Stability of insulating phase in the chiral Kondo lattice model
Abstract
In this work, the stability of the insulating phase of the 1D chiral Kondo lattice model is studied at half-filling, within the framework of self-consistent variational theory. It is found that arbitrarily small interaction would drive the system from a conducting phase to an insulating phase, in spite of the chirality of the conducting band.
