Inexorable Edge Kondo Breakdown in Topological Kondo Insulators

Résumé

Kondo breakdown is one of the most intriguing problems in strongly correlated electron systems, as it is rooted in many anomalous electron behaviors found in heavy-fermion materials. In Kondo lattice systems, Kondo breakdown can arise from either strong magnetic frustrations or critical fluctuations of collective modes. Here, we reveal a new type of Kondo breakdown with a fully different origin in interacting topological Kondo insulators. By employing numerically exact quantum Monte Carlo simulations, we show that with open boundary conditions, Kondo screening is inexorably destroyed by interaction effects on edges or corners in these systems. We argue that the Kondo breakdown is enforced by the symmetries of the system, because the ground states are symmetry protected Haldane phases.
