1302.3682 (Hong Chul Choi et al.)

Precursor of the Kondo resonance band in the heavy fermion system    [PDF]

Hong Chul Choi, K. Haule, G. Kotliar, B. I. Min, J. H. Shim
We have investigated the formation of the Kondo resonance (KR) band and the hybridization gap (HG) in the heavy fermion compound CeCoGe2, using a combined approach of the density functional theory (DFT) and the dynamical mean field theory (DMFT). Low temperature (T) spec-tral functions show dispersive KR states, similarly to the recent experimental observation. During the evolution from the nonf conduction band state at high T to the dispersive KR band state at low T, which have topologically different band shapes, we have found the existence of kinks in the spectral function near EF . The observation of kink is clearly in correspondence with the multiple temperature scale of the formation of the KR band. We suggest that the detailed analysis on the abrupt change of electron velocity and the scattering rate near the Fermi level will provide crucial information for the heavy fermion system.
