Superconductivity in Heavy Fermion Compounds
The heavy electron state in intermetallic lanthanide and actinide compounds has its origin in the interplay of strong Coulomb repulsion in the 4fand 5fshells and their hybridisation with conduction band states. Heavy quasiparticles have mostly been observed in Ceand U-based intermetallics which are therefore at the focus of this review. Ideally the ground state in these strongly correlated elec...
متن کاملHybridization gap in heavy fermion compounds.
We report the results of optical studies of new heavy fermion compounds YbFe(4)Sb(12) and CeRu(4)Sb(12). We show that these compounds, as well as several other heavy fermion materials with a nonmagnetic ground state, obey a universal scaling relationship between the quasiparticle effective mass m(*) and the magnitude of the energy gap Delta in the excitation spectrum. This result is in accord w...
متن کاملQuasiparticle relaxation dynamics in heavy fermion compounds.
We present the first femtosecond studies of electron-phonon (e-ph) thermalization in heavy-fermion compounds. The e-ph thermalization time tau(ep) increases below the Kondo temperature by more than 2 orders of magnitude as T=0 K is approached. Analysis using the two-temperature model and numerical simulations based on Boltzmann's equations suggest that this anomalous slowing down of the e-ph th...
متن کاملBreakdown of the Fermi liquid theory in heavy fermion compounds
We review the anomalous properties of heavy fermion compounds like CeCu6−xAux or CeMIn5 close to a zero temperature phase transition called a quantum critical point. Anomalous behavior of the resistivity, specific heat and magnetic properties observed in various compounds suggests a fundamental breakdown of the Fermi liquid theory. Recent measurements on YbRh2Si2, field-tuned through the quantu...
متن کاملFirst-principles simulations of heavy fermion cerium compounds based on the Kondo lattice.
We propose a new framework for first-principles calculations of heavy-fermion materials. These are described in terms of the Kondo lattice Hamiltonian with the parameters extracted from a realistic density functional based calculation which is then solved using continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo method and dynamical mean field theory. As an example, we show our results for the Néel temperature...
