy fermion physics, emphasizing aspects of particular modern interest. Following an introduction to the Kondo effect and the phenomenology of heavy fermions, the article introduces Kondo…
We give a brief review of the Kondo effect in a one-dimensional interacting electron system, and present exact results for the impurity thermodynamic response based on conformal field theory.
When individual quantum spins are placed in close proximity to conducting substrates, the localized spin is coupled to the nearby itinerant conduction electrons via Kondo exchange. In the strong coupling limit this can result in the Kondo…
Particle-hole symmetry breaking perturbation in two-channel pseudospin Kondo problem is studied by the numerical renormalization-group method. It is shown that the repulsion between conduction electrons at the impurity site and the single…
Numerous correlated electron systems exhibit a strongly scale-dependent behavior. Upon lowering the energy scale, collective phenomena, bound states, and new effective degrees of freedom emerge. Typical examples include (i) competing…
We consider electrons confined to a quantum dot interacting antiferromagnetically with a spin-$\half$ Kondo impurity. The electrons also interact among themselves ferromagnetically with a dimensionless coupling $\tilde{J}$, where…
The Kondo effect is a universal phenomena observed in a variety of fermion systems containing a heavy impurity particle whose interaction is governed by the non-Abelian interaction. At extremely high density, I study the Kondo effect by…
Various uses of the renormalization group are examined.
Effective interactions can be obtained from a renormalization group analysis in two complementary ways. One can either explicitly integrate out higher energy modes or impose given conditions at low energies for a cut-off theory. While the…
Regularization and renormalization is discussed in the context of low-energy effective field theory treatments of two or more heavy particles (such as nucleons). It is desirable to regulate the contact interactions from the outset by…
