Itinerant vs Localized Heavy-Electron Magnetism    [PDF]

Shintaro Hoshino, Yoshio Kuramoto
It is demonstrated that itinerant-localized transition of heavy electrons occurs inside the magnetically ordered phase of the Kondo-Heisenberg lattice. The phase diagram and electronic structure are derived by means of the continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo combined with the dynamical mean-field theory. Around the itinerant-localized transition, nearly flat bands appear on the Fermi surface with almost vanishing quasi-particle renormalization factor. At the same time, there emerges a strong local magnetic fluctuation with a minute energy scale. Considering both antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic Heisenberg interactions, coherent understanding is achieved on rich phase diagrams observed in CeRh$_{1-x}$Co$_x$In$_5$, CeRu$_2$(Si$_x$Ge$_{1-x}$)$_2$, UGe$_2$ and CeT$_2$Al$_{10}$ (T=Fe,Ru,Os).
