Abstract

We show that the correlated electrons in low dimensional rare earth alloys give rise to a ferromagnetic phase in the intermediate doping regime. The ferromagnetism is due to double exchange mechanism. To show this, we bosonize the one-dimensional periodic Anderson model in Toulouse limit. We obtain two transitions into a ferromagnetic phase, both are quantum order–disorder transitions of the quantum transverse field Ising type. This reflects double exchange-ordered regions of correlated spins being gradually destroyed as the coupling to the conduction electrons is reduced. We also give a comprehensive description of the properties of the ferromagnetic phase and calculate the critical behavior of the phase transitions.

Notes

  1. For an exponential cut-off Λα (k) = exp(−α|k|) these functions take the form δ α (x) = (1/π) [α/(α 2+x 2)], sgn[α](x) = (2/π) arctan(x/α)
