Spin-spin correlations between two Kondo impurities coupled to an open Hubbard chain

In order to study the interplay between Kondo and Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida interaction, we calculate the spin-spin correlation functions between two Kondo impurities coupled to different sites of a half-filled open Hubbard chain. Using the density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG), we reexami...

Sumario:In order to study the interplay between Kondo and Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida interaction, we calculate the spin-spin correlation functions between two Kondo impurities coupled to different sites of a half-filled open Hubbard chain. Using the density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG), we reexamine the exponents for the power-law decay of the correlation function between the two impurity spins as a function of the antiferromagnetic coupling J , the Hubbard interaction U , and the distance R between the impurities. The exponents for finite systems obtained in this work deviate from previously published DMRG calculations. We furthermore show that the long-distance behavior of the exponents is the same for impurities coupled to the bulk or to both ends of the chain. We note that a universal exponent for the asymptotic behavior can not be extracted from these finite-size systems with open boundary conditions.
