Quasiparticle dynamics in the Kondo lattice model at half filling
/ Authors
/ Abstract
We study spectral properties of quasiparticles in the Kondo lattice model in one and two dimensions including the coherent quasiparticle dispersions, their spectral weights, and the full two-quasiparticle spectrum using a cluster expansion scheme. We investigate the evolution of the quasiparticle band as antiferromagnetic correlations are enhanced towards the RKKY limit of the model. In both the one- and two-dimensional models we find that a repulsive interaction between quasiparticles results in a distinct antibound state above the two-quasiparticle continuum. The repulsive interaction is correlated with the emerging antiferromagnetic correlations and can therefore be associated with spin fluctuations. On the square lattice, the antibound state has an extended $s$-wave symmetry.
