We obtain the conditions necessary for the emergence of various low-temperature ordered states (local-moment antiferromagnetism, unconventional superconductivity, quantum criticality, and Landau Fermi liquid behavior) in Kondo lattice materials by extending the two-fluid phenomenological theory of heavy-electron behavior to incorporate the concept of hybridization effectiveness. We use this expanded framework to present a new phase diagram and consistent physical explanation and quantitative description of measured emergent behaviors such as the pressure variation of the onset of local-moment antiferromagnetic ordering at T(N), the magnitude of the ordered moment, the growth of superconductivity within that ordered state, the location of a quantum critical point, and of a delocalization line in the pressure/temperature phase diagram at which local moments have disappeared and the heavy-electron Fermi surface has grown to its maximum size. We apply our model to CeRhIn(5) and a number of other heavy-electron materials and find good agreement with experiment.
我们通过将重电子行为的双流体唯象理论扩展到包含杂化有效性的概念,获得了 Kondo 晶格材料中各种低温有序态(局域磁矩反铁磁性、非常规超导性、量子临界点和朗道费米液体行为)出现的必要条件。我们使用这个扩展的框架,提出了一个新的相图,并对测量到的涌现行为,如 T(N)处局域磁矩反铁磁有序的起始压力变化、有序矩的大小、有序状态下超导的增长、量子临界点的位置以及在压力/温度相图中的局域磁矩消失且重电子费米面达到最大尺寸的离域线,给出了一个新的相图和一致的物理解释和定量描述。我们将我们的模型应用于 CeRhIn(5)和许多其他重电子材料,并发现与实验吻合良好。
