Abstract

The calculation of the Kondo cloud is extended to disordered hosts. For a weakly disordered, large three-dimensional host, the structure of the ground state is very close to the pure host. However, the range of the disordered electron basis is much shorter. The extention of the Kondo cloud is essentially given by \(\sqrt {\xi _{K}l}\) where ξ K is the Kondo length in the pure host and l is the mean free path.

Notes

  1. We arrive at the final Ψ S S by initially building the two fair states \(a_{0}^{\dagger }\) and \(b_{0}^{\dagger }\) out of the Wilson basis \(\left \{ c_{\nu }^{\dagger }\right \} \). The fair states define the full bases \(\left \{ a_{i}^{\dagger }\right \} \) and \(\left \{ b_{i}^{\dagger }\right \} \) uniquely. Then the energy expectation value of Ψ S S is calculated and the fair states \(a_{0}^{\dagger }\) and \(b_{0}^{\dagger }\) are varied until Ψ S S with the lowest energy is obtained. The initial \(a_{0}^{\dagger }\) and \(b_{0}^{\dagger }\) can be arbitrary but different. An educated guess reduces the variation time. Details are in ref. [5].
