Two-Channel Kondo Lattice: An Incoherent Metal

Condensed Matter 2012-05-31 v2

Abstract

The two-channel Kondo lattice model is examined with a Quantum Monte Carlo simulation in the limit of infinite dimensions. We find non-fermi-liquid behavior at low temperatures including a finite low-temperature single-particle scattering rate, the lack of a fermi edge and Drude weight. However, the low-energy density of electronic states is finite. Thus, we identify this system as an incoherent metal. We discuss the relevance of our results for concentrated heavy fermion metals with non-Fermi-Liquid behavior.
