Abstract:
For the periodic Anderson model in the strong correlation regime, we
construct the effective Hamiltonian Heff
up to terms of the fourth order in
the parameter V/U, where V is the hybridization interaction intensity and
U is the intra-atom Coulomb repulsion strength. This Hamiltonian contains
interactions inducing both magnetic ordering and Cooper instability under
conditions of a mixed valency of rare-earth ions. Based on numerical
calculations, we obtain information about the dependences of the effective
interaction parameters on the distance between crystal lattice sites. We
demonstrate that realizing exchange interactions corresponds to a strongly
frustrated system of localized spin moments and facilitates the suppression
of the antiferromagnetic order parameter with a possible transition to
the state of a quantum spin liquid. It is essential that among the terms in
Heff inducing the transition to the superconductivity phase, there are
terms resulting in the d-type symmetry of the superconductivity order
parameter; such a symmetry is realized in many heavy-fermion compounds.
