Abstract

The one-dimensional Kondo lattice model (1D KLM) is usually defined by the Kondo exchange J between conduction electrons and spins of the array, and the hopping strength t for the moving electrons. Here, we also include a direct exchange K term between spins of the lattice, and we investigate situations where the bare value of K does not exceed J. By using the non-Abelian bosonization, we show that a coherent heavy-fermion phase can be stabilized, when the bare value of K exceeds the RKKY exchange (ruled by TA J2/t). Conversely, when K<TA, the low-energy fixed point is rather a Tomonaga-Luttinger (TL) liquid.
