Transport properties of the Anderson lattice

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

Transport properties including electrical resistivity, thermoelectric power, Lorenz number and a.c. conductivity are evaluated in an approximate fashion for the Anderson lattice model for six-fold degenerate Ce ions. Coherence (Bloch's theorem) is explicitly included while the effects of intersite interactions which may be responsible for magnetic and superconducting instabilities are neglected. The calculations utilize the AverageT-matrix Approximation (ATA) with the self-consistent Non-Crossing Approximation (NCA) perturbation theory employed to give the single siteT-matrix estimate. The resistivity peaks near the characteristic Kondo temperatureT 0, with high temperature logarithmic decrease and low temperatureT 2 behavior. The thermoelectric power is positive and similar to the impurity result except for low temperatures; sign changes in the thermopower are in principle possible with momentum dependent hybridization. Frequency and temperature dependent optical conductivity calculations are in qualitative agreement with experimental data, although a suitably defined optical effective mass and scattering rate do not agree at least for large orbital degeneracy. The behavior of these latter quantities is qualitatively different for twofold degeneracy. Unanswered questions arising from the experimental literature are summarized.

  79. In the second article of [61] our result for the local self-energy can be obtained by recognizing that the second terms of (4.36) and (4.38) in that reference must vanish sincef σσ , (k, k′) andT 22 (k, k′) are independent of the directions. It may well be that this local limit represents a singular one in that any momentum dependence in the self-energy and interaction function, treated self-consistently, will restore the necessity of Umklapp scattering (c.f. Sect. 6 of this reference)
