Strongly inhomogeneous phases and non-Fermi-liquid behavior in randomly depleted Kondo lattices
@article{Kaul2007StronglyIP, title={Strongly inhomogeneous phases and non-Fermi-liquid behavior in randomly depleted Kondo lattices}, author={Ribhu K. Kaul and Matthias Vojta}, journal={Physical Review B}, year={2007}, volume={75}, pages={132407} }
We investigate the low-temperature behavior of paramagnetic Kondo lattices upon random depletion of the local $f$ moments by using strong-coupling arguments and solving SU$(N)$ saddle-point equations on large lattices. For a large range of intermediate doping levels, between the coherent Fermi-liquid of the dense lattice and the single-impurity Fermi liquid of the dilute limit, we find strongly inhomogeneous states that exhibit distinct non-Fermi-liquid characteristics. The interplay of dopant…

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.

- PhysicsPhysical review letters

It is found that a large fraction of the magnetic moments are not quenched down to very low temperatures T, leading to a power-law distribution of Kondo temperatures P(T(K))∼T (K)(α-1), with a nonuniversal exponent α, in a remarkable similarity to the Kondo-disorder scenario found in disordered heavy-fermion metals.
