Unconventional Non-Fermi Liquid Properties of Two-Channel Anderson Impurities System

Abstract

A theory for treating the unconventional non-Fermi liquid temperature dependence of physical quantities, such as the resistivity, in the Pr-based two-channel Anderson impurities system is developed. It is shown that their temperature dependences are essentially the same as those in the pure lattice system except for the case of extremely low concentration of Pr ions that is difficult to realize by a controlled experiments. This result is consistent with recent observations in diluted Pr-1-2-20 system Y$_{1-x}$Pr$_x$Ir$_2$Zn$_{20}$ ($x=0.024,\,0.044,\,0.085,$ and $0.44$) reported in Yamane $et\ al$. Phys. Rev. Lett. ${\bf 121}$, 077206 (2018), and is quite different from that in the case of single-channel Anderson impurities system in which the crossover between behaviors of the local Fermi liquid and heavy Fermi liquid occurs at around moderate concentration of impurities as observed in Ce-based heavy fermion system La$_{1-x}$Ce$_x$Cu$_6$.
