Low-temperature magnetic properties of the Kondo lattice model in one dimension (1409.0962v2)

Abstract: Low-temperature magnetic properties of the one-dimensional Kondo-lattice model with classical localized spins are investigated by means of a Monte Carlo simulation combined with an exact diagonalization technique. Comparative simulations are also made for the RKKY classical Heisenberg model known to be perturbatively derived in the weak-coupling limit. In addition to the previously identified antiferromagnetic, ferromagnetic and coplanar helical phases, the chiral noncoplanar phase and the collinear phases of the period-4 and 6 are newly identified, neither of which is realized in the corresponding RKKY model. The period-4 collinear phase persists even in the weak-coupling limit at the 1/4- and 3/4-fillings, invalidating the perturbative approach at these fillings.
