The influence of substitutional disorder on the transport properties of heavy-fermion systems is investigated. We extend the dynamical mean-field theory treatment of the periodic Anderson model (PAM) to a coherent-potential approximation for disordered strongly correlated electron systems. Considering two distinct local environments of a binary alloy ${A}_{c}{B}_{1\ensuremath{-}c}$ with arbitrary concentration $c$, we explore two types of disorder: on the $f$ site and on the ligand sites. We…

This work identifies and characterize two different Fermi-liquid regimes and proposes that both regimes are separated by a Lifshitz transition at x=n(c), which could provide a scenario for the non-Fermi liquid properties that were recently observed in Kondo alloy systems.

The thermal conductance of the T-shaped double quantum dot strongly coupled to two ferromagnetic leads fulfills a modified Wiedemann-Franz law, also in the regime of suppression of subsequent stages of the Kondo effect by the exchange field resulting from the presence of ferromagnets.

It is shown that the experimental results not only depend on a volume effect as given by the compressible Kondo lattice model of Lavagna but in addition confirm the more complex behaviour recently presented by Burdin and Fulde for a Kondo alloy system in which the magnetic and non-magnetic atoms are distributed randomly.
