Transport Properties of the One Dimensional Ferromagnetic Kondo Lattice Model : A Qualitative Approach to Oxide Manganites

TL;DR

This paper uses bosonization to analyze the transport properties of the one-dimensional ferromagnetic Kondo lattice model, revealing different resistivity behaviors in paramagnetic and ferromagnetic regimes relevant to oxide manganites.

Contribution

It provides a qualitative bosonization-based analysis explicitly incorporating antiferromagnetic fluctuations in the 1D ferromagnetic Kondo lattice model, connecting results to oxide manganites.

Findings

Resistivity decays exponentially with temperature in the paramagnetic regime.

The system behaves as an almost perfect conductor in the ferromagnetic regime.

Weak fields cause band splitting similar to ferromagnetic states.

Abstract

The transport properties of the ferromagnetic Kondo lattice model in one dimension are studied via bosonization methods. The antiferromagnetic fluctuations, which normally appear because of the RKKY interactions, are explicitly taken into account as a direct exchange between the ``core'' spins. It is shown that in the paramagnetic regime with the local antiferromagnetic fluctuations, the resistivity decays exponentially as the temperature increases while in the ferromagnetic regime the system is an almost perfect conductor. %A non-perturbative description of localized spin polarons %in the paramagnetic region is obtained. The effect of a weak applied field is discussed to be reduced to the case of the ferromagnetic state leading to band splitting. The qualitative relevance of the results for the problem of the Oxide Manganites is emphasized.
