In order to better understand Kondo insulators, we have studied both the symmetric and asymmetric Anderson lattices at half-filling in one dimension using the density matrix formulation of the numerical renormalization group. We have calculated the charge gap, spin gap and quasiparticle gap as a function of the repulsive interaction U using open boundary conditions for lattices as large as 24 sites. We find that the charge gap is larger than the spin gap for all U for both the symmetric and asymmetric cases. RKKY interactions are evident in the f-spin-f-spin correlation functions at large U in the symmetric case, but are suppressed in the asymmetric case as the f-level approaches the Fermi energy. This suppression can also be seen in the staggered susceptibility and it is consistent with neutron scattering measurements in CeNiSn.
