We demonstrate that a model of disordered Anderson lattices can account for many non-Fermi liquid features observed in a number of Kondo alloys. Due to the exponential nature of the Kondo temperature scale, even moderate disorder leads to a…

The easily tuned balance among competing interactions in Kondo-lattice metals allows access to a zero-temperature, continuous transition between magnetically ordered and disordered phases, a quantum-critical point (QCP). Indeed, these…

When interacting electrons are confined to low-dimensions, the electron-electron correlation effect is enhanced dramatically, which often drives the system into exhibiting behaviors that are otherwise highly improbable. Superconductivity…
