Antiferromagnetic phases of the Kondo lattice
Abstract
We discuss the paramagnetic and Néel-ordered phases of the Kondo lattice Hamiltonian on the two-dimensional square lattice by means of bond fermions. In the doped case we find two antiferromagnetic solutions, the first one with small ordered moment, heavy bands, and an antiferromagnetically folded large Fermi surface—i.e., including the localized spins—the second one with large ordered moment, light bands, and an antiferromagnetically folded conduction electron-only Fermi surface. The zero temperature phase diagram as a function of Kondo coupling and conduction electron density shows first- and second-order transition lines between the three different phases and agrees qualitatively with previous numerical studies. We compare to experiments on CeRh1 -xCoxIn5 and find qualitative agreement.
