Anderson model with no hybridization

In summary, the conversation discusses the Anderson model in its non-interacting limit with U=0 and the effects of changing the hybridization term to a non-conserving particle number term. The question is whether a resonance peak would still be observed in the impurity density of states. The suggestion is to use a Bogolyubov transformation to diagonalize the Hamiltonian.

Hi guys, I wass recently thinking about the Anderson model in its non-interacting limit U=0. I ommit spin in the following and then the hamiltonian is

[tex]H_{0} + \varepsilon_{0}d^{\dagger}d + \sum_{k} V_{k}c_{k}^{\dagger}d + \text{h.c} [/tex]

It is well know that due to the hybridization term V, a resonance of width ~ V^2 happens in the density of states of the impurity site. But suppose this term

[tex] \sum_{k} V_{k}c_{k}^{\dagger}d + \text{h.c} [/tex]

is now changed to the term:

[tex] \sum_{k} V_{k}c_{k}^{\dagger}d^{\dagger} + \text{h.c} [/tex]

i.e., particle number is NOT conserved in this modified Anderson hamiltonian at U=0. Would we still observe a resonance peak at the impurity density of states? The physics of such term are a bit unclear to me since it does not represent an hybridization term properly speaking, Thanks!

Perhaps you could try a Bogolyubov transformation to diagonalise the hamiltonian.
 

1. What is the Anderson model with no hybridization?

The Anderson model with no hybridization is a theoretical model commonly used in condensed matter physics to describe the behavior of electrons in a solid material. It assumes that there is no interaction between the localized electrons and delocalized electrons in the material, and that the localized electrons do not interact with each other.

2. How does the Anderson model with no hybridization differ from the standard Anderson model?

The standard Anderson model includes a term for hybridization, which represents the interaction between localized and delocalized electrons. In the Anderson model with no hybridization, this term is set to zero, simplifying the model and making it easier to study the behavior of localized electrons in isolation.

3. What is the importance of studying the Anderson model with no hybridization?

The Anderson model with no hybridization allows scientists to gain a better understanding of the behavior of localized electrons in materials. This is important because localized electrons can have a significant impact on the material's properties, such as its electrical conductivity and magnetic behavior.

4. Can the Anderson model with no hybridization be applied to real-world materials?

Yes, the Anderson model with no hybridization can be used to study the behavior of localized electrons in various materials, including metals, insulators, and semiconductors. However, it is important to note that the model is a simplification and may not fully capture all the complexities of the actual material.

5. What are some potential limitations of the Anderson model with no hybridization?

One limitation of the Anderson model with no hybridization is that it does not take into account the effects of electron-electron interactions. In some materials, these interactions can play a significant role in the behavior of localized electrons. Additionally, the model assumes that the localized electrons are completely isolated, which may not always be the case in real materials.
