#1] The Kondo Effect: Experimentally Driven 1930/34; Theoretically Explained 1965 as magnetic impurities in non-magnetic metals. Low temperature resistivity minimum in AuFe and CuFe alloys. Increased scattering. Strange decrease of low temperature susceptibility, deviation from Curie-Weiss law. Disappearance of magnetism. Broad maximum in specific heat. Accumulation of entropy. Not a phase transition but a crossover behavior! Virtual bond state of impurity in metal. Magnetic or non-magnetic? s – d exchange model forĤsd= ΣJ s ·S Kondo’s calculation (1965) using perturbation theory for ρ. Wilson’s renormalization group method (1974) and χ(T)/C(T) ratio. Bethe ansatz theory (1981) for χ, M and C: thermodynamics. Modern Kondo behavior: Quantum dots, Kondo resonance & lattice.
Interaction between localized impurity spin and conduction electrons – temperature dependent.Many body physics, strongly correlated electron phenomena yet Landau Fermi liquid. Not a phase transition but crossover in temperature
Kondo effect: scattering of conduction electron on a magnetic imputity via a spin-flip (many-body) process. Kondo cloud
Magnetic resistivity Δρ(T) = ρmag(T) + ρ0 = ρtotal(T)- ρphon(T) AuFe alloys. Note increasing ρ0 and ρ(max) as concentration is increased
Concentration scaled magnetic resistivity Δρ(T)/c vs lnT CuAuFe alloys.Note lnT dependences (Kondo) and deviations from Matthiessen’s rule.
Now Δρspin/c vs ln(T/TK) corrected for DM’sR Note decades of logarithmic behavior in T/TK and low T 0 Δρspin/c = ρun[1 – (T/TK)2], i.e., Fermi liquid behavior of Kondo effect
Quantum dots – mesoscopically fabricated, tunneling of single electrons from contact reservoir controlled by gate voltage This is Kondo!
Schematic energy diagram of a dot with one spin-degenerate energy level Ɛ0 occupied by a single electron; U is the single-electron charging energy, and ΓL and ΓR give the tunnel couplings to the left and right leads. S M Cronenwett et al., Science 281(1998) 540.
Quantized conductance vs temperature Gate voltage is used to tune TK; measurements at 50 to 1000 mK.
Inverse susceptibility (χ= M/H) scaled with the concentration for CuMn with TK = 10-3K
Inverse susceptibility and concentration scaled inverse susceptibility (c/χi)for CuFe with TK = 30K XXXX CuFe
Excess specific heat ΔC/c on logarithmic scaleCuCr alloyswith TK = 1K
Place a 3d (4f) impurity in a noble (non-magnetic) metal Virtual bound state (vbs) model-See V.Shenoy lecture notes

U splits the up and down vbs’, note different DOS’ Net magnetic moment of non-half integral spin U
1st order perturbation theory processes ●S(S+1) Spin disorder scattering
Clean resistivity experiments on known concentrations of magnetic impurities, AuFe withTK = 0.5 K.
Wilson renormalization group method (1974): scaletransformation of Kondo Hamiltonian to be diagonalized Spherical wave packets localized around impurity Shell parameter Λ > 1; E~Λ-n/2 for n states Calculate via numerical iteration χ(T) as a universal function and C(T) over entire T-range Lim(T0): χ(T)/[C(T)/T] =3R(gµB)2/(2∏kB)2 Wilson ratio R = 2 for Kondo, 1 for heavy fermions Determination of Kondo temperature TK = D|2Jρ|1/2exp{-1/2Jρ} where J is exchange coupling and ρ the host metal density of states K. Wilson, RMP 47(1975)773.
Bethe Ansatz (1980’s) - Andrei et al., RMP 55, 331(1983). “Bethe ansatz” method for finding exact solution of quantum many-body Kondo Hamiltonian in 1D. Many body wave function is symmetrized product of one-body wave functions. Eigenvalue problem. Allows for exact (diagonalization) solution of thermodynamic propertries: χ, M and C as fct(T,H). Does not give the transport properties, e.g. ρ(T,H). “1D” Fermi surface TK << D
Impurity susceptibility χi(T) Agrees withexperiment Low T χiis constant: Fermi liquid; C-W law at high T with To ≈ TK
Impurity magnetization as fct(H) Agrees with experiment M ~ H at low H; M free moment at large H (Kondo effect broken)
Specific heat vs log(T/TK)for different spin values Agrees with experiment Note reduced CiV as the impurity spin increases.
Kondo cloud - wave packet but what happens with a Kondo lattice? Never unambiguously found!
Kondo resonance - how to detect? Photoemission spectroscopy (PES) Still controversial
Kondo effect ( Kondo lattice) gives an introduction to forthcoming topics, e.g., SG, GMR, HF; QPT. • #1 Kondo effect • #2 Spin glasses • #3 Giant magnetoresistance • #4 Magnetoelectrics and multiferroics • #5 High temperature superconductivity • #6 Applications of superconductivity • #7 Heavy fermions • #8 Hidden order in URu2Si2 • #9 Modern experimental methods in correlated electron systems • #10 Quantum phase transitions
