Magnetism in the Dilute Kondo Lattice Model

Abstract

The one-dimensional dilute Kondo lattice model is investigated by means of bosonization for different dilution patterns of the array of impurity spins. The physical picture is very different if a commensurate or incommensurate doping of the impurity spins is considered. For the commensurate case, the obtained phase diagram is vertified using a non-Abelian density-matrix renormalization-group algorithm. The paramagnetic phase widens at the expense of the ferromagnetic phase as thef spins are diluted. For the incommensurate case, short-range antiferromagnetic correlations are found to dominate at low doping, which distinguishes the dilute Kondo lattice model from the standard Kondo lattice model.
