杂质三聚体的局域矩形成和近藤屏蔽

Local moment formation and Kondo screening in impurity trimers

Andrew K. Mitchell, Thomas F. Jarrold, Martin R. Galpin, David E. Logan

摘要:

我们从理论上研究了三个磁性杂质的三角形簇,与金属宿主的传导电子局部杂交。这样的簇是最容易表现出挫折感的--这是许多复杂分子系统的一个重要的共性特征,在这些系统中,不同的相互作用相互竞争。在这里,低能量的双重态的三聚体有利于有效的交换相互作用产生的强电子排斥在本地化的杂质轨道。宇称对称性保护这样的国家的水平交叉调整微观参数,而避免交叉出现在一般扭曲的情况下。在耦合到金属主机,行为被证明是非常丰富的,因为集体量子多体效应现在也竞争。特别是,在近藤屏蔽的费米液相中,杂质自由度在低温下被完全屏蔽,而简并的基态则持续存在于局部矩相中。局域阻挫驱动两者之间的量子相变,这可能是一阶或Kosterlitz无阻类型,取决于对称性。由于杂质三聚体的轨道结构,发现了不寻常的局部矩形成和近藤屏蔽机制。我们的结果是相关的三重量子点器件。该问题是研究的分析参数和数值重整化群的组合。

英文摘要:

We study theoretically a triangular cluster of three magnetic impurities, hybridizing locally with conduction electrons of a metallic host. Such a cluster is the simplest to exhibit frustration - an important generic feature of many complex molecular systems in which different interactions compete. Here, low-energy doublet states of the trimer are favored by effective exchange interactions produced by strong electronic repulsion in localized impurity orbitals. Parity symmetry protects a level-crossing of such states on tuning microscopic parameters, while an avoided crossing arises in the general distorted case. On coupling to a metallic host, the behavior is shown to be immensely rich, since collective quantum many-body effects now also compete. In particular, impurity degrees of freedom are totally screened at low temperatures in a Kondo-screened Fermi liquid phase, while degenerate ground states persist in a local moment phase. Local frustration drives the quantum phase transition between the two, which may be first order or of Kosterlitz-Thouless type, depending on symmetries. Unusual mechanisms for local moment formation and Kondo screening are found, due to the orbital structure of the impurity trimer. Our results are of relevance for triple quantum dot devices. The problem is studied by a combination of analytical arguments and the numerical renormalization group.
