Kondo Effect in Fermi Systems with a Gap: A Renormalization Group Study

Abstract

We present the results of a Wilson Renormalization Group study of the single-impurity Kondo and Anderson models in a system with a gap in the conduction electron spectrum. The behavior of the impurity susceptibility and the zero-frequency response function, $T<<S_z;S_z>>$ are discussed in the cases with and without particle-hole symmetry. In addition, for the asymmetric Anderson model the correlation functions, $<\vec{S}\cdot \vec{\sigma }(0)>$,$<n_d>$, and $<n_d(2-n_d)>$ are computed.
