We study the Kondo--Heisenberg model on the honeycomb lattice at half-filling. Due to the vanishing of the density of states at the fermi level, the Kondo insulator disappears at a finite Kondo coupling even in the absence of the Heisenberg…
In the two-dimensional Kondo-Heisenberg lattice model away from half-filled, the local antiferromagnetic exchange coupling can provide the pairing mechanism of quasiparticles via the Kondo screening effect, leading to the heavy fermion…
Heavy-fermion or Kondo lattice materials are considered to be typical strongly correlated systems, for which mean-field approximations have shown that the Coulomb interaction increases the effective mass and narrows the band gap. In this…
