Magnetic and superconducting instabilities in the periodic Anderson model: an RPA stud
Abstract
We study the magnetic and superconducting instabilities of the periodic Anderson model with infinite Coulomb repulsion U in the random phase approximation. The Neel temperature and the superconducting critical temperature are obtained as functions of electronic density (chemical pressure) and hybridization V (pressure). It is found that close to the region where the system exhibits magnetic order the critical temperature Tc is much smaller than the Neel temperature, in qualitative agreement with some TN/Tc ratios found for some heavy-fermion materials. In our study, all the magnetic and superconducting physical behaviour of the system has its origin in the fluctuating boson fields implementing the infinite on-site Coulomb repulsion among the f-electrons.
