Quasiparticle band structure of CeCu2Si2 and CeAl3

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

The band structure for the ground state is obtained for CeCu2Si2 and CeAl3 within the local-density approximation (LDA). Subsequently, the quasiparticle band structure is calculated on the basis of the Kondo Lattice Ansatz (KLA) for the Cerium 4f state using the LDA potential parameters for all other electrons. The KLA requires the specification of both the symmetry of the scattering channel, which is taken from the crystal-field (CF) ground state, and the energy dependence of the scattering phase shift, for which a Kondo resonance is assumed. Different results are obtained for two choices of the CF ground-state parameters for CeCu2Si2. Based on our results the low temperature specific heat is discussed.
