Abstract

An interplay of the Kondo scattering and exciton effects (d-f Coulomb interaction) in intermediate valence systems and Kondo lattices is demonstrated to lead to an essential change of the scaling behavior in comparison with the standard Anderson model. In particular, a marginal regime can occur where characteristic fluctuation rate is proportional to flow cutoff parameter. In this regime, the “Kondo temperature” itself is strongly temperature-dependent, which may give a key to the interpretation of controversial experimental data for heavy fermions and related systems.
