چکیده

The evolution of the Kondo effect and antiferromagnetic (AF) correlations with size reduction in CePt2 nanoparticles (3.1-26 nm) is studied by analysis of the temperature-dependent specific heat and magnetic susceptibility. The AF correlations diminish with size reduction. The Kondo effect predominates at small particle size with trivalent, small Kondo temperature (TK) magnetic regions coexisting with strongly mixed-valent, large TK nonmagnetic regions. We discuss the role of structural disorder, background density of states and the electronic quantum size effect on the results.

 Quantum phases and fluctuations in correlated electron systems with frustration and competing interactions are reviewed. In the localized moment case the S=1/2 J1 - J2 - model on a square lattice exhibits a rich phase diagram with magnetic as well as exotic hidden order phases due to the interplay of frustration and quantum fluctuations. Their signature in magnetocaloric quantities and the hig...

HOW THE KONDO EFFECT CAN EXIST IN Gd INTERMETALLIC COMPOUNDS

Based on the crystal and magnetic structural properties of some Gd intermetallic compounds, it is shown that with increasing conduction electron concentration, Gd experiences electronic and magnetic instability, and that these behaviors point to the appearance of Kondo Lattice. We suggest that the conduction electrons have gained local character. It is shown that Kondo effect should be observed...

Revisited Doniach diagram: Influence of short-range antiferromagnetic correlations in the Kondo lattice

The Kondo lattice model including nearest-neighbor magnetic exchange interactions is studied here in a mean-field approximation describing both the Kondo state and the intersite magnetic correlations. In the case of antiferromagnetic correlations, our model yields a decrease of the Kondo temperature compared to the one-impurity value, giving, therefore, a ‘‘revisited’’ version of the Doniach di...

Tuning the Magnetism of Ordered and Disordered Strongly-correlated Electron Nanoclusters

Recently, there has been a resurgence of intense experimental and theoretical interest on the Kondo physics of nanoscopic and mesoscopic systems due to the possibility of making experiments in extremely small samples. We have carried out exact diagonalization calculations to study the effect of energy spacing ∆ in the conduction band states, hybridization, number of electrons, and disorder on t...
