Static and dynamical properties of a magnetic impurity in a strongly correlated electronic system

Abstract

Using numerical techniques we study the zero temperature properties of a substitutional magnetic impurity in a one-dimensional correlated system described by the Hubbard model with repulsive interaction $U$. We find that, while the static spin correlation maintains a $2k_F$ periodicity, the charge correlations show Friedel oscillations with a $4k_F$ periodicity for large values of $U$. The static on-site susceptibility decreases as the interactions in the chain are turned on and we interpret this as an increase of the Kondo temperature. For large values of $U$ the short range antiferromagnetic correlations dominate over the collective Kondo singlet formation.
