Nonequilibrium Dynamics of a Periodically-driven Impurity Spin Coupled to the Bath of Ultracold Fermions by Kondo Coupling

AbstractThe dynamics of the anisotropic Kondo model under the periodic driving is studied. The periodic driving we consider is the local magnetic field which couples with the impurity spin and the in-plane exchange interaction. At the special point in the parameter space (Toulouse limit), the anisotropic Kondo model can be transformed to the non-interacting resonant level model and thereby the exact results for arbitrary external fields can be obtained. It is shown that characteristic behavior of the dynamics changes with the field intensity, the field frequency, and the Kondo temperature. When the local magnetic field intensity is very large compared with the field frequency and the Kondo temperature, the time dependence of the impurity spin and the spin density of the fermionic bath shows an oscillation whose period is inversely proportional to the field intensity. We also find that another time scale, which is given by the inverse of the Kondo temperature, governs the response of the system to the external field
