Variational local moment approach to Kondo effect in the multi-orbital Anderson impurity model — •Anna Kauch1 and Krzysztof Byczuk2 — 1Theoretical Physics III, Center for Electronic Correlations and Magnetism, Institute of Physics, University of Augsburg, D-86135 Augsburg, Germany — 2Institute of Theoretical Physics, Faculty of Physics, Warsaw University, Hoza 69, PL-00-681 Warszawa, Poland
The recently developed [1,2] variational local moment approach (VLMA) to the single impurity Anderson model is presented. We focus on the application of the method to the multi-orbital impurity model in various regions of parameters where different types of Kondo effects can occur. The application of VLMA to the multi-orbital Hubbard model as an impurity solver of the dynamical mean-field theory equations is also addressed.
The method is based on assuming the existence of local moments – following the single orbital local moment approach of D. Logan [3]. The values of the local moments are obtained within VLMA by minimizing the ground state energy of the system.
