SPECTRAL PROPERTIES OF THE GENERALISED SPIN-FERMION MODELS

Abstract

In order to account for competition and interplay of localized and itinerant magnetic behaviour in correlated many body systems with complex spectra the various types of spin-fermion models have been considered in the context of the Irreducible Green's Functions (IGF) approach. Examples are generalised d–f model and Kondo–Heisenberg model. The calculations of the quasiparticle excitation spectra with damping for these models has been performed in the framework of the equation-of-motion method for two-time temperature Green's Functions within a non-perturbative approach. A unified scheme for the construction of Generalised Mean Fields (elastic scattering corrections) and self-energy (inelastic scattering) in terms of the Dyson equation has been generalised in order to include the presence of the two interacting subsystems of localised spins and itinerant electrons. A general procedure is given to obtain the quasiparticle damping in a self-consistent way. This approach gives the complete and compact description of quasiparticles and show the flexibility and richness of the generalised spin-fermion model concept.
