Bulk metallic glass (BMG) provides plentiful precise knowledge of fundamental parameters
of elastic moduli, which offer a benchmark reference point for understanding and …

Since the discovery by Steglich et al.(1979) of superconductivity in the high-effective-mass
(∼ 200 me) electrons in Ce Cu 2 Si 2, the search for and characterization of such" heavy …

It is observed that the ratio, A/γ 2, has a common value of 1.0× 10− 5 μωcm (mole K/mJ) 2 for
all of the heavy Fermion compounds, where A is the coefficient of the quadratic term in the …

The authors employ a functional integral approach to the Coqblin-Schreiffer Hamiltonian,
similar to that of Yoshimori and Sakurai (YS-1970) for the Kondo Hamiltonian, except that a …

The heavy fermion semiconductors, or Kondo insulators, are very narrow gap
semiconductors in which the properties show unusual temperature dependencies. We shall …

Magnetic ions embedded in a nonmagnetic host exhibit a number of unusual low-
temperature properties known collectively as the Kondo effect. Conventional small …

Suitable for researchers and graduate students in physics and material science," Physical
Acoustics in the Solid State" reviews the modern aspects in the field, including many …

The free energy stabilizing the Kondo singlet state is shown to be important in the total-
energy and stability conditions for cerium and related solids. Explicit calculations are given …

Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and scanning tunneling microscopy
(STM) have become indispensable tools in the study of correlated quantum materials. Both …

Lanthanides in the trivalent oxidation state are typically described using an ionic picture that
leads to localized magnetic moments. The hierarchical energy scales associated with …
