Abstract
The periodic Anderson model for a lattice of magnetic ions is investigated in Hartree-Fock approximation. Attention is paid to different solutions of the self-consistency equations corresponding to ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic ordering of the local magnetic moments. The effect of hybridization leading to reduced magnetic moments strongly depends on the position of the localizedf levels relative to the conduction band. For paramagnetic solutions with a non-integer value for thef level occupation number comparison is made with properties of intermediate valence rare earth compounds. The mean-field results for the susceptibility and specific heat agree with essential features found for these substances.
