Theory of the metamagnetic crossover in CeRu2Si2
Abstract
Based on the periodic Anderson model, it is shown that the competition between the quenching of magnetic moments by local quantum spin fluctuations and a magnetic exchange interaction caused by the virtual exchange of pair excitations of quasiparticles in spin channels is responsible for the metamagnetic crossover in CeRu2Si2, cooperated with the electron-lattice interaction. The strength of the exchange interaction is proportional to the bandwidth of quasiparticles and its sign changes with increasing magnetizations; it is antiferromagnetic in the absence of magnetizations, whereas it is ferromagnetic in the metamagnetic crossover region. Experimental results of static quantities are well reproduced.
