Formation of the Heavy-Fermion State - an Explanation in a Model Traditionally Called Localized
Abstract
Description
In contrary to widely spread view about the substantial delocalization of f electrons in heavy- fermion (h-f) compounds it is argued that h-f phenomena can be understood with localized f electrons. Then the role of crystal-field interactions is essential and the heavy-fermion behaviour can occur for the localized Kramers-doublet ground state.
