RKKY Interaction in a One-Dimensional Crystal Taking into Account Disorder and Temperature

An analytical expression for the energy of indirect exchange interaction of two magnetic impurities in a one-dimensional crystal has been obtained taking into account both disorder and temperature. The inclusion of even a weak disorder in a one-dimensional crystal leads to the localization of charge carriers in it and, as a result, to the suppression of the long-range indirect exchange interaction (RKKY interaction) between two magnetic impurities at the localization length of charge carriers. An increase in the temperature, in turn, causes the disappearance of electron density coherence, which provides the RKKY interaction. It has been shown that these two effects are independent of each other and exponentially suppress the exchange interaction with an increase in the distance between the impurities. Another important manifestation of disorder is a change in the power dependence on the distance between the impurities: the RKKY interaction decreases with distance faster than 1/ r .
