Anderson impurity in pseudo-gap Fermi systems

We use the numerical renormalization group method to study an Anderson impurity in a conduction band with the density of states varying as with r > 0. We find two different fixed points: a local-moment fixed point with the impurity effectively decoupled from the band and a strong-coupling fixed point with a partially screened impurity spin. The specific heat and the spin susceptibility show power-law behaviour with different exponents in the strong-coupling and local-moment regimes. We also calculate the impurity spectral function which diverges (vanishes) with in the strong-coupling (local-moment) regime.
