It reveals that c/a has great effect on the electronic structure, particularly theforbitals, and there exists strong hybridization between the Si-p and U-d orbitals in A1B2-type USi2. These calculations uncover that there exists similarities on the crystal structure and the electronic structure between AIB2-type USi2 and UaSis. Present calculations provide a further insight on the U3Si5, a heavy-fermion system.展开更多

Our previous work[1] has shown that the angle dependenceof the non s-wave pairing gap can reduce the effect of the difference μ between the Fermi surfaces of two spices inasymmetric nuclear matter. On the other hand, in the heavy fermion superconductors, such as CeCoIn5 pressuredCeRhIn5 NpPd5Al2 and Tl-based cuprates, may have a couple of common features, for example, the d-wave pairingand a strong paramagnetic effect (the difference of the two Fermi surfaces μ). Therefore, the angle dependence ofthe pairing gap may have significant influence in these systems.展开更多

Coleman, Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 027002 (2015)] of the Yb-doped heavy fermion superconductor CeCoIns, we revisit the issue of superfluid response in the microscopic heavy fermion lattice model. However, from the literature, an explicit expression for the superfluid response function in heavy fermion superconductors is rare. In this paper, we investigate the superfiuid density response function in the celebrated Kondo- Heisenberg model. To be specific, we derive the corresponding formalism from an effective fermionic large-N mean-field pairing Hamiltonian whose pairing interaction is assumed to originate from the effective local antiferromagnetic exchange interaction. Interestingly, we find that the physically correct, temperature-dependent superfiuid density formula can only be obtained if the external electromagnetic field is directly coupled to the heavy fermion quasi-particle rather than the bare conduction electron or local moment. Such a unique feature emphasizes the key role of the Kondo-screening-renormalized heavy quasi-particle for low-temperature/energy thermodynamics and transport behaviors. As an important application, the theoretical result is compared to an experimental measurement in heavy fermion superconductors CeCoIn5 and Yb-doped Ce1-xYbxCoIn5 with fairly good agreement and the transition of the pairing symmetry in the latter material is explained as a simple doping effect. In addition, the requisite formalism for the commonly encountered nonmagnetic impurity and non-local electrodynamic effect are developed. Inspired by the success in explaining classic 115-series heavy fermion superconductors, we expect the present theory will be applied to understand other heavy fermion superconductors such as CeCu2Si2 and more generic multi-band superconductors.展开更多
