QUANTUM MONTE CARLO SIMULATION STUDY OF ONE-DIMENSIONAL PERIODIC ANDERSON MODEL

Abstract

Many rare earth and actinide intermetallics, known as Heavy Fermion Systems, have recently been successfully described by the Periodic Anderson Model. We investigate, in this work, various electronic and magnetic properties of the one-dimensional Periodic Anderson model using path integral formulation along with the quantum Monte Carlo simulation technique. We have studied the singlet and triplet pairing correlation functions, nearest neighbor charge-density correlations, spin density correlations, local squared magnetic moment and probability of double occupancy of f-electrons, as a function of intra-atomic Coulomb interaction for various values of hybridization parameter and the temperatures.
