Anisotropic intermediate valence in Yb2Rh3Ga9
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report measurements of the inelastic neutron scattering spectrum for the anisotropic intermediate valence system Yb2Rh3Ga9. Calculations for the Anderson impurity model with crystal field terms within an approach based on the non-crossing approximation have been performed for the inelastic neutron scattering spectrum as well as other thermodynamic quantities. These results corroborate the importance of crystal field effects in these materials. They also suggest that Anderson lattice effects are important to the physics of Yb2Rh3Ga9. r 2006 Elsevier B.V.

Entropically patchy particles: engineering valence through shape entropy.
Patchy particles are a popular paradigm for the design and synthesis of nanoparticles and colloids for self-assembly. In "traditional" patchy particles, anisotropic interactions arising from patterned coatings, functionalized molecules, DNA, and other enthalpic means create the possibility for directional binding of particles into higher-ordered structures. Although the anisotropic geometry of ...
متن کاملDispersion of Torsional Surface Wave in a Pre-Stressed Heterogeneous Layer Sandwiched Between Anisotropic Porous Half-Spaces Under Gravity
The study of surface waves in a layered media has their viable application in geophysical prospecting. This paper presents an analytical study on the dispersion of torsional surface wave in a pre-stressed heterogeneous layer sandwiched between a pre-stressed anisotropic porous semi-infinite medium and gravitating anisotropic porous half-space. The non-homogeneity within the intermediate layer a...

We study ground state properties of the S = 2 quantum antiferromagnetic chain with a uniaxially anisotropic Hamiltonian: H = ∑ j [Sj ·Sj+1+D(S z j ) 2] by a Monte Carlo calculation. While it has been reported that a string order parameter vanishes exponentially at the isotropic Heisenberg point (D = 0), we found it tends to remain finite in the thermodynamic limit around D = 1.2. This implies t...
متن کاملCompetition between phase separation and "Classical" intermediate valence in an exactly solved model
The exact solution of the spin-1 / 2 Falicov-Kimball model on an infinite-coordination Bethe lattice is analyzed in the regime of "classical" intermediate valence. We find that (i) either phase separation or a direct metal-insulator transition precludes intermediate valence over a large portion of the phase diagram, and (ii) within the intermediate valence phase, only continuous transitions are...
متن کاملq-DEFORMATIONS OF QUANTUM SPIN CHAINS WITH EXACT VALENCE-BOND GROUND STATES
Quantum spin chains with exact valence-bond ground states are of great interest in condensed-matter physics. A class of such models was proposed by Affleck et al., each of which is su(2)-invariant and constructed as a sum of projectors onto definite total spin states at neighbouring sites. We propose to use the machinery of the q-deformation of su(2) to obtain generalisations of such models, an...
